The problem with #AI regulation is that it is regulation about AI. Not only because it regulates something as vague as the concept of AI, but also because it again compartmentalizes, diffuses and decontextualizes systemic problems into categories.

This is not a technology problem which needs a tech solution.

News headlines are - by definition - the most succinct but accurate summary of the story. That is what they are for. There is just no function for a summary of news headlines. #AI is a (bad) solution in search of a problem. Again. #AppleIntelligence#AIHype#SnakeOil

"This article addresses the poverty of The Plan and the emptiness of its claims about #AI but, rather than a point-by-point rebuttal, it's about the underlying reasons why this #Labour government supports measures that will harm both people and the environment."

A Winter Night in an AI Summer AI Discourse and The Disconnect from Reality On a slightly rainy winter night in 2023 in a small dutch city, I went for a post- “AI & Philosophy Workshop” dinner at an Eritrean restaurant with a group of philosophers and scientists. We sat around the table to share food, thoughts, and some “food for thought”! Only two of the attendees, including me, were engineers from the industry and NOT from Europe/US or whatever the “Western World” means. This aspect became more noticeable when the discussions started and it stirred up many thoughts in my mind! https://www.onceupondata.com/post/2025-01-05-philosophy-ai/

It's really effing obvious LLMs are a con trick:

If LLMs were actually intelligent, they would be able to just learn from each other and would get better all the time. But what actually happens if LLMs only learn from each other is their models collapse and they start spouting gibberish.

LLMs depend entirely on copying what humans write because they have no ability to create anything themselves. That's why they collapse when you remove their access to humans.

There is no intelligence in LLMs, it's just repackaging what humans have written without their permission. It's stolen human labour.

I was just talking to a colleague about the AI bubble. These companies are in so deep they can't tell the truth. They are all lying about the efficacy, costs to consumers and most importantly how & when this tech works or doesn't.

Is there enough money on the line to kill over?

There's likely a trillion bucks of valuations across the industry. Billions in sunk costs, billions in c suite remuneration, billions in VC mgmt costs.

RIP Suchir

This whole situation is about as believable as a Russian dissident or oligarch falling out of a midrise window in Moscow. Like the Boeing whistle blower I don't think it much matters if "foul play" was involved because this whole scenario is foul af.

This young man was very brave and righteous to blow the whistle and was undoubtedly under immense social and professional pressure not to. He's fucking up A LOT of people's grifty gravy train.

We should read his words
