AI Lies

I was today years old when I found out LinkedIn has a chronological timeline mode*, and why LinkedIn recommends against enabling it in the settings. Because once you do, you’ll see that people aren’t talking about AI, agents and LLMs anywhere near as much as LinkedIn would have you think. My feed just went from ~90% AI hype to one with only the occasional post on the topic. Almost as if one of the companies most invested in the bubble would use a platform they own to inflate it.

(Could be that it’s an EU-only thing? I remember hearing about an EU requirement like this in the past. If so, I’m sorry if it’s not available to you. The free market will sort it out, I’m sure.)

A lot has been written about the terrible outcomes of social media on politics, children, etc. Overlooked might be LinkedIn and its effect on business & the economy.

This is poisoning the mind of business leaders and twisting the whole economy with it.

Using defaults, if you scroll it’s all AI, all the time. The most obviously uncritical takes on LLMs are shoved down your throat.

Guess what?

They have a pure linear timeline and it’s night and day. Almost no AI posts.

We are definitely winning the war with the Gorn but our allies MUST HELP us escort cargo vessels through the Omega 47 minefield. We don't need their help but we deserve their help. We've already won the war so it should only last 8-10 more weeks. #StarTrek #Sisko197
Re-reading "Neuromancer" and I'm struck how the protagonist wanting to get out of debt by selling 3MB of RAM went from being laughably dated to seeming actually plausible within recent months

The US super power suicide continues:

Today, the government of Denmark announced that Denmark along with 7 other EU nations is joining the French nuclear deterrence, which means Danish troops will take part in European nuclear exercises, and potentially, Danish F-35 fighter jets may be made capable of delivering French nuclear weapons.

The eight European nations joining the French nuclear deterrence are Germany, Poland, The Netherlands, Greece, Sweden, Belgium and Denmark.

Turns out, it is in fact a joke, though you have to go into the repo to find that out.

Well played 😂

digging through my phone for a picture and found this

If you come up with a new software license for the AI age, please do not call it AINAL.

No, this is not a joke, someone did this. Pffff.

Guillotines are becoming cheaper than RAM sticks. Crazy.
