I think we are really underestimating the genuine danger that is being created by using AI code in such an unrestricted and unmanageable way. I've heard recently that one hyperscaler is allowing non-coders to ship actual code (with engineers "overseeing"), seems very dangerous

"A rogue AI agent recently triggered a major security alert at Meta Platforms, by taking action without approval that led to the exposure of sensitive company and user data to Meta employees who didn’t have authorization to access the data." @jyoti_mann1 theinformation.com/articles/insid…

Three years into the AI era, educators say they face a crisis. Bosses and clients replacing tutoring jobs with AI. Replacing *athletic coaching* with AI. Teachers with students who can't grasp why they shouldn't use AI to generate homework. And worse.

The premise of this test is incredibly dumb. LLM has always done passable pastiche, since it landed in 2022. Where it begins to fall apart is any writing over 2 or 3 pages because it has no nuance, narrative structure, rhythm, or characterization. More parlor tricks for midwits.

We made a blind taste test to see whether NYT readers prefer human writing or AI writing. 86,000 people have taken it so far, and the results are fascinating. Overall, 54% of quiz-takers prefer AI. A real moment! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

There is no "Claude" there is only the will of the people who own and operate it. All AI just exists to outsource the preferences, decisions and choices of a small group of people to a vaguely defined "tool" that can sold as some kind of perfectly objective third party.

WSJ reporting that the U.S. used Claude for the air strikes in Iran. Report says Centcom has been using Claude "for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios"

Yesterday, I got Waymo to admit they are using people 8000 miles away in the Philippines tohelp guide their self-driving cars in the U.S.
This should scare us all. It must end.

Chief Safety Officer at Waymo says the company employs remote vehicle operators in the Philippines. 🤯

You're unlikely to find a harder-working editor in this business than Vadim, whose writing/criticism displays his authoritative knowledge of all things in the U.S. indie film, festival, and financing ecosystems but might not reflect his Herculean abilities as a manager and admin.

Some news: I'm being laid off! After 11+ years and 48 issues, Friday will be my last day. I'm 100% looking for work and definitely not married to being in film. I have many transferable corporate/organizational skills. Email in bio.

Tomorrow is my (Scott’s) last day at Filmmaker, and it’s also the last day for our estimable director of editorial operations @vrizov, who has been a valued partner for 11 of my 33 years. Here, he curates some of his best work that we’ve had the privilege of publishing.

“To watch the movie today, after it languished six decades in obscurity, feels akin to breaking the seal on a long-buried time capsule.”

Silicon Valley wants to make cities more efficient by taking away anything that makes them enjoyable.

“Whatever pity I felt for the struggling robot was abstracted empathy for the actual person somewhere—maybe Finland, maybe the Philippines—who had to have been navigating it out of distress.”

fwiw I have no idea how to find deep cuts anymore without cutout bins in stores that sell physical media. Files and metadata don’t glimmer with the same potential for me

Still wild to me, as a person once obsessed both movies in 2004 (Come & See, bc JG Ballard mentioned it in an interview, Possession as the b-side to a random Bava on DVD I found in a Barnes & Noble cutout bin), that both have taken off the same way
kyle@Caol_MacCormaic
uncs of film twitter: what are some movies that are canonical now but were basically unknown when we were coming up? like Come and See or Possession. inversely: what are some movies or filmmakers that seem to have fallen off? (Takashi Miike comes to mind)
