Skimming the Sedelow & Sedelow papers, I came across this passage, which is as true today as it was in 1978.
Sedelow, W. A., & Sedelow, S. Y. (1978). Formalized historiography, the structure of scientific and literary texts: Part I. some issues posed by computational methodology. Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences, 14(3), 247–263.

Passage from Sedelow & Sedelow (1978), p. 249: Our own research has for many years included studies in the uses of computers as complements to intelligent human behavior. One of our orientations has been that ‘intelligent’ systems should be designed to augment distinctively human intellectual strengths, to provide a mechanical means of doing what unaided humans need or want to do but can't do, or can't do easily or comfortably or efficiently. Thus, intelligent systems are not necessarily human…

Großartiger Artikel von Emily Bender ("stocchic parrot") und Nanna Inie zur Frage, wie man über "KI" sprechen und gleichzeitig die Anthropomorphisierungsfalle umgehen kann:

artificial intelligence → probabilistic automation hybrid intelligence → augmented human intelligence image recognition → image labeling speech recognition → automatic transcription the model shows bias → the model reflects bias model mistakes → model errors chatbots are good at … → chatbots are good for … hallucination → undesirable output
prompt → text input answer → output chatbot / conversational agent → conversation simulator
ChatGPT assisted students → the students used ChatGPT revealing the solution → displaying the solution AI agent → probabilistic, unverified software manipulator
who’s right? → is the machine output correct? they produce results → the team uses it [the system] to produce results

Making progress on the initial PoC for the FPGA debug tool suite.
This is using my existing APB_GPIO core on the Titanium side, just tunneling APB reads and writes over UART then making a SCPI command interface to remote control it in a more human readable format than raw register access.
Next step, libscopehal driver and ngscopeclient GUI support for GPIO as a device class. I already added "digital scalar of 1-64 bit width" as a new data stream type so that should easi…
