Large Language Mistake
Current AI models are not on the path to artificial general intelligence
Update: One week after The Verge published my essay, it was cited in a federal district court decision to support the proposition that LLMs do not reason the way that humans do.

🎙️ In the latest episode of "Robby's Never-Ending Podcast Playlist," Don MacKinnon schools us all on how #simplicity triumphs over that pesky 'cleverness' in software design. 🤓 Because who needs #innovation when you can just do less, right? 🙃

@Sustainable2050
But the EVs charge at different times.
And mostly when industry and other transport isn't taking much power.
Most of ours, at home, will take 7kW, BTW. I'd quite like 3-phase.
Having some smartness in the system as a whole is clearly good, but I think we get bigger surges from kettles in the TV advert breaks. -

A quotation from Herbert Hoover
The duty of public men in this Republic is to lead in standards of integrity — both in mind and money.
Dishonor in public life has a double poison. When people are dishonorable in private business, they injure only those with whom they deal or their own chances in the next world. But when there is a lack of honor in Government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.
Some folks seem to think these are necessary evils in a free government. Or that it is smart politics. Those are deadly sleeping pills. No public man can be just a little crooked.Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
Speech (1951-08-30), “Concerning Honor in Public Life,” Iowa Centennial Celebration, Des Moines, Iowa (radio broadcast)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/hoover-herbert/18705…

Ah, the tragic plight of the tech-savvy martyr, doomed to endless toil by their own #cleverness. 🙄 Apparently, knowing how to automate batch files is akin to carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. 😂 Somewhere, #Sisyphus is laughing and rolling his eyes.

In Italy, the insistence that only people 'born as women' compete in a beauty pageant has been protested by more than 100 trans men who have entered the pageant. “...their positions are so ridiculous that we were able to pull off a national campaign with a smile on our face, laughing at their struggle to keep up with so many subscriptions from ‘female from birth’ people, just as they requested.”

Good morning. 🍃🍃🍃
May the 4th be with you 😂. I just learned that the day is Star Wars Day. Is it a national holiday? Should it be? I saw many posts on Mastodon this morning about Star Wars Day but with Star Trek mems, and assume they were intentional lighthearted snubs from Star Trek fans, so Live Long and Prosper.
Pigeons are persistent, and clever. I thought that I partially foiled their efforts to eat all of the bird seed with my hanging feeders because they have to hover to get at the seed. it takes too much energy to do for long. But they devised a way to get the seed by taking turns and knocking seeds to the ground. They also, I believe, have lookouts to keep an eye on the feeders and report when they get filled, amazing. I still try to discourage them from hanging around.
