Bonus bonus: @ainowinstitute.bsky.social's Sarah West and @ambakak.bsky.social in the WSJ today.... "...the federal government is already bailing out the AI industry with regulatory changes and public funds that will protect companies in the event of a private sector pullback."
Opinion | You May Already Be Bailing Out the AI Business
Washington is treating the industry as if it’s too big to fail, even as the market sends lukewarm signals.

I do, of course, have a paragraph from "Why We Fear AI" for this
An LLM is an abstraction over the status quo (or rather, the text of the status quo) that has, at its core, no other aim than producing more text that is just like the text already in existence. One result is that the dominant ideas, the dominant textual patterns of our time, are recast as “intelligence” per se. We might call the complex mass of concepts and ideas, the channels into which ideas flow often and easily, or the boundaries of what is reasonable to debate in so-called “polite society”—the dominant ideology of an age. An age’s dominant ideology tends to presuppose that the power of that age is natural; the hallmark of ideology, in this sense, is that it is easy to recognize only when it’s past its time. We may no longer think that an almighty god appointed a king to rule us, that women are naturally unfit to vote, or that sex outside of a heterosexual marriage is immoral. But at various times, to think otherwise (to think of replacing the monarchy with a republic, to affirm that women are people, or being in favor of sexual or gay liberation) was the far more difficult, even dangerous thought—if not to have, then at the very least to put in writing. Ideology, of course, is never complete, other thoughts are always possible. But ideology is easy to think, it’s what our thoughts are already marinated in. And hence, ideology will be dominant in the textual patterns of an age. Seen in this light, what is called “intelligence” in a language model, is really that—ideology as a thing that can pretend to be a person.

Generativ AI är den snabbaste vägen till idiokratin. Det är i expressfart rakt ner i dumhetens mörka djup, där folk inte längre kommer att klara av att skriva de enklaste texterna själva.

De lär väl vilja ha röd-vitt-blått för att visa att vi är en Amerikansk lydstat.

Nä men ojsan
Tweet från mig från juni 2023: Det finns cirka 0 chans att utbetalningsmyndigheten kommer stoppa tillräckligt mycket fusk för att inte gå massivt back, men det spelar ingen roll. Syftet är inte att stoppa fuskare, utan att göra livet svårare för alla människor som har rätt till bidrag.

Man hör ju redan högermän måla upp skräckscenarier om ökade sjuktal. Nej, sjuktalen har inte ökat det är sjuktal som tidigare dolts i statistiken pga att sjuka inte haft råd att vara sjuka.

Om karensen slopas kommer säkert högern mena att en uppgång av sjukskrivningstalen är synonymt med uppgången av fuskandet. Men egentligen visar det mest hur många som under decennier gått till jobbet fast dom borde varit hemma
