That is entirely the wrong headed (giggity) approach, IMHO.

A big part of man(person)-machine interface is the control and responsibility remaining in human hands.

Not so long ago, the few of us geeks who foresaw where machine brains would take us, campaigned in #stopkillerrobots.
A campaign to keep human decision making in military #killchain
A campaign that failed spectacularly, in no small part, I am sure to uniformed Doctorow analogues dismissing it as unnecessary farsical puppetry.

Even now, I actively strive to #regulateAI IRL and human decision making is essential and imperative in AI.
The "reverse centaur" is a canard, as much as a driver of a motorcar is not pulling the cargo by their muscle.

AI is not going away for the same reason we don't see "Picks and shovels" (!) digging infrastructure trenches anymore. Machines have been eating jobs since the 1700s and it's only scary now because the white collars are on the chopping block.

I have huge respect for @pluralistic and his role, which he fulfills admirably is an activist, a what we call in Australia, a shitstirer. His opinions stimulate debate, but keeping an expert in the decision chain, if it's only a tick box is a good thing.

Call it a "moral crumple zone" if you will.
Removing it all together is bad and I am disturbed anyone would try to make hay of this.
The alternative is full automation and I am sure all the #AI "fans" would agree it's a bad thing.

@drrimmer

Not Liberal
Not Labor, want to pass any meaningful #AI legislation in Australia.
Only the #greens have a framework in place, including Indiginous recognition in AI.

#OpenAI has a skills implementation, specifically oriented towards execution of task in a professional, actual work flow...

...using that subsystem, to me, looks too much like management asking you to train the visa intern before they fire you.

I have huge respect for Doctorow and in this thesis he makes some poignant points. I've recently seen his 38C3 presentation and sent it to many of my associates.

Doctorow has huge following amongst the anti-AI demo (people who never have used AI properly, and never will).
All that Doctorow has to do is point at a model, say HaHa, and there will be a rhythmic head nodding.

However, for people who have a passing familiarity with the #AI praxis. Credibility is important making a statement like;

Doctorow: 'Software engineering requires a very wide "context window," the thing that AI does not, and cannot have. AI has a very narrow and shallow context window'

Current frontier models have 1 to 2mil tokens with one model at 10mil.
Knuth's trilogy comes just over 1m.

There is a wiggle room on both sides of the thesis, but since we are grossly simplifying for the masses already...

Doctorow is very good at passionately making claims that ring true with many folks. He is a worthy champion for the cause.

But for his words to hit where they need to hit the most, with the acolytes of the machine, they don't just need to ring true, but BE true.

The Luddites don't need convincing AI Bad. The users do.
Or more to the point, the politicians do.

Epistemia: A front end onto an LLM to evaluate output veracity/guardrails

Personally, Unlikely techbros will put another compute heavy mod onto their stochastic engines, but an interesting read nonetheless, esp vis-a-vis identifying human #epistemology "fault lines"

An AI response without a prompt has no meaning and is worthless.
Some legal precedents will surely be set.

#RegulateAI

@koantig @mensrea @elena @jwildeboer

Every time someone posts "Hahaha stoopid AI" and posts a prompt.
95% of the time, I can get a response that is of a much higher quality.

The main issue is, upon analysis;

a) Majority of newcomers to the tech don't understand how it works and don't have experience in using the tech. Chicken and the egg.

b) Pretty much EVERYONE new to AI use the free version, which is dumber especially during high demand times as the compute gets prioritised to paying customers.

c) You are not going to get meaningful use of tech if you hate hate hate. Any tech.

So yes, using AI us a learned skill.

Yes, yes I am delusional, thinking that I may guide some off the folk through the tech wilderness just as I had thru 45 years of my past professional life.

I totally get that HAAATE against #AI...
I have gone through it myself, back in 2023.
Back when people ridiculed me when I was warning against the devastation of AI...
...I had gone through the #AIAnxiety myself
But instead of posting angry memes I actually chose to do something meaningful.
I engaged with my politicians.
Still am, working with my political party for meaningful AI/#LLM regulation.

Happy to talk about it to anyone that cares.

As I maintain, using #AI is a learned skill
If you HATE the tech, your opinion is going to be as credible as any other haters, not very credible.

Second sign the essay lacks (IMHO) credibility, is the notion that AI atrophies cognition.
The paper that gets quoted most often in support of this thesis is written by a Media professor, its a preprint and lack actual data values.
I postulate that AI gear-shifts up human cognitive abilities, removing the pedestrian component of it, just as typewriters, calculators and computers before removed the shackles of rote.
Here is my analog;

Third, AI did not appear overnight, it was the excreta at the long chain of big data and copyright violations over decades. Some of the most ardent antagonists of AI have no problems feeding the Moloch with their own use of Corporate email, Socials and even device keyboards (all feeding the AI training data)

Lastly, there is plenty to criticise about AI.
But most folks lack credibility to do it in a meaningful way as they do not use or follow the tech.

My solution is to #regulateAI but mostly I see memes and anxious anger.

2/2

@ZoidbergForPresident @fay

a) No a techbro, you got both the gender and the affiliation wrong you rude person.
b) Every word you type on your prayer tablets, goes to the, as you call them, techbros to train the models, or sell the training data.
c) Look, a rude ignoramus. Laugh at him hahaha 🙄
Schools out?

There already is a "solution" to #genAI art.

Its simple.
You want ©️, it has to be created by a human.
If it's created by a machine, no copyright.
Hence if Corpos want to keep control and monetise their art. They need to retain a human artist.
Win-win.

Just need to propagate this to other jurisdictions.

Tell Congress: REJECT efforts to steamroll local regulations to promote unchecked AI data center expansion.

The Trump administration is pushing dangerous provisions that would allow Big Tech to expand its AI data centers, overriding local and state regulations that protect communities.  

Data centers pose significant health and safety risks to nearby communities, and rely on fossil fuels such as coal, the largest contributor to climate change.

#GenAiMil uses Gemini 2.5 not the latest 3.0 which is only 3 weeks old. Nevertheless, it excels at reasoning tasks (ranked #1) Its got a context window of 1 million tokens, which means one can feed a sizable document into it.

There is a joke here about reasoning #AI in an unreasoning administration, except there us a reason here, one which most Americans are unable to acknowledge. Destruction of the American state.

The good news us it's for level IL5 (Sensitive but unclassified) information, which means this clownshow is about to start feeding a whole bunch of classified content into it.
I'm looking forward to reading future #infosec breaches post mortems.

Also, remember the #Google now abandoned motto "Do no evil"? How much does evil cost?
$200 million dollars (June contract).
I vaguely remember a whole bunch of Google employees quitting.

Finally, do remember that there is absolutely no regulations WHATSOEVER controlling this tech.
This is nuclear power without safeties.
Car design without seatbelts and crumplezones
and
Food additives with no regulation.
In fact trump "administration" actively threatened states that tried to make houses about #regulateai

Channel your anger into activism.
The only effective way to control AI is to #regulateAI

Angry social posts are satisfying but do nothing to address the issue.
