Folks, I need to talk about this Grok/X/ #AI thing. I will not give details. But the vile aspects of these news, added to the downfall of mainstream journalism quoting Grok as if it was a real entity... I think all of this should give people pause. Like, where are we fucking going. It's been several years now and we have not seen any glimpse of a bright future with this #GenAI shitshow. Consider this an exercise of screaming into the void 🧵
The #AI companies are onto me!
#OpenAI recently automated the process of identifying tasks worthy of "slow" #reasoning.
In "Strategic Reflectivism...", I showed how that's key to #intelligence (human or machine).

No gremlins (hopefully).
Just #eev #git and #slime #commonLisp #elisp useage. Then I am going to compare #ai to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_fishing and changes since #gof_ai .
Also! I am going to be away for the following two weeks, sorry about the unscheduled downtime.

AI generated (bad) content aka aislop is killing reality, truth, information, internet, search engines like google, ... We are all fucked... 😮🤔 (Accept we use reputable media/platforms like public broadcast.)
With the new Sora 2 app by openai you just need to enter some text to generate realistic looking videos and publish them online.
Half of worldwide internet traffic is bot generated. internet is becoming ainternet. 💩

AI generated images/videos and music are thievery: taking what wasn't given.
We must reflect and practice restrain, do not consume them, and much less, spread them. We all should know this by now
Especially heartbreaking is to see monastics, Buddhist pages and YouTube channels, senior practitioners using them
2nd precept: undertake the training rule to abstain from taking what is not given

"When generative AI and large language models (LLMs) work, or appear to work, using them truly feels like magic. They can be very empowering, especially when used as an accessibility tool.
But they are also an unreliable technology built on exploitation of workers, particularly from third world countries, and our environment. Its frequent use may lead to cognitive decline and a loss of skills, and can actually decrease productivity."
Getting ever closer to living the dream!
"Slackbot today is fairly rudimentary. But what we've done is we've actually rebuilt it from the ground up as a personalized AI companion."

I need some #math / #machinelearning / #AI / #physics people to confirm for me that the topology of latent space shows non-Euclidean characteristics. This is not for a technical project; I'm trying to understand just how well cultural theorists are using their mathy metaphors. Thanks in advance!
Over the weekend, did you see the much-shared story on Reddit by a supposed whistleblower?
It started like this: "I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. I’m posting this from a library Wi-Fi on a burner laptop because I am technically under a massive NDA. I don’t care anymore."
Well, it was a fake.

Recently, I spent a lot of time reading & writing about LLM benchmark construct validity for a forthcoming article. I also interviewed LLM researchers in academia & industry. The piece is more descriptive than interpretive, but if I’d had the freedom to take it where I wanted it to go, I would’ve addressed the possibility that mental capabilities (like those that benchmarks test for) are never completely innate; they’re always a function of the tests we use to measure them ...

I wanted to share my opinions on #AI, specifically #genAI. Thanks for reading!

Who are these eminent philosophers?
Anthropic describes this constitution as being written for Claude. Described as being "optimized for precision over accessibility." However, on a major philosophical claim it is clear that there is a great deal of ambiguity on how to even evaluate this. Eminent philosophers is an appeal to authority. If they are named, then it is possible to evaluate their claims in context. This is neither precise nor accessible.
I wish every AI activity had compulsory information along these lines attached:
This request required this much energy to be completed. Plus monthly reports for every account.
We know the CO2 equivalent of our travels, this should be much easier to do
"Research outfit Five Percent has published a new white paper analysing online content published between January 2020 and May 2025. The results indicate that material created with machine learning tools initially overtook human-written content late last year."

AI slop is threatening journalism by churning out clickbaity versions of original stories, capturing web traffic, and destroying readers' trust in media. NiemanLab's Ben Paviour takes a look at how it's proliferating, with the help of Google.
