Minimizing COVID-19 is maximizing social harm
Governments, in the interest of maintaining the status quo, seem to be misleading people and hoping for the best.

I will add the following: our students lack the research skills required to audit an LLM essay for errors. They don’t arrive on campus with these skills; we teach it to them over four long years. So throwing freshmen in the deep end and saying “swim your way to a shore of rectitude” is folly.

I'm so tired of people telling me to have students critique LLM outputs. I'm just going to print this on little cards and hand them out

Donald Trump will show his commitment to ordinary working Americans by taking away jobs in health care after he is finished taking away jobs in manufacturing and the rest of the economy.

Before it was "AI powered" (TM) it was a "Google summary," which effectively existed to steal the content of the thing you were actually looking for so that you'd stay within the Google ecosystem instead of landing on another site. It was about retention time.

AI in search engines is going to end that brief golden age at the dawn of smart phones where you could settle a stupid bar argument in seconds instead of going in circles for hours with an increasingly belligerent stranger (or worse, friend)
I gave up on telling family members this years ago. The single worst thing to happen to search engines and that’s saying something.

So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.
