The thing that frightens me about this isn't that kids aren't learning to write, per se. It's that learning how to write also teaches you how to think, and the downstream problems presented by a population who can't think are actually scary. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

¿Cómo sobrevivir a la mayor estafa tecnológica de los últimos tiempos? Pensar. Leer. Escribir. Dibujar. Dejar las pantallas, salir y convivir. La IA lograrÔ imponerse en nuestras vidas solamente si cedemos a la estupidización y al aislamiento.

Hard to square the breathless enthusiasm from pundit types about the inevitable need for fleets of data centers for AI with the fact that its main use case so far seems to be making growing numbers of people unable to read, write, think critically and relate to other human beings

Biology, not physics, holds the key to reality The biosphere is not a clockwork mechanism but a self-creating, unpredictable system. Organisms constantly repurpose their worlds in ways that cannot be foreseen or captured in a mathematical framework. iai.tv/articles/biolo…

LLMs haven't reached the level of autonomy so that they can be trusted with an entire profession, and it's already clear to everyone except for ignorant, deranged, or delusional people that they won't reach this level of autonomy. What remains is LLMs as a tool that humans use.

It’s more & more common in Silicon Valley to admit the aim is not just to automate some jobs - it’s to automate all of them. Whatever you think of AI’s capabilities, it’s worth asking whether we’re happy with so much capital going towards this goal. My piece in the Guardian

Gloomy insights into the mind of AI investors: "the money you can make in AI isn’t limited to the paltry market sizes of previous technology waves. You can replace the world’s workers - which means you can capture their salaries. All of them" Ed Newton-Rex theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Wowza! Take a look at this monster filament of plasma that just erupted off the Sun – gorgeous! The main eruption appears to be directed north, but modelling efforts will soon reveal if any part of it is heading towards Earth. #spaceweather #astronomy
