IQ is a measure of how good you are at IQ tests, which is something informed by how familiar you are with taking academic tests (& thus the quality of your school, which is in part determined by your parents' wealth, etc). there's nothing in particular that makes them a good test of intelligence
I saw this ad on the train and I’m curious how yall feel about it… I’m very much in the center, but slightly more towards than against…

ICE’s arrests without warrants or probable cause have made people live in fear of daily activities like driving in their own neighborhoods or walking their kids to school.

"assumption of bad faith" is the proper way to treat right wing complaints like this and I have a hard time thinking of a situation in which it was incorrect
Assumption of good faith is a solid heuristic.
But also "assumptions" are guesses you make before you have the evidence. You are allowed to retract good faith once more evidence arises.
But also, you shouldn't assume good faith from folks who are your avowed enemies.

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

I think this is an underrated source of the extent to which Bluesky is in a false consensus about public AI hatred. If you are a power user on a microblogging site you are basically by definition not going to see the "take the effort out of reading and writing" machine as being useful
I think more than anything else AI feels like a miracle to people with questionable literacy because it can read and write for you, and a lot of us who are highly literate underestimate how many of our society's leaders, esp in business, struggle with literacy.
It's pretty much mandatory at work that I appear to be using it, so I've doe a few functional things with it, and it's a moderate time-saver if used right. But nowhere near worth it's stock value, energy cost.
Then I realize there's a lot of people who simply can't write coherent paragraphs.

I think the problem is more inherently human. I think it's similar to "I HAVE to be good at drawing to be an artist" or "I HAVE to be good at an instrument to be a musician". Its hard to find people that are like "I suck at this but I have fun with it regardless"
