We're in the process or lighting up our Thinking Machines CM-2 which uses a Symbolics 3670 LISP Machine as its programming front end. The CM-1 was introduced 40 years ago in 1985 and the CM-2 in 1987. While this CM-2 is a single quadrant, we plan to simulate a full CM-2 and have its iconic "deep thought" lights running. Here you can see our lamp panels displaying a clock. This work was done by Jeff Kaylin.

"Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket"
AI will determine how much extra you'd be willing to pay for that ticket.
1. Guessing this'll lead to more predatory pricing, not fairer pricing.
2. Look for this to move to other spaces, like rental cars, hotels. Why not food, clothing, your utility bill?

Former Google CEO Tells Congress That 99 Percent of All Electricity Will Be Used to Power Superintelligent AI

A few years ago, way before "AI" and LLMs became a thing, I made a game called Detective, where the players were randomly paired either with another player, or a chatbot, and had to figure out whether they're speaking with a "robot", or a human pretending to be one.
Looks like we're all playing that game now.
"AI is trained off people, and people copy what they see other people doing. People become more like AI, and AI becomes more like people."
If you are enabling an AI feature scanning all your emails, consider this will also scan the emails people have sent you. This information could include personal or otherwise legally protected information.
If this data leaks later (as it regularly happens with these systems), this could mean severe legal consequences for you down the road.
YOU are responsible for protecting the data of others under your custody.
This includes the messages and emails others send to you.

Definitely read this whole thread about the eBook manager calibre adding AI slop to "chat with books", and why that's a horrible move that immediately destroys trust in calibre. Here are some highlights I especially appreciated:
#AI #GenAI #GenerativeAI #LLMs #eBooks #eBookManager #calibre #AISlop
Here, Calibre, in one release, went from a tool readers can use to, well, read, to a tool that fundamentally views books as textureless content, no more than the information contained within them. Anything about presentation, form, perspective, voice, is irrelevant to that view. Books are no longer art, they're ingots of tin to be melted down.
It is completely irrelevant to me whether this new slopware is opt-in or opt-out. Its mere presence and endorsement fundamentally undermines that stance, that it is good, actually, if readers and authors can exist in relationship to each other without also being under the control of a extractive mindset that sees books as mere vehicles, unimportant as artistic works in and of themselves.

"It's like when we got cellphones and stopped remembering phone numbers, but it's grown to me mentally outsourcing ‘thinking’ in general."
Hot take: Refusing to adapt to AI/LLM mirrors a lack of patience for autistic & neurodivergent persons. If you can't handle an AI, you can't handle a person. I'm talking communication & treatment, not Copyright. Refusing explicit context reveals bias.

For anyone tracking what's going on with generative AI appearing in the eBook software calibre, the calibre developer seems to be asking us to avoid his software:
In a GitHub issue about adding LLM features:
In the bug report:
Personally, besides the fact that I have a zero tolerance policy about generative AI, I've had enough of arrogant software developers. Read the room.

In a GitHub issue about adding LLM features:
I definitely think allowing the user to continue the conversation is useful. In my own use of LLMs I tend to often ask followup questions, being able to do so in the same window will be useful.
In the bug report:
Wow, really! What is it with you people that think you can dictate what I choose to do with my time and my software? You find AI offensive, dont use it, or even better, dont use calibre, I can certainly do without users like you. Do NOT try to dictate to other people what they can or cannot do.
