Whether we like it or not, AI is here and not going anywhere. The excellent colleagues behind @callingbullshit.bsky.social (@jevinwest.bsky.social & @carlbergstrom.com) now have a great resource to help us understand AI and how to deal with it. Highly recommended!

Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.
