I’m not trans. As far as I know, my kids aren’t at the moment. Nobody in my family is. None of my good friends are. I don’t prescribe medication for gender affirming care. I don’t specifically treat folks for gender dysphoria. So why do I give a fuck?
You don’t punch down. There’s no transgender machine producing trans judiciary and trans politicians and trans PACs to come for my cisgender. There are trans folks being discriminated against, outed, beaten, jailed, and killed. I hate bullies.
Why mathematicians are boycotting their biggest conference: More than 1,500 mathematicians are demanding that their field’s most prestigious meeting be moved from the U.S.
(While unfortunate, this needs to happen. Everyone should move their meet-ups away from the US for now) #uspol
A thing being repeated across businesses worldwide, including at Microsoft, is C level execs struggling to know why most staff aren’t using Copilot for M365, despite how much it costs.
Because most staff don’t spend all day in Teams meetings reading out PowerPoint slides to people who pretend to care. They have actual jobs. Doing work. Which they know how to do. Because it is their job.

multiple people now have said that the thing they like about LLMs is that they don't have to deal with feeling embarrassed or humiliated by bringing questions to others that the others will judge them for.

y'all.
this is a classic "solving a people problem with tech and having horrible side effects as a result" situation
and perhaps y'all ought to be less fucking toxic and judgemental to your coworkers.
fuck.
The difference between the tech industry and, say, Enron is that the tech industry is a cluster of very large, deeply intertwined megacorporations. They're like the 2007 era banks in terms of their interconnectedness: big tech orbiting Nvidia and smaller startups orbiting the big tech planets.
You only need fraud to thrive in one corner of this system to create a cascading risk for them all.
I am writing on a longer piece on the current state of AI. But I want to discuss one thought of mine already. It was triggered by news like this one: https://www.the-independent.com/tech/mark-zuckerberg-ai-ceo-bot-b2943792.html **My personal theory is that AI is an attempt of the big tech CEOs to achieve some kind of immortality.** They know their bodies will eventually die. But they believe they are so brilliant, that humanity deserves them to persist in the form of a specifically trained AI that implements a bot persona of them. They will attempt to pass their fortune to this bot identity. This will take shape in the form of a foundation (which also saves tax).
