Having Opinions about specific versions of LLMs feels a lot like Knowing Your IQ. Like, I understand that you believe it's important, but it's telling me much more about you than you think it is, and not in any kind of good way

When you hear a fantastical story about AI, you should ask yourself, "How does this serve the political project of AI?" Because, as others have pointed out, that's what AI really amounts to: a political project.

oh heavens no, I'd hate for the sundowning pedophile president with a 37% approval rating to become the face of the AI movement
Trump posts a poll on Truth Social because he doesn’t like the term artificial intelligence and wants to rebrand it as either Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, or Supreme Intelligence.

If you or someone in your house is not trans, the only thing you should ever think about trans kids is “How might I brighten their day should I come across one?” Beyond that, you’re a fucking weirdo who is extremely useful to nazis.
It’s really important to install an entire federal discrimination system so somebody’s cis daughter can finish 14th at her swim meet.

I'm fascinated by U.S. tech and business journalism because it doesn't adhere to literally any rules of actual journalism.
There's no effort to actually explain objective truth; they can't even so much as hint at the fact there's funny math here and the company isn't worth anything close to this

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.
