I feel like I am forever caught between people who haven’t personally used AI and underestimate it and people who haven’t personally used AI and overestimate it.

Why don’t people like to actually try things?
I meet a lot of very smart AI critics who never seriously try to make AI work for them by spending a couple of hours with a frontier model working on hard tasks

People can be (and should be & are) critical after realizing what AI can do, but experience leads to better-informed and sharper critiques

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Most accurate post about Trump remains that Reddit post that was like “Stupid Americans are the new Irish Americans and Trump is their JFK”
*More than half of the GOP believe the 2020 election outcome was the result of fraud
*More than 4 out of 10 believe 9/11 was an inside job
*37% believe the Holocaust did not happen or was exaggerate
*36% believe NASA faked the moon landing
*1 in 3 believe vaccines cause autism

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

The psychological effect of this transition must be massive. Formerly, people were just walking around with these horrendous traumas as the unspoken backdrop of their lives.

This is inconvenient information, but there is not one kind of AI/ML technology that only does the good use cases and a different kind of AI/ML that only does the bad use cases

As I’ve said before, I don’t do much with generative image/video models, but I’m surprised how willing Gemini/Nano Banana Pro is to generate images of public figures. I’m also surprised by how reluctant it is to generate an image of Hugh Jackman in a Speedo as compared to Margot Robbie in a bikini.

Cyber Monday is here and deals are going fast! These deals are diaphanous. They are receding even as we speak, becoming mere memories of deals, prices longed for but lost, hints at what could have been had for less. A golden slant of sun through window falls on an empty countertop. Act now.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Not great that we’ve created a system where the best job opportunities for working class men involve either overseeing other working class people in prison, or working as masked secret police violently hunting down working class immigrants targeted for deportation despite having committed no crimes.
