If you're ever in Stockholm, Pavel, I'd love to take you to the Vasa museum. 😊
Well nobody saw this coming.

My only relationship to kool-aid is the saying "drinking the kool-aid". So you can see how there are many cultural hurdles to jump over here.
The Swedish counterpart as far as I can tell would be BOB blandsaft with the black currants flavor. 😅
4 parts water to 1 part syrup.
I watched this and loved it but still don't understand anything.
@nigelfletcher.bsky.social: As if I couldn’t love him more, Ncuti Gatwa trying to explain Ribena to his American co-star is the joy we all need in the world today. You’re welcome.

The killer robots are not big metal monsters. The killer robots materialise as human-made web forms that deny access to care and wellbeing.

Some will argue that ChatGPT was not at fault in a teen suicide, "there were obviously many factors at play". But consider this: if you know you can design for better understanding, and add positive friction that helps people recognize when they are being misled by synthetic text, why wouldn't you?

For clarity: As was rightly pointed out to me on fedi, ChatGPT is software and is by definition not a responsible entity. At fault are the humans working at and managing OpenAI. While the design of software can harm, the humans behind that design should be more clearly addressed.
Over the past decade I’ve truly been struggling with the idea of human-centric design.
Putting people first is a major contributor to the climate crisis.
These days, instead, I make an effort to use the term ’universal wellbeing’.

A hammer will not simulate sycophancy when unwell people express desires of self-harm. Claiming that ”AI” is just another neutral tool that can be used for good or bad is not only wrong and inhumane, it sanctions life-threatening risks.
If the product encourages a teen to hide self-inflicted strangulation marks, don't tell me "it's just a tool" and "they're using it wrong".

It's a complete mystery and mind-boggling to me that getting hold of Weizenbaum's book Computer Power and Human Reason is so hard. Given the hyped state of the world it should be all over.
I could become a conspiracy theorist for less.
Yes, I've read it. And dream of everyone in tech reading it.
"Concerns around 'AI psychosis,' attachment and mental health are already growing," he added. "Some people reportedly believe their AI is God, or a fictional character, or fall in love with it to the point of absolute distraction."

Thanks for the perspective Andy. My thoughts:
1) I fail to see how the way the computer is programmed has much in common with how a human is informed and inspired.
2) "Original sin" to me implies times long gone. It seems an imperfect metaphor when the sin is ongoing.
Sorry for the tardy reaction. It's been one of those weeks.

”Jag förstår att det ibland finns en vilja att utmåla det här att vara en fotbollsmatch där det finns två lag och att vi ska sitta och heja på något av lagen.” Vilken jävla syn på människor, som att detta vore grejen.

This is absolutely horrifying. I hate when I’m surprised by how far Facebook/Meta can go – I’ve read Careless People after all – but some of this content in an official document and guide is just extremely heartbreaking.
