My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Now I’m just a simple country lawyer but it seems to me that if you use a predictive text generator to send people to prison you and everyone in your supervisory chain should get disbarred.

i love teaching 8-11 yos - they often have really impressive knowledge (today a 10 yo patiently explained to me that the earth revolves around the sun bc of gravity), but at the same time, their knowledge hasn't quite coalesced yet into 1 coherent worldview.

Yesterday a friend asked what I thought about AI. I said “I don’t usually talk like this, but I find it deeply immoral. It’s anti-human and the men who push it don’t know what it means to be human.”

I wish I had seen this, because the words I was looking for were simply, “I am an AI hater.”
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.
I Am An AI Hater
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

yesterday i got to baffle some students by telling them we can see events that happened at the start of the universe using the JWST. today, i get to show some eye doctors around and try to shock them by explaining how their 19th c counterparts were trained. i have a pretty good gig.
