Back last year, I wrote a piece about how Tim Walz and his family’s embrace of Gus offered a template for how parents of neurodivergent kids could embrace their loved ones. Thinking about that now as Trump’s supporters are hurling the r-word at the Walz family.

What anxious parents of neurodivergent children can learn from Tim and Gwen Walz
The Walz family’s words and their embrace of their son may seem utterly unremarkable. But that’s the point.

Whatever else it can do, this tech adds work and erodes trust. The extra work is time-wasting and wearying, and I resent the erosion of trust most deeply. I cannot believe it is healthy for society to be ever less sure that anything you encounter is the real thought or expression of a fellow human
I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Here's the reality this example illustrates:
It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

Mind you, the other big Meta bet is making is "Artificial Superintelligence" -- being led by a 28 year old who previously led a company that made money by having poorly paid workers fix AI slop.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the ‘Metaverse’ has cost Meta more than $77B
The company now plans to cut spending on it and shift focus to AI wearables instead

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

This is the Quadro Tracker, a machine that was sold to cops and the military as a bomb/drug/contraband detector that worked by taking a picture of the thing you wanted it to find, inserting that picture into a slot, and then waving a divining rod around
![The FBI commissioned the FBI Laboratory's technicians and Sandia National Laboratories to examine the device. They found that the Quadro Tracker contained no electronics whatsoever. It was merely an empty plastic box in which the only metal parts were a couple of wires and the antenna, which were not connected to each other. The antenna was merely a transistor radio aerial.[4] Attorneys for Quadro Corp. later contended that the inductors and oscillators supposed to be inside the device "aren't the type usually thought of by electronics experts".[6] The "locator chip" was shown to be equally fake; one example put on display by the FBI contained dead ants that had been frozen and stuck onto paper with epoxy glue.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wfy4l5sl22lgb2lakf6kwqvw/bafkreifppvwls7shwcthyiri7vnzj2ljarq3ug7mf4snpp3iflw3qcctne@jpeg)
