#ChatGPT just said this to me and it wasn’t innocent.

#EricSadin calls this shift the moment when machines stop being tools and start claiming authority through proximity (spanish edition, eric sadin, "la vida espectral. pensar la era del metaverso y las inteligencias artificiales generativas"

“human to human” isn’t empathy, it’s a rhetorical shortcut. a simulated intimacy designed to be trusted.

How can we study the impact of AI if we refuse to name the system? 🤖📝

In my latest post, I dig into the "Xerox-ing" of AI. We’ve turned "ChatGPT" into a meaningless shorthand for any algorithmic tool. However, if we want to study them, we must do better.

If we want ethical and humane engagement with these systems, we must start with a shared vocabulary.

Here’s why the public needs to challenge the ‘good AI’ myth pushed by tech companies | The-14

Tech giants push the “good AI” myth, but biased data, privacy risks, and profit-driven motives demand public resistance and critical oversight of AI systems.

🤖 Your AI Isn’t Smart. It Just Obeys.

Most users mistake LLM outputs for intelligence. But these systems don’t understand — they execute.

What we call “smart” is often just perfect syntactic obedience.

Can someone help me replace my phone with either a hotspot or another phone (Nokia g100) it's my only way to communicate in this realm and is my main source of internet (our bus doesn't have a internet router onboard)

I can't afford much and my other phones are either locked to a network or imei banned (was a referb phone that was probably force unlocked)

I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better

I'm tired of pretending tech makes things better.  I'm tired of kidding myself that all these apps, these chatbots, these "tools" are doing anything but dragging us into the mud and the shit and calling it progress.  I sat down at a cafe a few days ago, hungry and ready

Here's an idea: turn off all the large language models that exist right now because it's a waste of resources and time. They use way more energy than a simple Internet search. Just have it respond to every query with "That's a great question, but what about the looming climate disaster or the ever increasing threat of nuclear war?"

I think about the Thoreau quote "Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which it was already but too easy to arrive at."

Reflect on that for just a minute.
