A thing to note, which Hank Green shares with so so many other “smart” people in science or tech, is that his words show he doesn’t understand how these systems work He’d continue to use these systems if they hadn’t triggered what looks like the now common chatbot mental health episode

“I Hate Adobe” https://aftermath.site/i-hate-adobe/ Yeah. Same.

Wandering around YouTube and on the videos I've been watching the comments for the software dev videos have been a cesspool of rightwing hate and nihilism while the comments on the rest are mostly just silly Maybe I just got unlucky but it's not giving a good impression of the state of the field

People keep using the "can't put a genie back in the bottle" metaphor for "AI", even though in the stories they always get back in and current "AI" is more of a "we're spending trillions of dollars and the energy output of a continent trying to keep this bastard out of the bottle" situation
