  1. TIL some lawyers in Alberta somehow made it through a law degree & bar exam w/o learning basic fallacies.

    A free, 5hr online professional development course about #Indigenous Histories & #CulturalCompetency ≠ legally enforced mandatory attendance at the concentration camps that were residential "schools"

  9. #introduction

    Weyt-kp xwexweytep, I'm a #Secwepemc woman (she/her) with interests in poetry, photography, ethnobotany, crafts & handiwork, #Indigenous Rights & critical #Indigeneity, biogeography, & toponymy, among other things.

    I was hesitant to make the move here (I'm @ CoyoteDreams and @ CoyoteRain elsewhere on social media), but I took my old name back and I'm looking forward to seeing if this is a place for a different way of engaging with each other.

  10. (11/12) How does the bubble unwind? Already is. Watch the pricing games and the shift to charging for tokens. AI companies have been operating on Loony Toons physics, but gravity is catching up.

    As the bubble pops, expect the house of cards around data center financing to implode. This is as much a “Data Center bubble” as it is an “AI bubble.”

  11. (10/12) I call this the “capital-as-labor” delusion: the idea that buying software is a 1:1 substitute for hiring a human. It's not. It takes a massive amount of labor to maintain the tooling and scaffolding that keeps LLMs running. Like driverless cars whose deployments are managed by engineers.

  16. (8/12) This leads us to the inevitable: LLMs are a bubble. But “bubble” doesn't mean “disappearing.” It means they are one piece of a much larger, brewing financial crisis. LLMs will likely persist in some form after this passes.

  21. (7/12) Just as LLMs rely on tooling and governance, market systems rely on rules and laws. There is no “emergent” LLM intelligence, just as there is no “self-regulating” free market. Both are myths of autonomy. misaligned.markets/ai-hype-mar

  22. (5/12) Specifically, LLMs benefit from dark patterns that “launder” the idea that a mind is on the other end of the screen. This obfuscates the intentions of AI companies while making invisible the labor of the people lower in the chain.

    I don't think there's a “neutral” version of this, but I do think there are less bad versions of it, if LLMs are scoped for specific tasks.

  27. (4/12) But by design LLMs hide the involvement of humans in their process chain. Their entire marketing and UX requires this invisibility. The result is no different from any other UX dark pattern. Users adopt patterns of use that designers prefer. Designers train on those patterns creating a self-reinforcing loop. If this scales, I think it'll be worse than social media.

  29. (2/12) To understand the bubble, we first have to demystify the tech. LLMs require staggering amounts of human involvement during training and at runtime. Any “intelligence” is heavily scaffolded. That most discussions don't start with this notion criminal.

  30. (1/12) The 'AI bubble' is a political economy story I've spent over 20k words unraveling. LLMs aren't just a technology; they're a mirror of the same delusions that drive market fundamentalism: a naive understanding of innovation, deference to capital, and the denigration of human labor.

    Our debates are implicitly about all of these and more. A thread 🧵:
