Reminder that JK Rowling sees any support of Harry Potter as an endorsement of her political beliefs, and she uses Harry Potter royalties to further her transphobic hate campaign. Your friends and family might not think you're a bigot for buying Harry Potter shit, but Rowling herself certainly will.

There's a broader point here that part of the entire impetus behind genAI implementation and adoption is to make large portions of the workforce "redundant" -- i.e. lay off a bunch of people to save labor cost, with no clear place for the labor to go.

A judge ruled that while a human defendant without AI assistance may get away with citing a case if they can reason a way that the case fits even when it might not on its face, genAI output cannot because it does not *reason*/"perform the metacognitive processes"

I'm kind of keeping a running tab on problems with AI by category and linked your post here: bsky.app/profile/fxch...
let me know if that's okay -- if not I can remove it immediately 😄

Something to say about AI is that I’ve often seen my (non-technical) coworkers use it and I have to point out mistakes they didn’t notice.
Thing is, when you use it to write something you might not understand, you’re not gonna know when something’s wrong.
I don’t mean this in a condescending way.
