@foolishowl @fabiocosta0305 @raffitz @larsmb @b_rain The non sequitur analogies from people who have no understanding of any of this but want to be armchair experts is so frustrating.

"The language is crusty and has difficulties you wouldn't encounter using a different language" is completely a different problem from "you are gluing together massive amounts of utterly random stolen code with no clue what it does and taking it as a matter of faith that it will safely do what you wanted it to do".

The role of the university is to resist AI

@danmcquillan

“Critical thought is not something you can stochastically optimise, and I agree with Hannah Arendt that thoughtlessness is a precondition for fascism.”

“I want to conclude by emphasising that the proposition that the role of the university is to resist AI is not simply a defence of pedagogy, but an affirmation of the social importance of imagination.”
