The autonomous bus experiment in Oslo is now a museum piece, and the warning sign inside is a little hint as to why

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life. This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion. likesupportcelebrate 186 You and 185 others

Hydrogen has been a big part of the whole phenomenon of trying to imagine a world that eliminates fossil fuels but also looks as much like the fossil fuelled as possible

So that deep desire ends up pushing billions of dollars into shockingly bad investments and technologically absurd machines

A neat demonstration of:

- Blatantly motivated forecast
- Decision to act as if unavoidable
- Consequent realisation of the forecast

pattern that has been operational in the fossil fuel world for ages. The prophecy is there to fulfil itself, not to inform or explore possibilities

Using a random text generation program as a replacement for reading and critical thinking results in errors, finds study

AI search engines cite incorrect news sources at an alarming 60% rate, study says CJR study shows AI search services misinform users and ignore publisher exclusion requests. Benj Edwards – Mar 13, 2025 10:16 PM | 140 A dartboard with only a few darts hitting it, with many misses beside it. Credit: Wong Yu Liang via Getty Images A new study from Columbia Journalism Review's Tow Center for Digital Journalism finds serious accuracy issues with generative AI models used for news searches. The researchers tested eight AI-driven search tools by providing direct excerpts from real news articles and asking the models to identify each article's original headline, publisher, publication date, and URL. They discovered that the AI models incorrectly cited sources in more than 60 percent of these queries, raising significant concerns about their reliability in correctly attributing news content.

No secret that the reason companies like OpenAI intentionally hide their energy and environment metrics is because they look very, very, very, very bad and the company is more valuable if the damage they do is kept secret
