20-year-olds killing soldiers with drones from a bunker while vaping is uncomfortably cyberpunk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WipqeFgzdTc

Editing submissions for a small publication and the worst ones are the ones clearly written in part by LLMs.

They not only have no personality to them but you can see how the authors outsourced their thinking to these tools.

I know this is a bit unfair to do but I do blame a lot of the people that were pushing this dependency on tech platforms on news orgs and framing it as “the future of news” https://www.platformer.news/google-io-ai-search-sundar-pichai/

@alper agreed. But that would mean stepping away from the big symbolism of innovation towards doing actually use full stuff.

“It's really sad what has happened with the words ‘critical,’ ‘criticism,’ and their relatives in academic circles in recent years. At it's worst, it can seem like ‘critical’ means, ‘I like to sit in my bedroom and post lefty takes online.’” https://peoples-things.ghost.io/start-where-the-pain-is-notes-on-topic-selection-in-technology-studies/

The whole thing is part of a pre-print (hah!) I wrote for a essay collection for Springer Link on how innovation work has to engage with the infrastructure of a company. It‘s an exploration of a couple of ideas surrounding this notion https://johannesklingebiel.de/2024/02/06/power-and-feasibility.html

What the Middleton and Boeing whistleblower story actually tells us is that some people just loooooooove the idea of conspiracies.

@klingebeil@newsie.social avatar

@PaulGrahamRaven I mean yeah… that’s certainly part of why people are drawn to these ideas. But considering the biggest conspiracy nut is at the moment a certain car builder who’s certainly not powerless, there’s def more to it.

We‘re in the “AI is the answer but what was the question”-phase of hype

I wrote a small piece on the notable lack of real hype surrounding the Apple Vision Pro and the (in my opinion) possible reasons https://johannesklingebiel.de/2024/02/06/vision-pro-hype.html

@klingebeil@newsie.social avatar

@PaulGrahamRaven Thanks! And valid points. Though, and maybe that’s the people I tend to work with, I still regularly meet people who reference a somewhat singular (and tech-centric) future in these discussions.

“ChatGPT parent OpenAI has struck a deal with Axel Springer, parent to a slew of German and U.S. media outlets, to ‘help provide people with new ways to access quality, real-time news content through our AI tools’” https://www.axios.com/2023/12/13/openai-chatgpt-axel-springer-news-deal

@PaulGrahamRaven well that’s by far the most harmless part of AS.

Bild/Welt are both firmly on the right wing of the political spectrum. Politico got new editorial directions after its sale and joined Bild and Welt in attacking the current German government while cosying up to the conservative parties.

So… let’s just say this attempt at correcting "bias" will end up introducing even more into these systems.

I’ve seen the smartest minds of my generation pivot to doing workshops on synthetic voices and gpt prompts.

It’s depressing.

Everything else aside… I do wonder when we will see the first stylish hardware products with buttons and knobs to quickly interface with LLMs

I mean there has to be a Kickstarter full of brushed aluminium renders somewhere
