'tis the season for lists like this. Show me a list and I'll show you a list of problems (inclusions, exclusions, etc.) with it. Maybe we make 'don't make lists' the #1 in the NY resolutions top 10 😉

Would love to hear suggestions for an antidote 🙂

Clairvoyant!

So it's either "smart" features or nothing, which is just dumb.

@charlesfirth.bsky.social and Wankernomics are masters at this kind of stuff

If the Atlantic or New Yorker simply want to fill their pages with BS, then AI slop can do it. Guess who's actually obsolete....

"extruded by machines" may be more accurate (cf. @emilymbender.bsky.social's work)

Empire of AI quotes @rajiinio.bsky.social making a similar point

No shortage of irony or audacity (he quotes & references Bostrom heavily) in this LRB article I read today www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Isn't the fact that our brains do it but not simply by "scale" (data, compute, electricity, water, ....) another argument, albeit much less formal? Also there's no standard definition of AGI, which means a company may decide to announce that they've reached "it" one fine day.

NPR, don't just quote him. Tell us they're lies.

example:

Trump ranted on Truth Social about Harvard's international students, not understanding that international students pay the full tuition price.
