@grumpybozo@toad.socialI wish I could be this enthusiastic about abandoning my unhealthy vices…
I really miss elements of drinking and smoking. I was never a really heavy drinker just a frequent one. Pisses me off that I can no longer have a glass of wine in the evening and feel chipper in the AM. So I just stopped.
Smoking was also annoying but easy. My wife’s health insurance provider has a surcharge for smokers. So I quit.
These are parts of my evidence for my non-humanity.

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialDay 8 (a bit late): Timnit Gebru
Academic authors are authors too, and there are a bunch of people I deeply respect both in my fields and adjacent.
Gebru is someone I have huge respect for because she stood up for her (mild, completely reasonable) principles to the point of losing her job on Google's AI ethics team (since disbanded entirely), and then went ahead and founded an independent research institute to continue doing AI ethics research.
Why was she fired? Because she insisted on publishing her "Stochastic Parrots" paper after it passed Google internal review only to have extra nonstandard scrutiny applied at the last minute. Why did Google want to suppress her paper (which included an academic co-author)? Because it expressed valid criticisms of the large language models fad, and Google was planning to make money off that fad. Personally, I don't think I'd hire an "AI ethics" team only to then try to suppress their publications, and Google seems to now agree, having scrapped the team (during the initial furor, Timnit's boss also effectively quit to support her).
That "Stochastic Parrots" paper? Indeed, it predicts the core underlying problems with large language models that lead to so many of their user-side harms today. You can read it here: #20AuthorsNoMen
