How cultural institutions subtly silence and exclude writers, in the guise of concern or responsibility, to censor and “reshape[s] what other writers feel able to say, and what audiences are permitted to hear”.

By isolating one writer as a potential risk, the institution produces a broader chilling effect in which participation itself becomes precarious. Public debate shrinks not because anyone is ordered to be silent, but because speech itself has been recoded as the risk.
Please read my two latest posts on my linkblog. I am getting real tired of the arbitrary 500-char limit.

Unmesh Joshi writes about the importance of representing ubiquitous language in code. Maybe I also understand this on a subconscious level, that's why I rename every variable in LLM-generated code. As LLMs make code generation cheaper, the mechanical act of writing instructions becomes less central
Two legal scholars assert that AI, by its very design, undermines democratic institutions, even when used properly.
They highlight three corrosive "affordances":
• atrophy of expertise,
• moral decisions short-circuited,
• social isolation, which undermines dissent and agency.

Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press—are the backbone of democratic life. They are the mechanisms through which complex societies encourage cooperation and stability, while also adapting to changing circumstances. The real superpower of institutions is their ability to evolve and adapt within a hierarchy of authority and a framework for roles and rules, while maintaining legitimacy for the knowledge produced and the actions taken. Purpose-driven institutions built around transparency, cooperation, and accountability empower individuals to take intellectual risks and challenge the status quo. This happens through the machinations of interpersonal relationships within those institutions, which broaden perspectives and strengthen shared commitment to civic goals. Unfortunately, the affordances of AI systems extinguish these institutional features at every turn. In this essay, we make one simple point: AI systems are built to function in ways that degrade and are likely to destroy our crucial civic institutions. The affordances of AI systems erode expertise, short-circuit decision-making, and isolate people from each other. They are anathema to the kind of evolution, transparency, cooperation, and accountability that give vital institutions their purpose and sustainability. In short, current AI systems are a death sentence for civic institutions, and we should treat them as such.
It is natural for an organisation to sideline process improvement initiatives.

Show me a business or a school or a church that is preoccupied with its customers or clients, determined to do its best for them and not just to survive for the sake of surviving, and I'll bet you that they don't have time for too many committees, for forms, for politicking or for nitpicking about mistakes. Those are the organizations which are fun to be in, which give you room to be yourself, to express yourself, to grow.
