Maybe this is a bad analogy, but seem like trying to treat an illness by writing the name of a medication on a sheet of paper, not a prescription for said medication, just the name of the one that would work.
It almost seems like they think a process is independent of its physical context.
If you are ever feeling lonely, just stop by a car sales website and ask for info on a car. You'll gain a dozen new friends instantly. They just may never leave you alone.

I can't. 😢
- Combining Psychology with Artificial Intelligence: What could possibly go wrong?
- Critical Artificial Intelligence Literacy for Psychologists
- Generative AI Should Not Replace Thinking at My University
If either of you have a Kofi, I'll gladly buy you both a coffee. (A token of gratitude)
Here's the list of papers I'm linking
- What Does 'Human-Centred AI' Mean?
- Deskilling and upskilling with generative AI systems
- Towards Critical Artificial Intelligence Literacies
- Debunking AGI inevitability claims
- Reclaiming AI as a theoretical tool for cognitive science

Absolutely! This specific section will help me communicate how little has changed for the rhetoric.
And I owe you, Olivia Guest, and your colleagues a huge debt of gratitude for doing all the hard work. Until now I've just been a loud mouth on the internet about it. 😅
Thanks! You rock!
@irisvanrooij.bsky.social tomorrow I'm meeting with someone (an investment advisor in Portugal). He wants my opinions on AI. May I pester you for a link, if you have one handy?
I'm looking for a quick overview of the limitations that all/most neural nets share. (For additional reading for him)
Advice for @erc.europa.eu :
Prohibit the use of LLMs for grant writing. Let applicants sign a declaration that they have not used such systems and that the text is written by them and them alone.
This is just a normal schnauzer post-haircut experience hahaha from the embodied definition of "disheveled" to crispy clean cut. Every time. 😆
It was the only right answer. 😁
Today I'm organizing my notes and thoughts about the matter. I'm basically referencing their papers.
And as always, I'm being wordy AF. I'll probably try paring my thoughts down tomorrow to their bare essence.
And I'm sure he'll ask for assessment strategies. No clue what to say there, yet.

So, someone I know elsewhere online, is in Portugal and advises people on investments. He saw that I have strong opinions on AI. He wants to pick my brain on Wednesday.
In my dream world I'd have Olivia Guest or or Iris van Rooij as experts on the call.
(They're too busy, I won't ask 'em)

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Here are some photos I cleaned up and cropped. I took these this morning. The dog is the local "cute tax" collector. He's an 8 month old chow named Leo.

Hobbits are a very friendly sort! I can see the appeal.
They seem like a nice group.
That's more or less what I've fumbled my way to doing through decades of... well... fumbling.
I know it's not an exact formula or algorithm. But hardly anything in this brain is, despite being a computer programmer. 😆😅
5/5
For things whose personal value is unknown/unassessed and which have no actual due date. I usually just leave those as background things that I get to, when I get to.
For those I don't want as those background tasks, I invent an arbitrary due date. I adjust these as needed.
4/
If I have a lot of energy, and I know its "personal value" I'll use that to determine if I work ahead (i.e. not a lot due "soon" and there's more than enough time, so higher personal value items can be done sooner regardless of due date, as they're more enjoyable/rewarding)
3/
The reason for lower effort first is that at least I'm more likely to finish those before getting interrupted/distracted.
If I genuinely don't have the energy for anything, I put off all but critical+due soon.
2/
It varies based on my available energy. Assuming I can't actually asses relative "worth" as a priority:
I start with "due date" and expected effort targeting those due soonest first, taking on lower effort first (all other things being equal/unassessed)
1/5
Ouch. Been there. Done that. Doing that. Send help! 😜 (only after you've gotten your stuff prioritized tho! And preferably in the form of a St Bernard with a vintage whiskey)
This is the issue with theoretical work these days. Data isn't collected as means unto itself unless we've lost the point of experiment & observation. Without explicit theory to house data it's meaningless. Duhem-Quine, underdetermination of theory of by data is lost on people.

UK peeps, have a gander at this. Be aware that a lot of the questions are loaded toward presupposing that online age verification is already a good thing, so be careful how you answer them.
