large language models are good at predicting language. that makes them great at rough translation, transcription, and summarization. it also makes them useless at generating or synthesizing useful new information. but it LOOKS like it can do so much more and you only realize it can’t after a while
“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...

I was saving @beyondthebreakers.bsky.social Karluk expedition series for my Alaska trip but I ended up not listening then. I'm listening to it today and it's even more fascinating than the facts I already knew. Fuck Stefansson and your friendly Arctic - I love the frozen North but it isn't friendly

spent about 3 hours hunting (successfully 😀) through scans of 1610s history/travel writing for a specific full quotation that was referenced in other places but not included entirely. It will take up 30 - 45 seconds of show time to read in the episode

our social media team was getting some classroom action shots and caught @clintsmithiii.bsky.social in the background

a new study finds that there is enough microplastic in your nads to make a little army guy. whats worse is that its the guy with the radio so he doesnt even have a gun. and he has a bunch of extra plastic along the seam on the bottom so he keeps falling over.

Because the whole point of the AI industry is not to produce things or facilitate things, but to insist that people believe that it will produce and facilitate things. So long as you can keep up the belief, the money machine keeps churning
