A phenomenon I've noticed recently is people trying to occupy some untenable middleground wrt to the use of systems sold as "AI" -- this is a position where people try to recognize the harms of this tech but also hold space for "responsible" or "ethical" use.

My only quibble is that I am (again) paraphrased as if I talked about "AI" as a thing, or used "AI" to refer to language models. I'm sure what I said to Holly Baxter here was "language models" have these uses. I've asked for a correction.

In general, if you see me quoted/paraphrased in the media and the term "AI" is outside the quotes, that's gonna be a journalist mis-paraphrasing me.

The responses to this post (replies, quotes) paint a really bleak picture of a medical system in which providers are pushed to use this software and/or buy into the idea that it is a suitable way to keep up with impossible work loads, and patients in turn are pressured to accept it, lest they get labeled problematic/denied appropriate care.

I wonder if any journalists are looking into this. Would love to see coverage from e.g. 404 Media (npub1psa…j5uh)

And it's happened again -- someone replied to one of my posts about mansplaining with a "well, actually ..." joke about mansplaining. You get blocked for this folks, because it is is boundary crossing behavior.

When someone writes about something that is painful or even just unpleasant, responding with: "How but a little more of that, but as a joke?" is not funny, respectful, or appropriate.

There's a person on here sealioning in my mentions about mansplaining and demanding criteria for adjudicating whether any individual comment is or is not mansplaining.

This is, of course, asking the wrong question: It's asking "How do I defend myself against accusation?" rather than "How do I interact with people (esp women sharing their expertise) respectfully?"

When people ask me about "AI" policy, I like to point out that there is policy being made at many different levels and even if our national government is currently a shitshow, local action really matters, like zoning against data centers and "AI" policy in schools.

Veatch: “What was really surprising to me during my initial dive into all of this was how, when you look at the question of superintelligence as a documentarian or journalist, it doesn’t take long before you smack your forehead into the low doorframe of race science, because it’s baked into this technology”

I love this metaphor because of how it speaks to the contortions people (here: AI boosters) go through to ignore/pretend not to notice the race science.

The framing of this episode is extremely silly ("Is she a prophet... or is she just wrong?"): That is the oddest dichotomy I've encountered in a while. I'm a scholar, carefully observing what's going on now through the lens of my expertise, and sharing what I see.

I do my best to get things right, though no one can hope to be 100% correct and on top of that I'm working in a field where a lot of the claims I am debunking are based on non-disclosed datasets, etc.
