Just a reminder that I have a collection of articles, podcasts, and academic papers on AI. It focuses on controversies, issues, legal questions, and bad behavior by AI companies.
The collection is now up to 1,992 items and started in 2022. Find it here:
https://www.zotero.org/bjrussell/collections/KU8QQNVC
It is tagged as I'm a librarian, and I'm compelled to do so. Feel free to send me articles you find as well!
Person 1: [Pubilcly posts something controversial, demonizes large groups of people, criticizes a common behavior, etc.]
Person 2: [Disagrees]
Person 1: [Becomes angry, insults Person 2, runs through list of rhetorical errors, implies Person 2 has shoved their way into a private conversation]
This was peak #Twitter ("peak" is not a compliment in this case). I think perhaps I'm seeing it more on #mastodon and the #fediverse in general in the past year.
A quotation from Mignon McLaughlin
Your children are neither as bad nor as good as you imagine. But then, neither are you.Mignon McLaughlin (1913-1983) American journalist and author
The Neurotic’s Notebook, ch. 2 (1963)

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
Say to yourself first thing in the morning: I shall meet with people who are meddling, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, and unsociable. They are subject to these faults because of their ignorance of what is good and bad.Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 2, ch. 1 (2.1) [tr. Gill (2013)]

A quotation from Moliere:
«
ALCESTE: Finding on every hand base flattery,
Injustice, fraud, self-interest, treachery …
Ah, it’s too much; mankind has grown so base,
I mean to break with the whole human race.

@keengrasp I believe FB and Google as well as other sites are crawling everything aggressively for content to feed AI. I have blocked "GoogleOther" and "facebook.com/externalhit" via .htaccess, and things improved dramatically.
Search is not impacted. Occasionally thumbnails on FB pointing to my site don't work right.
