Great thread on the massive pretzels the AI industry is twisting itself into to try to demonstrate it's economically viable — and the risks and dangers inherent in its program if it succeeds (which it probably won't)

And… Another One! Read on, especially if you’re worried about A.I. taking over the world (or more importantly, your job)

🚨INVESTIGATION: The Pentagon is sending its military officers to work directly at arms contractors, where they help those companies secure even more Pentagon contracts. The program coincides with a huge rise in Pentagon spending on private contractors. levernews.com/the-pentagons-…
And on AI in coding work, we've studied exactly some of the dynamics @doctorow considers in this thread! At scale teams wrestle immensely with the ways not just AI is changing things, but changes to *beliefs about what it means to be a developer* osf.io/preprints/psya…
Digital technology and social media tools were supposed to give us more control over our lives. Instead, we find ourselves manipulated, controlled, corralled and milked dry. Read an excerpt from @doctorow's 'THE INTERNET CON' published by @VersoBooks: canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
Shoutout to our awesome sponsor, @ckuw, the on-campus FM radio station at UW. Their support helps us host Cory @doctorow on May 2 for his public talk, “Escaping the Enshittocene: Why everything is terrible and what to do about it.” 4 tix=10% off: buff.ly/3xw8oAF #mbpoli
AI is really applied statistics which produce subtle errors that are the hardest to spot because they are the most statistically probable ways of being wrong. ‘Humans in the loop’ must detect the hardest-to-spot errors, at superhuman speed by @doctorow link.medium.com/AC1ntBW11Ib
The salt on the hurt is that you can't automate this vigilance. If you could, you wouldn't have the hallucinations in the first place. Case in point: In #GenAI, especially #LLMs, since rapid progress is happening in #RAG and now in Agentic #AI, the misses are becoming rarer. 😮💨
This is a selling point for AI. Companies love the idea of a worker that will lie with no qualms. Yet another shift of accountability and a perfect example of how "AI" is the logical end point of capitalism.

Socialists have hotly anticipated capitalism's end since at least 1848, when Marx and Engels published *The Communist Manifesto* - but the *Manifesto* also reminds us that capitalism constantly reinvents itself during crises, returning in new forms: nytimes.com/2022/10/31/boo… 1/

My new book is out. I hope you will take a look and be blessed in reading it. To God be the glory, great things He has done!
@newsstandpromos @doctorow Deregulation (which itself is driven by interested parties and their effective lobbyists) has meant this idea of free market capitalism CEOs love to tout doesn't really exist if there isn't a ~market~ to compete within but just one or two big players! The rich get richer🙃
Fun night - thanks, Cory and organizers!
In blocking @Microsoft's acquisition of @ATVI_AB, the @CMAgovUK made history: they stepped in to prevent a convicted monopolist from seizing control over a nascent, important market (cloud gaming), ignoring MS's transparent, self-serving lies: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/644939aa… 1/
@doctorow Amazingly lifelike.
The truth that Sacks & Co keep trying to reframe
There are no #libertarians in a bank run. No sooner had VCs whipped each other into a terrified Twitter frenzy at the collapse of #SVB - a collapse caused by that frenzy - than the #AynRand-poisoned elites started begging for Uncle Sucker for handouts: x.com/ericnewcomer/s… 1/
Let's talk about radiotrophic fungi. I want to start with the most surprising fact about them: they don't just SURVIVE in high radiation environments, they grow at *FOUR TIMES* the rate they would in background radiation. Our best guess is they're "eating" radiation.

Do you think he’s personally manning the entire infrastructure or throttling accounts? Sounds like a conspiracy theory or something someone would say if they had an issue with Elon Musk buying Twitter.
@doctorow doubt you'll see this but - can you point me to a balanced source on history & practicalities of regulatory capture? What a plague. Thanks
So enjoyed this talk between @fakedansavage and @doctorow. Gotta get Cory’s book! savagelovecast.com/subscriptions/…
