"We are building robots to replace all of your jobs, which we will own, but it won't replace my job," said the VC.

Are these the good guys?

Academia isn’t perfect, but it offers a rare space to pursue knowledge for its own sake. If research were fully privatized, only profit-driven questions would get asked. Yet many of the most transformative discoveries began as curiosity-driven inquiries whose value wasn’t clear for years.

This is high art

Also never forget that:

We believe you can do it
We believe you know what to do
We know you are intelligent
We know you always will strive to do better
We know you are committed to make it happen
Never QUIT!
We are all so PROUD OF YOU

A thread on “persuasion” and bias in AI models that’s worth your time

Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping? We would rather talk about literally everything else.

I thought this article was interesting on plummeting male college enrollment; argues that men flee college as women enter. Reminds me of @histoftech.bsky.social's work on the changing value of computer work thru masculinization

Don’t use AI to summarize documents — it’s worse than humans in every way The main use case for LLMs is writing text nobody wanted to read. The other use case is summarizing text nobody wanted to read. Except they don’t do that either. The Australian Securities and…

“What went wrong? LLMs don’t summarize text — they just shorten it. That’s a subtle difference, but it’s key.”

@davidgerard.co.uk has explained why LLMs do this over and over if anyone spruiking this stuff wants to actually listen for a change.

The consumer way of looking at AI is the most dangerous perspective. Not only do we become dependent on it, but we are less critical of the ways AI is going to be used to control us argues Osama Manzar at #GVSummit2024

Practico-inertia Google recently released an generative model called Gemini but had to suspend its image-generation capabilities because of how it was programmed to address brand safety concerns.

"Generative AI is a tool of power masquerading as a tool of knowledge" said @hypervisible.bsky.social at the color of surveillance conference. 🧿

Back in my consulting days, my boss taught me a lesson that made a massive difference during meetings or conversations:

Don't push back, push forward.

In pushing back, you may not get anywhere.
When pushing forward, progress is the goal.
This fuels constructive, not destructive, dialogue.

If you want something thought-provoking — balance (as most people imagine) is also not the answer.

When people look at a bridge, they think that its strength is because it is balanced on pylons.

That’s not the case. The bridge stands because it is under immense tension.

Balance to most people…

Mmmm. Subscribed for more recipes!

Intel finalizes $7.9 billion in federal subsidies for scaled-back expansion The Biden administration is in the uncomfortable position of awarding subsidies to a company that's cutting jobs.

Intel got its $7.9B in CHIPS Act subsidies. The deal includes $1.9B for spending in Oregon.

The final agreement reflects Intel's delayed and scaled back expansion amid financial trouble.

It's unclear when, or if, the company will build the fourth phase of its D1X research factory in Hillsboro.

Great analogy for tech and life!
