Pew gets it. Post Office doesn’t.
Pew continues to get things right. In this article they discuss the new idiocy of pollsters polling chatbots. Obviously Pew isn’t playing that game. A more subtle problem is people using chatbots to make money by taking polls in huge quantities with fake URLs. I wouldn’t know how to solve this. Is Pew susceptible? =…

Other way around
Chatbots are honeytraps. They give respect and affection to starved people in return for cult loyalty. Some activists are calling this loyalty “AI psychosis”. Nope, got it backwards. We don’t need to cure the trapped man, we need to cure the environment that enables the trap. Our culture and economy have been intentionally depriving men…

Altman’s little suckers
People are asking whether AI systems will be able to design themselves by next year. Will that be The Singularity? Should we head for the bunkers? No. Programs have been writing other programs since 1960. Creating a function to do a job, running the function, then deleting it from memory. Object-oriented programming like C++ is…

“Astonishingly prolific”
I’ve been watching the NON-war between human creators and the Altman demons. As an author who deals with a publisher, I have a literal vested interest in the matter. This article includes one dramatic illustration of the enemy’s overwhelming power. The article describes “astonishingly productive” fake historians generated by Amazon’s demonic machine. = = =…

Tab-ulation
This item was spawned by thinking about Tabs, Tabulations and Tables. I’m leading toward a specific point, but first need to spit out some Graphic Juice that I’ve been holding during this long unimaginative ADA work. = = = = = For several months I’ve been making and testing courseware blind-style, using only the keyboard.…

Show, don’t tell.
If you want to sell a product or a religion you have to SHOW the product, not just tell us to buy it. Churches quote the New Testament and then viciously reject lonely and poor people. In 2020 the Democrats talked “resistance” and then lethally assisted Trump’s torture chamber, continuing it for two years after…

Just fucking dumb
One of the AI defenders on substack is playing Altman’s game by planting doubt and confusion in our minds. If we believe this crap we’ll be less inclined to BLAME THE MAKER OF THE TOOL. = = = = = START IDIOCY: When an AI agent causes harm, who’s responsible? The developer, the deployer, the…

Aunt Rose in tech
Social platforms always introduce new crap at the start of the month, fulfilling their Prime Psychopath Directive: MOVE FAST AND BREAK THINGS. Never let the customer USE the service, always force the customer to spend time and attention on readjusting. Facebook’s menstruation for February is a question-asking bot. At the moment the bot’s comments are…

What “democratize” means
A 1960s training film, aimed at store clerks, says “To the criminally inclined, free enterprise means freedom to take anything without paying for it.” Nothing has changed. To the criminally inclined, democratize means trillionaires are free to take anything without paying for it. Via NiemanLab, several publishers have blocked Archive.org from scraping their material. They’ve…

They should be worrying
The big tech companies who are rushing to replace their employees with Altman’s Holy Spirit should be worrying more about plain old computers instead of AI. I’m seeing a trend toward basic errors of the type that computers formerly ELIMINATED, not ENHANCED. A week ago CenturyLink sent me a notice that my service was cancelled.…

Dammit, it’s not the output.
Online folks are obsessed with the wrong end of AI. They worry that the supposed Chatbot prose style is taking over, and they bash and block people who “sound like AI”. This is classic witch hunting, and unquestionably helps Altman. Now his coders can just change the style to sound “creative”, whatever the hell that…

Constants and variables on libel
Quick take… A fairly obscure Canadian musician named Ashley MacIsaac lost money, and will likely lose a lot more, because Google’s explainer AI told people that he was a sex offender. Apparently there is a known sex offender with the same name. Constants and variables show that AI itself isn’t the main factor here. Constant:…

More silliness
Continuing the Not New theme. Silly people constantly misunderstand the origin of the web. The origin was not mysterious or secret. It was started by Deepstate for its own purposes. It didn’t suddenly switch from a grand festival of freedom to a surveillance monster when Trump was elected. Like every data web, it was meant…

Simple cure
The AI missionaries are doing a great job, drawing people in with respect and courtesy. Apparently the bot itself does an even better job, though I haven’t tried it and won’t try it. Predictably the anti-AI people are missing the bet again. The same thing happened 20 years ago with pornography, and the same thing…
