Since it’s anniversary weekend for #MST3K & I just rediscovered my Tumblr, here’s a (reprinted) 1991 piece I did for the late, lamented Corporate Report Minnesota on the business side of their operation, which was then 3 years old: www.tumblr.com/dbrauer/6808...

Grateful to The Verge for publishing my essay on why large-language models are not going to achieve general intelligence nor push the scientific frontier.

Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be
The AI boom is based on a fundamental mistake.

The number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits hit 1.974 MILLION, the highest in 4 years.
This likely means the unemployment rate is now higher than the reported 4.4% in September, as finding a job is increasingly difficult. #EconSky

I’m sure I’m gonna get dragged for this, but I think AI is bad. AI has completely ruined Google search and it’s created a lot more slop that needs to be avoided on the Internet.
