I hadn’t seen this article yet about the hardware economics underpinning the LLM hype, but it’s really pretty good https://gauthierroussilhe.com/en/articles/how-to-use-computing-power-faster

Yep. My memory is propped up by a tweet back then that my (now deleted) tweeter account must have retweeted. Oral history is all we get in this glorious world where data is so vigorously duplicated

I’m pretty sure the term was used by Gamergate harassers back in 2014 already. Fits the whole “this was a rehearsal for the real thing” framing too.

There’s not a whole lot of clear info out there but it looks like the Tesla “dog mode” (the feature you’re supposed to rely on when you leave a dog in the car so the dog doesn’t overheat and die) is prone to failure and has recently killed a dog.

That’s certainly true, but the register has had a mean-spirited and anti-intellectual bent for much longer than that. They’ve been doing shitty journalism since you could still buy independent local newspapers on paper.

That what they’ve been doing is mainstream now is only even more disappointing.

You don’t say, the register, taking journalistic integrity less than serious? (Hi, it’s me, a person who has been annoyed by their editorial choices for more than two decades now)

I think you’re misreading the intent behind “give your virtual coworker OKRs”: this allows you to punish the robot, which it deserves.

Ice cream head of artificial intelligence

lol, lmao: as if any cloud service had any intention at all of actually deleting data instead of tombstoning it for arbitrary lengths of time. (And that’s the least stupid factor in this whole scheme; is this satire? Nobody seems to be able to tell me)
