Somehow this feels very weird
Even though it's with renewable energy, the problem is that is still uses that energy that could be used a lot better otherwise

I've been writing using em dashes since the 1990s. The reason AI uses em dashes is because it was trained on my writing, and that of countless other humans like me.
Hot take: Refusing to adapt to AI/LLM mirrors a lack of patience for autistic & neurodivergent persons. If you can't handle an AI, you can't handle a person. I'm talking communication & treatment, not Copyright. Refusing explicit context reveals bias.#AI #Autism #Neurodiversity #ActuallyAutistic

Some more info on that '#AI coded C compiler':
> Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 spends $20K trying to write a C compiler. AI agents build something that mostly works but worries the project's creator. https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2026/02/09/claude_opus_46_compiler/
Twenty grand? That's two months of developer time. So maybe a *little* cheaper than hiring a coder. But not hugely cheaper and that's just the AI costs. Humans were still in the loop.
And what if they had to pay for the training data? They *stole* that.

A first essential condition on the cognitive is that cognitive states must involve intrinsic, non-derived content. Strings of symbols on the printed page mean what they do in virtue of conventional associations between them and words of language. Numerals of various sorts represent the numbers they do in virtue of social agreements and practices. The representational capacity of orthography is in this way derived from the representational capacities of cognitive agents. By contrast, the cognitive states in normal cognitive agents do not derive their meanings from conventions or social practices.

I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞

Outlook not so good 🎱
Police tech doesn’t predict crime. It predicts policing.
Based on biased data, it brings more of the same – racist policing and poverty punishment.
Read our latest blog on why crime 'predicting' police tech must be BANNED ⬇️

I know everyone's LinkedIn is different, but my feed has been swamped with #MCP (model control protocol) conversation. While there is a role for #APIs in today's #AI agentic buzz, there's more to what's happening than meets the eye. I cut through the claims, and try to see the situation clearly in this, the 250th edition of Net API Notes:

A powerful story about how a writer lost confidence in his writing due to #AI, but eventually recovered.

I read this with interest…
"Billionaires think that they're the smartest people who've ever lived, because they're the wealthiest people who've ever lived. If they were wrong about anything, then why would they have been so financially successful? […] They believe that everything can be quantified, like a person's IQ, and that money is a good measure of how much someone is worth."

I keep seeing a lot of writers and youtubers still using #AI images to illustrate #solarpunk - even Aeon in their latest article did so.
Could I ask you to help spread https://storyseedlibrary.org/ around?
If you know a #sustainability / #climate creator who might want to talk about the movement, could you share the Library with them?

Merriam-Webster crowns “slop” word of the year as #AI content floods Internet
Like most tools, #generativeAI models can be misused. And when the misuse gets bad enough that a major #dictionary notices, you know it’s become a cultural phenomenon.

In the year of the city 2274, the remnants of human civilization live in a sealed city beneath a cluster of geodesic domes, a utopia run by computer. The citizens live a hedonistic lifestyle, but when they turn 30 must enter the "Carrousel", a public ritual that destroys their bodies, under the pretense they would be "Renewed" or reborn.

In the year of the city 2274, the colony of human beings on Mars live in a sealed city beneath a cluster of geodesic domes, a utopia run by generative AI. The citizens live a hedonistic lifestyle, but when they turn 30 must enter the "Cloud", a public ritual that destroys their bodies, under the pretense their consciousness would be uploaded to a computer and live forever.
The statement “why would I bother to read something someone couldn't be bothered to write?” almost perfectly captures so many peoples’ feelings about #AI.
And it evokes @pluralistic’s reminder that although AI probably can’t do your job, an AI salesman can probably convince your boss that it can.
In the end, this technology (or rather the market for this tech) is aimed squarely at its least noble use: cheapening and degrading human labor that doesn’t fit neatly into a balance sheet.
Good AI research should tell us something about life, or it should help people. I hate seeing research about automating what people do. It's not a good goal for science or society! I was recently reminded of this by a paper applying LLMs to math.
This domain has many good questions: what do we mean when we say a person "solves math problems"? What are they actually doing? How is this like or not like what an LLM does? How might mathematicians benefit from this?
Instead, we get papers that pit an LLM against a human on a math problems dataset. This is great for claiming "AI has superhuman math abilities now!", but it's debatable whether good answers in a test-taking environment have anything to do with logic, reasoning, or creative problem solving. Instead of exploring to what extent LLMs are "really intelligent" vs. "stochastic parrots" (and perhaps the same question for humans), it reduces everything down to a number, one that hides the deeper problem and seems far more definitive than it is.
