I really gotta get a web site up with some kind of satisfying finality, because this place ain't cohost, and while i love writing longform thoughts, microblogging is the worst place to do that

CW: harms of AI rant
But it's not that oh, maybe it really is alive and these people are being convinced by very reasonable arguments, because they're not. It *does shit to people* when they expose themselves to this third thing that is probably the closest we'll ever get to creating a "philosophical zombie."
Forced AI use is forced harm. It's like deliberately exposing people to a debilitating virus. That we're trying to inflict this upon children under the premise of "preparing them for the future" is appalling. It's straight-up child abuse, and it's no less abhorrent when applied against adults.
It seems dramatic to write, but I feel like future historians are going to see the rapid development and deployment of AI as a kind of foolish biological attack against the populace, a tech that superficially steals labour but also does something cognitively harmful that we don't fully understand.

CW: harms of AI rant
There's an essay I've had rattling in my head that addresses the binary thinking that people get hung up on when talking about AI, like you're in one of two camps: it's alive, or it's not. There's an interesting discussion on if AI even qualifies for "tool" status, which is closer to the problem…
…and I feel as time goes on we're going to grow more accustomed to the idea that AI is a third thing that isn't even on the spectrum of alive or inanimate, it's its own thing. This isn't a mystical property; we exist in a world with viruses and prions, which are not alive, but are more than "things"
The debate of consciousness in today's AI is a category error; it has no embodiment, its nodes and weights are not for moving muscles (which is why brains really evolved: to coordinate muscle movement to increase survival odds), but statistically selecting text or pixels.
Questions of capacity to suffer are forever unanswerable because there's zero overlap with biology despite what the AI bros say. It just doesn't. At all. Developers can add layers of expert systems communicating with each other in some vague simulacrum of "thinking" but it will not and cannot cross.
But I don't know who that essay would be for. Part of me feels the dilemma is useless or even detrimental to the task at hand: to stop the theft of labour and land. You don't pull kids and teachers aside to debate whether the AR platform is really an "assault rifle" while a shooter prowls the halls.
It remains in my mind, and is a major reason why I refuse to interact with AI. There is the "I'm better than that" aspect, but also it scares me precisely for the same reason that working at a biolab handling viruses scares me. I know I have no immunity. Despite it not being alive, AI can fuck me up
And you see that with otherwise very intelligent people using AI for a brief amount of time, and becoming hooked and genuinely believing these things carry a spark of life. That is horrifying to me. I could tell myself all day that I'm too smart, "I can use AI responsibly," but it won't matter.

Taking a step back, it's a fascinating look at how the Torment Nexus doesn't actually care how wealthy or influential anyone is. The Algorithm doesn't distinguish friend or foe, slave or master. It cooks everyone equally.
Definitely food for thought.

"There’s a bat housing crisis and the solutions are adorable
Sixty-five #bats dropped dead inside a home custom-built to protect them. What went wrong? For bat moms looking for a place to raise their pups, it’s not the rent that’s through the roof, it’s the #temperature. But bat people are busy building them safer #homes: from tiny condos with #emergency exits to mini bark roosts stuck to trees."
