  • AI writing has a high consistency in form and no consistency in conviction. The way to recognize AI writing is to question the will behind the writing, because AI has none save for answering a prompt.

    Your business websites are a great example. You may have wanted them to be neutrally informative, instead they schizophrenically gush about contradictory digital philosophy standpoints without connecting to a big picture. There is no thinking mind behind it, just an answering machine.

    There are no points of yours to refute, because you did not make any, and AI cannot make any.


  • I’m well aware that CEOs are pushing the exact opposite of responsible AI use. But that doesn’t mean it is fully impossible to use the tool responsibly, which is also substantiated in your linked article:

    A small subset of participants though – less than 10% – worked differently and used AI as a tool to gather data that they then analysed themselves. These individuals made more accurate predictions than others participants and showed stronger brain activation too.

    Ming suggests that ultimately, the goal could be a form of “hybrid intelligence” where humans and machines “do the hard stuff” together. By this she means we need to think first and use tools to challenge us later, rather than simply letting them answer questions for us. Kosmyna agrees and suggests learning subjects without AI tools first to build a foundation and then think about using LLMs.

    It’s like dynamite. It can cause a lot of harm, but also make reasonable things like mining and demolition a lot easier. The difference is Alfred Nobel was smart enough not to distribute free samples on every street corner.



  • And it’s the job of lawmakers to rein in the harmfulness of AI, not of open-source software developers.

    And even if it isn’t open source, expecting companies to be the moral police without actual jurisdiction involved has already led to censorship, like Steam purging a bunch of games because of pressure from Visa and MasterCard. This isn’t something to be encouraged, even when it’s for things we don’t like, until it’s actually legally clear how AI is harmful and not “dubious”.

    Not that this mail is about users anyway, but about contributors. I didn’t get from this if Linus wants to push AI use for Linux contributors or not, but I doubt he does. But blocking people from using it by their own decision would be a bad move, as long as the output is reviewed and works.









  • Is this supposed to be a meta comment to show that machine translation can’t help us read it?

    Edit: If it is, well DeepL manages a pretty coherent translation:

    Yeah, I feel the same way. All the fancy stuff in this field—those sub-rhythms and whatnot—aren’t really a solution at all. Just yesterday I learned that even the pros can’t always get the grammar right, even though I thought they could. I messed around with this a little, but I couldn’t really figure out how to make it work! That part at the beginning sounds like total crap, but it’s actually pretty funny to listen to and watch.

    I’m guessing “sub-rhythm” should be “algorithm” and “pros” probably means software and not people. The last sentences could use some more context. But otherwise this sounds kinda logical.

    Now Google Translate…

    Yeah, I’m so sorry. All the fine things in this world, but those little things and the like, don’t solve the problem. Yesterday, I just didn’t study properly, I thought so. That’s a little bit of a huastelloopi, and it’s not good for you, but it’s not a big deal! Kuukkels, that’s why it’s always fun to play with the balls, it’s just fun to play with the balls and the girls.

    …yeah.
