In 1930, a German newspaper imagined life in the 2000s, depicting people at the dinner table using telephones instead of talking to one another. Boy, did they get that wrong.

Shadow (he/him)Yeah, so I’ve decided that I don’t support politicians who scapegoat Jews* for everything they think is wrong. And whose sole purity test is whether one believes that the entire nation of Israel is evil and should be destroyed. *Including but not limited to George Soros.

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012
One way boosters of LLMs-they-call-AI are trying to make them seem more reliable is having them display a “Chain of Thought.” The theory is this helps users determine where the LLM is going wrong. Problem is, CoT itself is also unreliable. Per Anthropic: www-cdn.anthropic.com/b9ca6db27f02...

Alex WildThe short version is: after a month the AI has not given me any good reasons to trust it, and I am honestly freaked out by the confidence with which it weaves completely wrong facts into prose, and the confidence with which it writes and professionally formats entire sections of bullshit.
🧵 “[I]f they co-operate, they keep their jobs. If they defect, they will possibly be fired by their embarrassed peers (who have now been implicitly called liars, cowards, or incompetents) and then replaced with someone that will toe the line anyway.”
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)Neoclassical econ assumes rationality. The corollary of, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" is "you're rich, so you must be very smart!" Thus, people assume that if powerful, well-compensated CEOs insist that "AI is changing everything," well then, *AI must be changing everything*. 1/
Hey, GOP, if you don’t like it when the President of the United States tries to blackmail you with the threat of even more high Crimes and Misdemeanors, the Constitution does provide a handy exit ramp.

jessamynI work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Not just “zero evidence of fraud,” but concrete evidence of no fraud. www.brookings.edu/articles/mai...
This CBS News story reports Trump’s SCOTUS appeal on mail-in voting as just a garden-variety legal move. It doesn’t even make a nod toward noting that there’s zero evidence of fraud in the procedure. And that’s the subtle, gradual way you degrade a news org. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...
