I think in general most of the problems with AI were already problems, AI just amplifies them!

Good start! Search, shifting information into different shapes (blobs into structured data), reframing information, and summarization. Translation also works great.

You can get very reliable results with some effort.

As for ethics, sadly all the big ones depend on datasets with stolen data. :(

I've been put on standby for my flight. They told me that I don't have a seat.

Pretty incredible that they charged me for it when they didn't have it to sell.

Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

NEW: Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids

Ooh I had no idea about FUTO. Just read up on their grant program shadiness.

Gboard still sends my voice typing to them though, and I'm trusting companies less and less about that - have a tip for another keyboard with good on device voice typing? (I'm sure I can search for it, just curious)

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

When it comes to inference for software engineering, the thing that interests me most is the opportunity for virtually all generated software in any remotely critical field to be formally specified and verified.

Google predicting how to turn our typing data into ad money 🫠

Google is using Gboard to test predictive text ideas and farm data, so is purpose as a useful tool has become secondary to that.

Delete Gboard.

Partner was typing "nugget" and Google corrected it to the n word. She *never* uses that word. Privacy was already a concern, but GBoard auto-suggesting slurs by default is completely unacceptable.

I've switched to an offline keyboard (FUTO), and my desire to degoogle has jumped.

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government

WATCH: Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE YouTube video by PBS NewsHour

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Someone asked me a few weeks ago why I was always smiling, and without thinking I just said "I'm lucky, my parents were really nice to me" 😅

Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

It's like a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen

Those mushrooms are so satisfying!

I am regretting all the times a single judge was on the ballot because now I'm worried they're all Federalist society creeps.

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

An image of three names repeated: Keith Porter, Renée Good, Alex Pretti with white text over the front: "say their names", punctuated by three white crosses. These people were shot and killed by ICE.

#abolishice #fuckice #saytheirnames

The United States is currently under a criminal white nationalist occupation.

I'm sorry for your loss
