Every 10-20 years, a breakthrough technology promises non-developers to finally create software without needing to hire programmers. So far, every such technology resulted in the need for more devs… expert in this NEW technology (or knowing how to fix it up). Every. Time.

Really like @albertatech.bsky.social’s humor videos, but this latest serious one explaining what we don’t know about how LLMs at a tech level is a great example of what can help enable better AI criticism. (For example, LLMs are not “just better autocomplete”.) youtu.be/nMwiQE8Nsjc

And this is your regular reminder that in the UK authors do get royalties when you take their book out of the library or (in some cases) buy it used. Enjoy cheap books without guilt!

Excellent thread. For my last book, 'The Magic of an Irish Rainforest', I visited pieces of this potentially exquisite habitat across the island of Ireland, and invariably saw the same thing: slow death by overgrazing + invasive plants. As I've seen with my own place, it's SO easy to reverse this.

What is the fizzbuzz of detecting genAI use for fields outside programming? Like, in your field what very simple thing is a litmus test of "this person willingly set their time and money on fire by outsourcing their learning of fundamental things to a robot and are now only useful as meat"
