There’s no reason to respect any part of this process or behave like we need to usher our students toward an “enlightened” use of it. No one should waste their time lending respectability to something whose grounding principle is disrespect to basic human sociality.

A small number of demonstrators attempted to protest/march in the street.

Massive number of ISP troopers in riot gear responded by blocking 25th, threatening arrest, shouting into megaphone about an unlawful assembly.

One of the nastiest things from these nasty pieces of work has been the lie that kidlit creatives, teachers & librarians are somehow grooming kids.

Statistically, a parent, guardian, or other relative is more likely to be the perpetrator: www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/media-room/n...

Post like this and I unfollow and mute. This is erasing centuries of European pogroms and other violence prior to WWII by making America the sin-eater for the entire Western world. I won't have it and I won't let it slide:

OPINION: "I ache that children now know how to barricade doors, that teachers carry more than lesson plans, that parents drop off sons and daughters with bullets in the back of their minds.

In the course of about 24 hours, they efficiently fired a bunch of critical personnel, efficiently realized how stupid that was, and efficiently scrambled to reverse at least some of it.

Most other administrations wouldn’t have even started the first step yet.

Efficient.

Perhaps these things called Large Language Models, which were created to generate text probabilistically, just aren’t a good tool for building statistical forecasting models.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

"Sceptics are privately - and some now publicly - asking whether the rapid rise in the value of AI tech companies may be, at least in part, the result of what they call 'financial engineering'. In other words - there are fears these companies are overvalued."

BREAKING: Some of the layoffs at CDC are being REVERSED.
Here is my updated story.

More than 1,000 CDC staff receive layoff notices during government shutdown

Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

The economics of AI (LLM) data centers continue to be utterly unworkable. This whole thing is going to crash sooner rather than later and leave a giant smoldering crater where a big chunk of the economy used to be.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.
