This is why writing in a business context is incredibly valuable.

I already made that point, but one of the best things about writing, and one of the main reasons I do it, is that it forces you to sort out your own thoughts about a topic. I've never written about anything without learning something new or changing my mind about something.

A "cognitive labor saving device" is something of a double-edged sword, hombre.

This is a problem of group think. Not unique to tech or SV, but certainly that's a hot spot right now. Tends to get ground out when reality asserts itself.

"Epistemic arrogance is baked in to the culture of Silicon Valley [. ] particularly striking about this arrogance at this moment, though, is the extent to which itโ€™s also baked into--and reinforced by--the L.L.M.-based chatbots now driving billions of dollars of investment."

Contrary opinion with good points about how these events are manipulated; but unfortunately the answer is "tokenization" so that's not useful. Still.

With $FIG we have another massive "POP" highlighting the gross inefficiency in the modern IPO process. It's very simple. They REFUSE to match supply/demand (that happened today). They brag about the mis-match - "30X oversubscribed." The outcome is expected & fully intentional.

When the user assumes "computer generates truth" you open the door to rapid cognitive degeneration. I unfortunately think this is going to be impossible to prevent as a technical matter.

I try to avoid irresponsible anthropomorphic marketing language when talking about AI, but "sycophantic" is a good adjective to describe most LLM chatbot. They are weighted to generate text that pleases the user.

The creator of ELIZA was so shocked at how people responded to his chatbot in the late 1960s he spent the rest of his career trying to warn the world about this danger.

Got quoted in this one. The Linux Foundation has unique credibility to bring all sides together in the WordPress rift.

The utility of "stastically generate what sounds like a correct answer" is real, but not the world bestriding Colossus on which current valuations are based. Interesting times ahead.

It's actually more than that. The original (on YT) has so much more depth in the sound. Whatever's on Spotify was remastered into the lifeless tone-range of elevator music. This is a crime!.

Apple's loss in court is immediately opening up a whole new world for app developers. Entire business models were impossible under the old 30% regime. Look at this beautifully simply flow from Stripe! IAP might still have a place, but for many, taking payments on the web is ๐Ÿ‘Œ.
