  • My Notes

    • well-timed critique of AI/Issue/Alignment, AI/Security and the Irrational Exuberance of Techno-Optimism
    • hilarious commentary on the Aesthetics of GenAI; the hedges that Norbot creates are all square and even. Also, while constructing them, Norbot dangerously and obliviously comes close to injuring Grommit and others while working so rapidly.
