AI is good for … democracy?

@alexhanna.bsky.social and I think not. But of course the hypemongers would try this angle too giving us great fodder for the next Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 livestream:

There are various shades of this, with which I disagree, out there.
“What is needed is education for the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence, guided by intellectual integrity, methodological transparency, and recognition of the human role in curating and interpreting knowledge.”

I'm in a WhatsApp group about AI (there are critics and enthusiasts—mostly enthusiasts). Two people spoke highly of the use of AI in the public sector. I'm holding myself back...

Congrats!!
Well deserved!
Happy and honored: I have been selected to become an IEEE Fellow for "contributions to analyzing software and its development process". Thanks a lot to all of you who endorsed and supported me – especially @cispa.de + @saarland-informatics-campus.de, who always encouraged such long-term impact.
Congratulations! We are delighted that @andreaszeller.bsky.social will be elevated to IEEE Fellow on January. This is the highest grade of membership in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This recognition highlights once more the excellent research that is carried out at CISPA.

AI reviewers?
UPDATE: The publisher intends to retract the paper, but insists it went through two rounds of review from two independent peer reviewers: nobreakthroughs.substack.com/p/riding-the... by @jacksonwryan.com. No word on how they will make sure this sort of thing never happens again.

Well, at least it was on Nature Scientific Reports, which we know is not that good.
Keep saying, AI is seriously undermining knowledge work in all kinds of ways. In Nature, no less (not that that isn't far more prestige driven than quality driven to begin with, but still)
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Please recommend it to your Sora-loving uncle, or your ChatGPT-enthused father-in-law.

Helps address questions like:
1. How much water did that Google AI Overview take? and;
2. Will the robots kill us all?

I don't doubt that. But are they worth the costs?
At the risk of starting the flame war to end all flame wars...

Modern LLMs (GPT-5.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) produce excellent code and can be a significant productivity boost to software engineers who take the time to learn how to effectively apply them - especially if used with coding agent tools

I love this tech #5
It's been nearly eleven months since this post and Google AI overviews STILL tells me Encanto 2 is "set for release in the US on August 25, 2024"

I wonder if this bug will make it to its one year birthday next month

This is a point which is worth repeating.
“When we critique AI, we should do so with intellectual honesty and in a principled way. Utmost care is needed to avoid ethics washing, greenwashing, and generally — what we dub — critical washing.”
“Reflecting on the harms of AI is not itself harm reduction. It may even contribute to rationalizing, normalizing, and enabling harm. Critical reflection without appropriate action is thus quintessentially critical washing.”

Suarez [et al. (2025, par. 7)]

Are we seeing the EdZitrification of media?
OpenAI will have to pay off $400 billion in debt by 2026, but no one has any idea how it will do so
OpenAI's colossal deals and its ambition to build data centers could end up being a double-edged sword for the company

OpenAI terá que pagar dívidas de US$ 400 bilhões em 2026, mas ninguém tem a menor ideia de como ela vai fazer isso
