In general the Incerto series by Nassim Taleb (Black Swan, Antifragile, and Skin in the Game) was worth it. The Selfish Gene, System thinking A primer, I am a strange loop, Sapiens are some books that I read recently that had a lasting impr

Could this be a good example of Goodhart's law? LLMs are designed to talk like humans or at least the texts they are based on. Should not be a big surprise that they become harder to be distinguished.

Never cross a river that is on average 4 feet deep. Some may get richer, but a lot will end homeless or without protection in an hostile climate scenario. And that for sure won't be the only, isolated, consequence.

He is missing the point. Flatpak/Snap are not just an alternative way to ship binaries. They are way to isolate applications and what they can do. Landscape has moved from protecting the system or an user from another to protect the sa

It is not just surface, but thickness too, what makes the whole picture. But what will matter in the end is exposing more (dark, albedo-wise) water to sunlight rising a notch global warming and melting even more Arctic sea ice. Positive fe

Even with perfect recording things will go bad pretty fast. The Black Mirror episode was just too naive. And wait till the very explicit AI that is meant to record everything near you ends in the very implicit one in your smartphone, comput

Technology changed a lot in the last 20 years. And don't take advice from someone that have been only working at the same place and same technology all that time. But what about the old folks that have been changing and adapting to the

Not using a seat belt doesn't cause car crashes. But giving enough time they may happen, and when they do, they could be far more severe, even lethal, because you didn't had the seat belt in the first place.

I've read from Hoftadter "I am a strange loop" that should go around those ideas too. The point of how you define consciousness (he does it in a more or less computable way, a sort of self-referential loop), so it may be with
