It genuinely looks like within a decade or two we will have clean energy clean transport and treatments for most major diseases all within reach of a majority of the worlds population. We have also created a mostly reliable information source that seems to be trusted by people who don’t trust others

I swear this is programmed in

One for the “man AI moves fast” pile. On the left Opus 5 when asked to create an education diagram of the human skeleton a month or so ago. On the right Astra doing it a few days ago:

I am begging people to stop using AI Overview as representative of LLMs. It is, by design, the worse example you could choose.

This may be blindingly obvious but I realised the problem here and why it’s funny is that a mea culpa from a model means nothing because we can’t punish a model. Which gives me hope for humans always in the loop as a cat to kick once the shit has rolled down hill.

Clowning: not bonk bonk

We have allowed social media to basically wipe out whatever traces of the Enlightenment remained & we are heading back to personalist authoritarianism & mysticism faster than anyone seems prepared to acknowledge. It's really fucking bad.

My hottest LLM take is if you rely on an LLM being "facts and statistics" about the training corpus rather than the corpus to argue it's not copyright infringement this necessarily implies that the result of this process is itself not a copyrightable work and therefore all weights are public domain.

Companies that “want your data” almost universally just want to make products and adverts you’ll like more and send you less spam not the opposite.

Just the most bizarre shit on the timeline today. JK Rowling chooses not to cure endometriosis now apparently?

Graham in primary school told me he could fly but he couldn’t show me because then the government would see and take him away to do experiments.

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

Anyway Cory Doctorow explains it better than me, in case you're in doubt. And he's certainly no shill for Big Tech.

London really is lovely isn’t it?

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Banger after banger from Big Pharma recently.

Me explaining why I’m on BlueSky

Where’s Historic England when you need them?

If it can do one professional job, it can do them all. Big if tho.

So I stopped scrolling my phone in bed and started reading my kindle and now I sleep through the night and wake up refreshed, wt actual f?

When I signed up I did not realise the “Blue” in BlueSky referred to furry porn.

#pusb Been a Lampard skeptic and still am but it’s coming together. More basic football and five at the back has stopped the errors and meant the goals we score win us games. Not sure how it works when the three who are oh are back but that’s a nice problem to have. Now onto three very tough games…

#pusb Rumours King has failed to attract investment and is open to offers on the club…
