@br00t4c A great expose. None should doubt what ends the autonomous control of information serves. It is not Ai and it’s not an ethically sustainable morality, but the capture of minds to preserve industrial ecocide, as should be obvious. HAL 9000 is not sorry! #MetaHeuristicLies #TheAiCon #IPTheft #FascistsTools #TechIsNotASoutionJustATool #AiBS #EmpiresEnd #TheFederation #NotHAL

@meganL The best thing I have found so far to demystify #AI is @emilymbender's and @alexhanna's #TheAIcon. Very easy to understand also for non-techies. To be purchased first though.

@emilymbender and @alex

In your book #TheAICon you have an "alternative" term for hallucinations. As I have a paper copy of the book I couldn't find the place where 😕

Would you be so kind to remind you which is the term you use?

This book is SO good I am taking notes.

Het is ellenlang, maar de moeite waard om er de tijd voor te nemen.

Reading #TheAICon by #EmilyBender and #AlexHanna and I’m really enjoying their rhetorical technique of using the more accurate phrase “synthetic text extruding machines” to refer to #LLMs rather than loaded expression “AI.”
