  • I loved writing essays and see the value for a student in knowing how to state a case and back it up with evidence, what counts as evidence, and the importance of clearly communicating the ideas.

    That said, I also use AI to write copy daily and the most important thing for anyone’s cognition is critical thinking and reading comprehension, both of which AI is going to teach us whether we want it or not. Critical analysis is the only way we can navigate the future.

    Maybe this is another Great Filter for technologically advancing critters?







  • This sounds like a scam.

    Earlier this year, in March, Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the government was working on developing an indigenous GPU over the next three to four years.

    The India-made GPU, being developed under the Rs 10,372 crore IndiaAI Mission, has so far received bids from 10 companies to procure and supply 18,693 GPUs against the target of 10,000 GPUs.

    An unnamed organization is taking orders for a GPU that was just announced as “being developed” with no demonstration or specs and has exceeded its initial goal of 10k units.

    India, you never change.




  • Things have changed. Before, the worst Facebook could do to its critics was ban them and those that they knew. Now Facebook can have ICE turnover your house without a warrant for a troll post. A private company is now working to suppress a specific kind of conversation that questions the judgement and actions of those in power. It’s a subtle but very dangerous difference in why a bad EULA may not have previously caused concern but the new one is.
