Today is my last day at Google. I joined as an intern almost 18 years ago, and it still feels like it was yesterday. I'm incredibly grateful that I got to work with so many amazing and talented folks, but I'm also excited to try something new. First step: a few months of travel and photography :)

A great thread explainer on how Gen AI tech works in layman’s terms and why it isn’t “learning” in the same way humans do

submitted 7 days ago • 0 comments

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

Знаете ли какво е това? Това е Куба след Испано-американската война. Колония. Прочетете го внимателно “Trump’s demand is iron-fist coercion by a neo-imperial power against a weaker nation with its back to the wall, and all for a commodity bonanza that exists chiefly in Trump’s head.”

Measles has a 12% mortality rate in unvaccinated young children. Children cannot be vaccinated until they are at least 12 months old. And if infants need to be kept home and out of daycare to avoid potentially fatal measles outbreaks... Guess who that removes from the workforce. (Women.)

The idea that you can encourage people to "voluntarily" move out of your way by turning their cities into rubble is easily recognized as a war crime when Russia does it. When Israel does it academics launder the atrocity with euphemism.

I think what made the AI bubble was that it had some economic characteristics that economists love. There seemed to be a barrier to entry because the initial investments were extremely high, and it seemed that it scaled with money not labor. Environmentally important: money == energy in this context
