I may have solved a long standing problem with Object Oriented systems https://lobste.rs/s/yk91rd #ai #compsci #programming

Reinforcement Learning is AI for playing games, planning actions, and doing things in the real world. It's extremely powerful, but also a fun and interesting topic to learn. I'm teaching myself now.
I was always intimidated by all the esoteric jargon and math in RL. The classic Sutton and Barto text clears that up nicely, though. It's one of the best text books I have ever studied, and it reveals RL is much less complex than it sounds.
I think the excessive mathiness comes from the question "is this policy optimal?" which is a natural place to start, and has been fruitful for the field.
Except, in practice it's rare we can find optimal policies for practical problems. Also, our mathematical formalisms often don't fit, which is why there are so many variations based on what information is available, and what you want to focus on. This produces the tangled mess of names and notations, but really it's just the same idea from subtly different angles.
A best-selling Vancouver author has launched a class-action lawsuit against Nvidia, claiming the multi-trillion dollar tech company illegally used his and other Canadian writers' works to train artificial intelligence large language models (LLM). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-author-leads-class-actions-against-ai-giants-1.7595962
J.B. MacKinnon is named as the representative plaintiff in the claim, which says his books, The 100-Mile Diet and The Once and Future World, were part of a 196,640-book dataset that Nvidia used without paying a licensing fee or securing consent to acquire or use the works. #cdnpoli #copyright #AI

A startup called #Satyress #Robotics (🤔) has built a disaster response/ search and rescue #robot that's a 2 meter tall #centaur
So I've been lost in the woods for two weeks. I'm feverish from the untreated water I drank and delirious because I've eaten very little
Then I see fucking #Terminator #Baphomet walk up on me
😵💫
I don't think I'm being rescued
I think I've passed to the other side and I'm going to technohell- I'm being punished for being grumpy about #AI

If cops spoke like AI developers and AI users,
It wasn't me that shot you or my gun. It was a bullet with misalligned objectives.
This is a far better response than the one I was going to make about Corey using an LLM. Acting ethically in an imperfect world https://tante.cc/2026/02/20/acting-ethical-in-an-imperfect-world/ #AI #AIHype #LLM
I disagree with this update. Here is the follow up to the article I shared yesterday. Personally I think it’s OK if everybody is feeling a little bit emotional about their hero willingly using a technology that is rooted in a lot of all kinds of systemic oppression. To me, I hate this need for every figure people look up to to be perfect, but I do not expect anybody I actively promote to turn on a dime when it’s convenient for them. Anybody that calls this emotional response purity anything is missing the point. The point is about being frustrated because people appear to stop caring.

The #US gov classified #Anthropic as a "threat to national security" because they didn't want to chance their policy to allow
- Mass surveillance
- Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems
Don't get me wrong, I have no love for #AI (#LLM) but this is how #CORRUPT the US government is
The gov are the ones who are a threat to national security 🇺🇸

#ai, the Terminator, my periodic revisiting of Terry Winograd Breaking the complexity barrier (again). Absolutely no lisp code. #article #engineering
I revisit how Winograd was resisting exactly the current sloppy epoch (in 1972) and chatbot atrophy
@pluralistic
originally you were incidental to this article
which turned out to mostly be incidental commentary in the vein of your

I would be interested if you cared to venture an opinion.

No matter how esoteric AI literature has become, and no matter how thoroughly the intellectual origins of AI's technical methods have been forgotten, the technical work of AI has nonetheless been engaged in an effort to domesticate the Cartesian soul into a technical order in which it does not belong. The problem is not that the individual operations of Cartesian reason cannot be mechanized (they can be) but that the role assigned to the soul in the larger architecture of cognition is untenable. This incompatibility has shown itself up in a pervasive and ever more clear pattern of technical frustrations. The difficulty can be shoved into one area or another through programmers' choices about architectures and representation schemes, but it cannot be made to go away.From Phil Agre's 1995 article The Soul Gained And Lost.
If one were to continue the genealogy in this article from 1995 to present, one would find many of the same issues inherent in Cartesian dualism present in large language models. Like the STRIPS system Agre surveys, LLMs also generate sequences. They also must make choices among many available options at each step of sequence generation. They also use heuristics to guide this process that would otherwise explode intractably. The heuristics, or what Agre dubs "determining tendency", are random number generators and "guardrails" in LLMs instead of the tree-structured search of previous-generation AI systems. But otherwise the systems are structured similarly.
It's fascinating, but not coincidental, that the determining tendency of AI systems like these is so often perceived to have mystical or even God-like qualities. Breathless predictions about the endless potential of tree-structured search in early writing on GOFAI resembles modern proclamations of imminent AGI or superintelligence among generative AI boosters because both of these mechanisms---tree search or random number generation---are situated where the Cartesian soul would be. These mysterious determining tendencies, homunculuses of last resort, or souls are timeless, acausal factors that choose a single path from an infinite space of possibilities, and thereby direct the encompassing agent's behavior in an intelligent manner.
This is one reason why I posted the other day that if you removed the random number generation from LLMs, the illusion of their intelligence would more than likely quickly evaporate. You'd be excising their soul, leaving behind a zombie!

“Can a chatbot be a co-author? AI helps crack a long-stalled gluon amplitude proof”
We don't ask if spreadsheets or other programs can be co-authors.
We are allowing AI™ vendors to twist our language for their marketing campaign to get us to accept their software as people.

Last month, job boards for actors were flooded with ads looking for people to record “conversations, character voices, and natural speech to help train AI systems," for a project by Microsoft. Payment was orders of magnitude more than a normal acting gig — up to $80,000, where a national ad campaign for a big brand might ordinarily pay $6,000. @404mediaco's Rosie Thomas spoke to voice actors about the "Faustian bargain" of accepting such roles. "You're still taking away tomorrow's meal because they're offering you a little bit more,” says Katie Clark Gray.

So Duo (the multifactor authentication service that #infosec loves) has integrated with Persona (the privacy destroying, Peter Thiel backed, AI-linked, facial scanning and mapping "identity verification" software)
You know the recent Discord snafu that received such massive pushback and caused so many people to leave Discord that they've dropped their identity verification?
Yeah, that Persona.
Duo integrates it into Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and even Duo Essentials...
...which means many working class folks will have no option but to be enrolled into and use Persona...
...or be fired.
I've been increasingly concerned about the corporate monopoly over frontier LLMs. While many ethically-minded people choose to boycott these models, I believe passive resistance alone cannot break the structural grip of big tech. To truly “liberate” these technologies and turn them into public goods, we need to look beyond moral high grounds and engage with the material basis of AI—specifically compute, data, and the relations of production.
I've written two posts exploring this through the lens of historical materialism. The first piece analyzes why current “open source” definitions struggle with LLMs, and the second discusses what it means to “act materialistically” in our imperfect world. My goal is to suggest a path forward that moves from mere boycotting to a more proactive, structural socialization of AI infrastructure.
If you've been feeling uneasy about the AI landscape but aren't sure if boycotting is the final answer, I'd love for you to give these a read:
- Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them
- Acting materialistically in an imperfect world: LLMs as means of production and social relations

It would be deeply satisfying if it turned out to be true that Claude Code's source code was accidentally leaked in a Claude-Code-generated game intended as an April Fool's prank. Stacks upon stacks of April fools stretching back in time 70 years and culminating in this. 🤌

"AI is writing 90% of our code" sounds impressive before you realize that AI-generated code is orders of magnitude more verbose & less efficient than code written by a professional software engineer.
But "we ship 9 lines of fluff for each line of code that does something" doesn't sound as impressive.
