there's another reason for why i hate gemini other than it just being AI, whenever it (randomly!!) opens on my phone it turns off my headphones. It doesn't stop the video or plays a different sound, it doesn't simply disconnect the bluetooth, it somehow TURNS OFF my headphones.
whenever gemini does this i need to put the earbuds back in the case and take them out again. how is this a thing
The Probable Direct-Imaging Detection of the Stellar Companion to Betelgeuse: [oops, the paper will only go on ArXiv tonight and appear in ApJL on 24 July] -> Gemini North Discovers Long-Predicted Stellar Companion of Betelgeuse: #Betelgeuse, solving millennia-old mystery. The picture here is from the actual paper which has been sent to me ... compare it to the spiced-up version in the press release! The authors themselves say it's only a 1.5 sigma detection but because it fits the expectations for a 'Betel buddy' so well, they believe it.

AI, AGI, and learning efficiency
An addendum to this: I'm someone who would accurately be called "anti-AI" in the modern age, yet I'm also an "AI researcher" in some ways (have only dabbled in neutral nets).
I don't like:
- AI systems that are the product of labor abuses towards the data workers who curate their training corpora.
- AI systems that use inordinate amounts of water and energy during an intensifying climate catastrophe.
- AI systems that are fundamentally untrustworthy and which reinforce and amplify human biases, *especially* when those systems are exposed in a way that invites harms.
- AI systems which are designed to "save" my attention or brain bandwidth but such my doing so cripple my understating of the things I might use them for when I fact that understanding was the thing I was supposed to be using my time to gain, and where the later lack of such understanding will be costly to me.
- AI systems that are designed by and whose hype fattens the purse of people who materially support genocide and the construction of concentration campus (a.k.a. fascists).
In other words, I do not like and except in very extenuating circumstances I will not use ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, etc.
On the other hand, I do like:
- AI research as an endeavor to discover new technologies.
- Generative AI as a research topic using a spectrum of different methods.
- Speculating about non-human intelligences, including artificial ones, and including how to behave ethically towards them.
- Large language models as a specific technique, and autoencoders and other neural networks, assuming they're used responsibly in terms of both resource costs & presentation to end users.
I write this because I think some people (especially folks without CS backgrounds) may feel that opposing AI for all the harms it's causing runs the risk of opposing technological innovation more broadly, and/or may feel there's a risk that they will be "left behind" as everyone else embraces the hype and these technologies inevitability become ubiquitous and essential (I know I feel this way sometimes). Just know that is entirely possible and logically consistent to both oppose many forms of modern AI while also embracing and even being optimistic about AI research, and that while LLMs are currently all the rage, they're not the endpoint of what AI will look like in the future, and their downsides are not inherent in AI development.
