Dare ObasanjoI’m constantly amused by the idea that we will invent AGI and AI will solve all of our problems. We don’t need AGI to solve our problems, even ChatGPT can already tell us obvious solutions to our current problems.
We already have good answers on how to reduce gun violence, infant mortality or climate change. The problem is too many people have a vested interest in the problems being unsolved. It isn’t because we haven’t invented smarter than human AI. When we do, we’ll ignore it too.
Design Thinking! ComicI feel powerless in the face of the rampant adoption of A.I. with little to no societal safeguarding or legal protection, so I make jokes while the driverless steamroller slowly crushes us all to death.
Russell Garner"time for a new challenge" -> "time to find something else I can put up with for a bit until the new set of intractable problems become fully apparent"
Nolan LawsonI think this essay by @baldur and his book "The Intelligence Illusion" may have converted me to a full-blown AI skeptic. In particular, for things like coding completion / code generation.

I know that Twitter blocking 3rd party apps isn’t actually a big deal.
But it does sadden me. I’ve been using Tweetbot since it was released in 2011 - which is over a third of my life.
It’s synonymous with Twitter for me, and Twitter is how I met @jalada and Alice at university, and a big part of how I ended up working at News International and GDS. And just like that, Elno has decided that it’s over.
