Your LLM merely searched lots of related information, some perhaps good, some perhaps trash.

Gave you a summary you are too dumb to QC so you think LLMs are the future of all.

The only way this could work is if AI were to replace 50+% of all workers....who would then be totally screwed.

No scenario ends well here

If you're tired of generative AI, you're probably wondering how it'll end, and when.

So far, the conversation has centered on the broken, putrid economics of companies like OpenAI.

My latest newsletter is about how generative AI doesn't just need money to survive, but faith.

Every time we see another big genAI foul-up, that faith will waver, and its end becomes all the more likely.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

Electric bicycles, and shared electric bicycles in particular, are a revolutionary transportation technology. Forward-looking cities should be building out the infrastructure necessary to make cycling safe and convenient for everyone who wants to do it.

Can’t decide which is the wilder use of “BREAKING” by a government official:

1. “BREAKING: I’m launching undercover operations” — Texas Attorney General

Or

2. “BREAKING: MSNBC still an ass clown factory” — FBI Director

FBI Director Kash Patel &
@FBIDirectorKash

BREAKING: MSNBC still an ass clown factory of disinformation. Same circus animals that slobbered all over perp walks of Stone, Navarro, Bannon...
MSNBC has no facts and no audience
In this @fbi, follow the chain of command or get relieved.

Fortunately for AJ Link, we've kept all his manuscripts safe and sound right where he left them. 3/11

I dont think one can be racist, etc. to a machine/AI

~90% of terms i see thrown around were certainly picked from those sources tho

I appreciate many applications and absolutely hate others (mostly those pushed by hype companies and surveillance trash), I dont need a special word to talk shit

Hope you understand that now that boots are on the ground in Chicago it’s going to accelerate again much more brutally.

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.
