A developer yesterday revealed to me them NOT using AI for a system feature, for quality reasons. They asked me not to tell their superiors(!)
This was the first time I came across someone resisting AI but feeling forced, for job security, into letting AI take the credit for their skillful work.
Olivia’s many nested threads are like a choose-your-own-adventure book with wonderful gifts of insight along every path.
If you want to better understand computational cognitive science and whatever ”AI” claims to be today, set aside time to follow, explore and – truly – choose your own adventure.
@olivia.science: One of the most upsetting things for people trained in formal computational theory, who are not AI boosters, to witness is how claims about the outputs of systems with no formal specification are taken as if they are indicative of formally linked capacities, such as the ability to add; see thread:

Jag har noterat välbehövliga diskussioner idag på både Bluesky och Fediversum om att våra makthavare fortfarande använder X.
Jag passar på att påminna om att riksdagens webb hänvisar till X(!) när den ligger nere.

This will make the rounds, so get the timeline right:
2021: Christopher Pelkey murdered by GB Horcasitas
2023: first trial, procedural problems
2025: retrial, victim’s sister made AI video of Pelkey for impact statement, shown to judge
2026: case thrown out due to AI video wrongly permitted
Family shows AI video of slain victim as an impact statement — possibly a legal first
Here’s a detailed account of how and why the sentencing was vacated.
”The panel […] focused on new statements, facial expressions and conduct created by AI and attributed directly to a victim who could no longer confirm them.”

My Sunday morning stream of consciousness. Not everything is a personal goal to be achieved. Aimless conversations with friends, aimless reading, aimless wandering, petting an animal. It is not the two hours, seven books, twelve kilometers, or seventeen strokes that matter.
Refusing to measure can be more important than assigning an arbitrary figure. We are human. When everything becomes a number, everything turns into a contest, a judgment and ranking. Everything can become a disappointment. Even things that should never be allowed to become a disappointment!
When we strip away numbers, we see affection, passion, curiosity, and tenderness. Never two cups of affection, seven spoonfuls of passion, twelve parts curiosity, and seventeen centimeters of tenderness. Just naked humanity. The very thing numbers do their best to conceal.
Don’t chase numbers. Explore what happens when they aren’t in control. When numbers don’t matter.

Brevet är felöversatt redan i RUBRIKEN och sedan i första meningen(!)
Vi kan såklart spekulera kring att "AI" användes i översättningen men det här en oroväckande brist på förmåga hos regeringens översättare. Översättningar av denna dignitet måste *minst* två personer gå igenom.
Rubriken!

Excellent, I've just started reading it.

I definitely agree, but if you're not familiar with the geography of Sweden and population density, "the north of Sweden" will likely make you think much higher up 😅
When trying to understand why Palantir CEO Alex Karp just bought 188km² of land in the north of Sweden, about 80% the size of Stockholm municipality, this cartoon provides an educated guess.
It's not AI that keeps these people occupied, though, it's finding a place to endure the climate crisis.

"North" of Sweden may be up for debate though, depending on your perspective, as Härjedalen is almost in the vertical middle of Sweden. Here is a pin showing where Härjedalen is, the province that Alex Karp, just bought a significant chunk of.
The local newspaper in Härjedalen was first to report on this. Part of how it came to their attention is that local hunting teams were being denied permits for hunting. One hunter interviewed has been hunting on the land for 55 years.
The deed specifies it will be used for forestry operations. 🤡

Galet skarp kommentar. Du som hörde det hörde det.
If only more criminals apologised. They would get invites to parliament, explain what they did and then get carte blanche to keep breaking the law. I mean, why not in fact keep paying them money to do it… imagine how much prison space it would free up.

"Our autonomous car ran down two people during our testing. We should've disclosed this earlier and handled it better. Perhaps we can come to parliament and explain how that happened? And maybe discuss why you should subsidise a downtown data center while we're at it?"
"Om bankbedrägerierna skulle öka med 100 miljoner på årsbasis, behöver bankerna bara stå för 10 miljoner kronor, vilket är mindre än vad ytterligare säkerhetsåtgärder kostar. Det är helt enkelt billigare för bankerna med mer bankbedrägerier än att lägga pengar på säkerhetsåtgärder."
