I don't speak for my employer. Whatever I say about them or their products and services is exactly what I would say as a customer or industry observer.

we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter at all and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

@ns123abc Smuggling $2.5B of GPUs while personally holding $464M in stock. Greed is a hell of a drug.

Three Charged with Conspiring to Unlawfully Divert Cutting Edge U.S. Artificial Intelligence Technology to China “The indictment unsealed today details alleged efforts to evade U.S. export laws through false documents, staged dummy servers to mislead inspectors, and convoluted transshipment schemes, in order to obfuscate the true destination of restricted AI technology—China,” said John A. Eisenberg, Assistant Attorney General for National Security. “These chips are the product of American ingenuity, and NSD will continue to enforce our export-control laws to protect that advantage.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/three-c…

Candidly he has no business being in the Senate and is just another in a long line of politicians who put themselves over their country—something we also see in California, where the unwillingness of blue candidates to drop out of the gubernatorial race may lead to a GOP governor

I find it frustrating that none of these "guardians" of Linux and open source have reacted to the OS-level age verification law: - Linux Foundation - Open Source Initiative - Free Software Foundation - Software Freedom Conservancy

@AlmostMedia … in our lifetime. That's precisely the cohort most over-represented in such polls.

@AlmostMedia The phrase is almost synonymous with "first world problems." In this particular case, LLM responsive/generative AI is the technology which has suddenly posed the greatest risk to "knowledge workers" and professionals who are primarily qualified by some degree of expertise …

@sonyasupposedly Probably because the training corpus included lots of text from guys like me. Me and my — m-dashes! [Been using m—dashes since the platform providers started making them readily available for display rendering and input in "normal" text].

@jmkettle @theojaffee Rather than being "anti-AI" it's incumbent upon rational actors to assess the risks profiles of specific profiles of deployment and regulation of the technology (and other technologies more generally).

@jmkettle @theojaffee It's a luxury belief if it can be held without (apparent) mortal risk. Those who can afford to be "anti-AI" are those who don't believe that the status quo poses existential risks. LLM responsive/generative AI presents risks. But the status quo presents even greater risks.

@FixinYourUglies They engaged in performative pretense which was exactly as dishonest as Trump's "no more wars" rhetoric. It's absurd to discuss the pretenses as if they ever represented a whit of sincerity. Absurd and, ultimately, toxic!

@FixinYourUglies Anyone who voted that way in the privacy of the ballot box while claiming this was their justification was never inclined to vote for democracy and the preservation of our republic (much less for progress). The pretense served its purpose for them (publicly and for their egos).

Not to be a fucking bitch, but I do wonder how the “we can’t vote for Kamala because we support Gaza” crowd feels, knowing they helped elect Trump and helped ensure Israel killed more people around the world than originally expected.

@enemycharlie @BernieSanders It’s actually hilarious at this point. Like if Netanyahu was replaced by someone else, does all of the Israeli governments evil doings go away? lol

As we focus on Iran and Lebanon, let's not forget what’s happening in the West Bank. In one year, more than 36,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced and 240 were killed. There were over 1,700 attacks by Israeli settlers. We must end U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

@enemycharlie @BernieSanders Tone policing and picking at terminological nits with the most prominent and popular Jew in the U.S. Senate (and probably the most influential Jewish politician in U.S.) when he's supporting your opposition to Netanyahu's zionist crimes against humanity is counterproductive.
