I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

You can’t defeat fascism by capitulating with it. You absolutely cannot beat fascism by burying your head, and pretending electoralism will save you. You cannot reason with fascism because it is intentionally unreasonable. You have to excise it from society like the cancer it is.

It’s not every day that UX researcher whistleblowers testify before the Senate. Yesterday, two former Meta researchers, Jason Sattizahn and Cayce Savage, shared their concerns with safety research for Meta VR products, and more broadly within Meta. So how does UX research move on from here? 🧵

As I've said before, if Kendrick taught us anything it's that we haven't been hating hard enough.
I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Also fascinating how many well-regarded senior scientists have gone all in on this. Pondering a forthcoming essay collection on the political threats to science from…the American left?
I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time.

I remember as a kid wondering what 2025 would look like.
We all speculated flying cars, robots doing work...
Never would I have imagined the world got completely stupid as we are now.
We can see the problems, there are solutions to the problems, but we don't act.
Why? Because greed won't let us.
