I hate that I'm going to have to forever wonder if a computer is just telling me what I want or expect to hear, or if it's an actual representation of something real. We're gradually replacing every bit of digital paper with one that will eagerly lie to us, rather than remain blank

This is an extremely shitty problem we've created for ourselves

There's one very important thing I would like everyone to try to remember this week, and it is that AI companies are full of shit

Only rarely do their claims actually bear scrutiny, and those are only the mildest of claims they make.

So, anthropic is claiming that their new, secret, unreleased model is hyper competent at finding computer security vulnerabilities and they're *too scared* to release it into the wild.

Except all the AI companies have been making the same hypercompetence claims about literally every avenue of knowledge work for 3+ years, and it's literally never true. So please keep in mind the highly likely possibility that this is mostly or entirely bullshit marketing meant to distract you from the absolute garbage fire that is the code base of the poster child application for "agentically" developed software

You may now resume doom scrolling. Thank you

Today would be a great day for congress to reclaim their sole power to declare war

There are only a few places online where people can gather and interact that _isn't_ massively tipping the scales in favor of AI. But there's no secret cabal of terminally online posters coordinating harassment campaigns to keep AI fans out. (As a terminally online poster, I feel like I would know) It's just that they're not popular here. Which is, actually, extremely predictable. They are artificially supported everywhere else, so if course this space has a higher proportion of members who are less than interested.

So, if we're an unusually tough crowd, it's because they did a bunch of crowd manipulation most everywhere else. And if they can't handle a tough crowd, that is no reason to suggest doing that same crowd manipulation here. 🤷‍♀️

Never gonna give you slop
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna parrot sounds
And desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna use AI
And hurt you
