This only matters if the answer is correct .

> Human workers also wreck these jobs horribly Yes, but with a human worker there is a chain of accountability. With AI, there is none.

Not really that strange if you think about it. The cheese is playing the same role that gold once played. It’s a relatively static asset of relatively assured value, which is exact…

There’s also something very organic about it. I had to keep reminding myself that it’s “just ice” and not a living being.

Unionization succeeds first and foremost when workers have significant leverage. That leverage is irrespective of how much workers get paid but is based on how critical those worke…

Interesting theory that maps onto lots of my recent experiences collaborating with people who rely heavily on AI when I don’t use it at all. In one case, a collaborator seems persi…

This shows that a lot of neologisms that people think of as ‘AI speak’ are often older and common terms but from an unfamiliar domain (like the corporate world or academia).

This is the most accurate take on AI I’ve ever read. The illusion of competency that AI conveys is especially frustrating because it keeps people who overly rely on it from actuall…

My school district is beginning to roll back on computer use for kids, after having gone all in on putting almost all student work on laptops (and heavily relying on learning apps)…

Huh. I first started listening to 538 in the run-up to the 2016 election and started really paying attention to them precisely because their 30% figure was so much higher than all …

I feel vindicated by this recent turn back to vanilla js (which I never left).

I spent months trying to decide if I really was going to pay for search. Then I did it (about 2 years ago) and haven’t looked back since. Totally worth it. It made me realize that …

AIs recommend what is most popular/well-known, which isn’t necessarily what is best. Both your description of AI sourcing and your AI-written comment demonstrate this point.
