- Comment on Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed 1 week ago:
Because how to use it is baked into what it is. Like many big tech products, it’s not just a tool but also a philosophy. To use it is also to see the world through its (digital) eyes.
- Comment on The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis 1 week ago:
Yall are sayin stuff like “learn about” and “detect” as if they got to just add that to their notes and continue on their day.
Going from “might develop schizophrenia some day” to “inpatient for an episode right now” is a big difference.

This same “automatic BS” is helping discover life-saving drugs, diagnosing cancers earlier than some doctors
Not the same kind of AI. At all. Generative AI vendors love this motte-and-bailey.
- Comment on The World Will Enter a 15-Year AI Dystopia in 2027, Former Google Exec Says 2 weeks ago:
AGI doomers, yes.
I wouldn’t reject the label “AI Doomer”, myself. But I don’t have a strong position on utopia/dystopia when it comes to AGI.
Mostly because I think it’s so far away, that there’s a real good chance that we bet the farm on something much, much dumber than AGI.
Like a fancy autocomplete.
And hook it up to something unforgivably dangerous.
Like nukes.

I agree, and I think your points line up with Doctorow’s other writing on the subject. It’s just hard to cover everything in one short essay.
- Comment on AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified 2 weeks ago:
They don’t want copyright power to expand further. And I agree with them, despite hating AI vendors with a passion.

- Comment on Transgender, nonbinary and disabled people more likely to view AI negatively, study shows 2 weeks ago:
These findings are consistent with a growing body of research showing how AI systems often misclassify, perpetuate discrimination toward or otherwise harmtrans and disabled people. In particular, identities that defy categorization clash with AI systems that are inherently designed to reduce complexity into rigid categories. In doing so, AI systems simplify identities and can replicate and reinforce bias and discrimination – and people notice.
Makes sense.
These systems exist to sand off the rough edges of real life artifacts and interactions, and these are people who’ve spent their whole lives being treated like an imperfection that just needs to be smoothed out.
Why would you not be wary?
- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 2 weeks ago:
Low humidity. Good for longevity of electronics, and makes the evaporative cooling more efficient. So it’s a matter of the benefits of that vs. the cost of the added heat.

- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 2 weeks ago:
I set up a PiHole for my Hisense TV.
Thought maybe I didn’t do it right or their ad-delivery was too sneaky, cuz the home screen still defaults to full-screen promos for shows I’ve never watched. Oh well, leave it how it is.
Disabled the PiHole for a couple days to test something else.
Holy shit, banner ads everywhere on the TV.
