Launched my Substack! ✨📌

First post is about Trump's AI executive order requiring system prompt disclosure to prove AI isn't 'woke.'

It's not making AI neutral, just embedding Trump's ideology while claiming objectivity.

There could never be a 'Woke AI.' On a technical level, these are machines trained to identify and reproduce statistical biases in uncurated datasets. They are constrained only by the instructions written by the companies building them. The order just demands AI companies do it in a specific way. ⬇️

Anthropic: "omg guys, our model can't even keep an in-house vending machine profitable, lol"

Also Anthropic: "oh but please use it for your high-stakes financial decisions 🥺"

Haha, we wondered the same! Truly a lesson in patience. And I think they will give us a bit more time for the rebuttals then, right?

At least we're in the same boat, was getting worried :D

Same problem. Still nothing? Getting a bit worried?

Data & Society’s Jacob Metcalf writes that whenever you hear someone advocating for acceleration, you should ask: accelerating toward what? Today’s techno-accelerationists aim to undo generations of slow, arduous progress toward social, political, and economic equality, he says.

Ohhhh Molly Crockett‘s @mjcrockett.bsky.social keynote talk at #FAccT2025 was soo good 🔥🔥🔥

She talked about how techno-optimism is really human pessimism, how DEAD benchmarks don’t capture full human capacities and feed the hype cycle, how we need to avoid monoculture & imagine new worlds together

It's good that bigger mainstreamer people such as John Oliver are also talking about the "AI slop" era and phenomenon. I do think he was a bit too charitable though.

AI slop is not just bad visuals, it's the esthetic of modern fascism.

On chatbots as a bad design paradigm

“ChatBot” is bad design

Loved it despite the technical challenges! Using AI as friction is such a nice metaphor, thanks so much for your insights 🙏

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”
