Work on genre — but also, increasingly, plot. Methods that range from close reading, to logistic regression, to LLMs. Scale combined with precise aesthetic description. After all, why not?

It’s feels like all of society are in a collective mass psychosis greed pyramid scheme right now.

I assume it felt like this in May of 1929.

Teen2: Can I read you the opening paragraph of my essay?

Me: Of course

Teen: [reads thing indicating he has no idea how much time I have spent 'grading' AI generated essay content over the past couple of years]

Me: I ... do not want to hear what ChatGPT says about this

Teen: I swear, I didn't use Chat!

Me: I don't want to hear what ANY AI has to say. I only want to hear what YOU write. In your words. Your writing.

Teen: I ...

Me: [stare]

Teen: Ok I put it into Google. I can read you the original. But it's not as good.

Me: YES PLEASE

Teen: [reads good, human, high school essay intro paragraph]

Me: That, bro, is all I want. That is all anyone wants. Just bring me your writing. Just you. Nothing else.

Teen: But it has comma splices and stuff. And repeated words.

Me: YES. Please just bring that. I really do not want or need to hear what the predictive text machine says 1000 other people have said. I just want to hear YOU.

Teen: Ok. [Returns to read me paragraphs all evening]

Museum practices of fetishisation, exotification, dispossession and display have led me to reflect on the role of a museum in society. If we are to decolonise (refuse dehumanisation), what part of these new worlds will the museum play? Can the museum be decolonised?

Perched on a hillside surrounded by rolling countryside stands the Iron Church, built in the 1880s. Abandoned for over two decades it is rotten and collapsing; it is only a matter of time before she disappears completely.

Silently ignoring unrecognized configuration options is a security risk and should be treated as such.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

So AI is going great

I’m going to start doing a weekly roundup post of the interesting package management links, send me your tips to get them included (or rss feeds I should follow)

A gentle reminder that #neurodiversity is a thing, and the diversity of cognitive neurotypes means that the sweeping generalization you just made about human nature is probably wrong.

No, not everyone thinks the same way, or even sees the world the same way. But public discourse almost always ignores and excludes #neurodiverent (ND) folk from the conversation. Our needs are not considered and our opinions are not respected, if the neurotypical (NT) majority even remembers we exist.

I feel strongly that the path to fixing the world goes through embracing neurodiversity and making the world more inclusive of all neurotypes. The world has been the playground of the NT majority for all of recorded history, and we've seen how that goes.

#Autistic people often talk about our need for justice, or even fairness. There's a study that's famous in the autistic community for concluding that autistic people are impaired by caring too much about ethics and living by our principles, because their study showed that autisitic people would not cheat to get a benefit unfairly. In my opinion, choosing to act unethically when it gets you something is not a good thing. The whole point of ethics is not to do that! "It's OK to cheat if it helps me win" is a deranged thing to think, buy that's the standard the researchers used to conclude that it's autistic people who have a problem.

This is the kind of bullshit that is strangling our civilization. The people who can see the real problems or could fix them have been marginalized so society doesn't have to step up and deal with this death spiral of cognitive overspecialization. And yet we talk about ableism and neuronormativity like that only hurts ND folk, when it's actually hurting the whole world.

OK, so maybe this reminder wasn't as gentle as I hoped for. It's hard to talk about this without getting all worked up, but somebody has to say it. #ActuallyAutistic

As per my posts, I have the luxury of not having LLM vendors shoved down my throat, and I generally avoid them for ethical reasons:

But because this all these questions about the usage and limits of these tools keep crashing through my doors, all of our doors, whatever we think of the ethical showstoppers, well…

…fight off amazing percentages of LLM overhype with this one weird question.
