Your regular reminder that as bad as you think things currently are living in a country run by an incompetent and corrupt group of racist grifters, it’s going to get worse.
Look out for yourselves and your community.

I want to be clear that this is pretty divorced from my own views of likely scenarios, even likely nightmare scenarios, so they're not getting this from me.
If you're reading this and you're involved in LLM hype, I'd really like you to take a moment to pause and examine the fact that this is the commonly accepted peer wisdom in a 2nd-grade classroom right now. That their parents' generation is actively involved in betraying them to a distant and inscrutable machine-god of pure greed.

i guess fundamentally i'm not convinced that whatever amount useful functionality has emerged from generative AI (and i think the jury's still out on whether that amount is non-zero) couldn't have been achieved in more cost-effective, equitable and sustainable ways by having taken the money and resources we've shoveled into gen AI and investing them elsewhere
("sustainable" in the sense of environmentally sustainable but also "can we keep this in a working state" sustainable)
