Here is your must-read article for the day, a profile of @emilymbender, and her efforts to deflate the ridiculous hype around large language models such as ChatGPT.

It's also about the people who are behind that hype, and about what their way of thinking has the potential to do to us.

It's worth reading all the way to the end.

For #throwbackthursday, here's a group of semi-feral horses I saw in Denmark last summer, just a minute or three from the sea.
