  • Honestly, I consider myself a social democrat, and that’s a fair criticism of social democratic politics.

    You can mitigate the worst excesses of capitalism, but only at the price of constant vigilance. And if you do a good job, people don’t think you are doing much of anything, and hound you about the “government inefficiency”, the “oppressive regulatory pressure” and the “poor business climate”. You are basically running PR for capitalism.








  • Honestly I think LLMs are impressive pieces of kit. However, they have huge flaws which means they are only really applicable to a very very small subset of applications and need both ai expert and subject matter expert supervision.

    If I were to run a devastating anti-LLM campaign, I’d go around telling people they are perfect (which they clearly are not), and shove them into all applications imaginable (to drive the point home that they suck) and wait for the revolution.

    So, welcome to the resistance, Mr Suleyman.









  • This is all true. It’s also in addition to the horrific misogyny of the medical establishment. Not only is autism underdiagnosed in women, almost all conditions are understand in women. Including acute heart attacks.

    This is partly for sort of valid reasons (they routinely exclude women from clinical trials because of unknown pregnancies putting the baby at risk), partly for stupid but understandable reasons (women are harder to study because of cycle effects, managing trials need to run longer and collect more data, which costs more) and partly because of rank misogyny.

    If I were a woman, I’d be terrified of dealing with health care professionals of any kind.
