In "AI we could have had" - a six-page spread in tomorrow's FT Weekend - I argue that there used to be another, more humane way to think about intelligence, interactivity, smartness. Sadly, we blew it! An essay inspired by A SENSE OF REBELLION: ft.com/content/c63dae2b-b0d5…

Okay here's a ridiculous (but true) take: word processing is bad. Before it, document length was bounded by the human capacity to copy long-form text. After word processing, the tax & legal codes grew without check. And became incomprehensible to anyone but career experts.

Today @LgHumanMachine we are discussing languages endangerment and vitality. Good reminders that when we talk about languages in the human-machine era, we are often talking from a Global North, resource-intensive, English-speaking, perspective. #LITHME

People have not yet processed the very real fact that you absolutely cannot trust any images, voices, and (soon) video you see on the Internet. It is incredibly trivial for anyone to fake reasonable pictures with Midjourney & clone voices with ElevenLabs, in minutes & for free

I'm sure if there was a large explosion near the White House, "Altcoin Gordon" would be the first person to tell you about it. This is an AI-generated fake, much like the one earlier about the Pentagon.

Native speakers dominate conversations. Apparently, they don’t realise they do it. To ensure conversational equity, you need a good moderator, and turns out bots make good moderators 🤖 Fascinating research out of @CornellUCOMM news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

Bot gives nonnative speakers the floor in videoconferencing | Cornell Chronicle

Native speakers often dominate the discussion in multilingual online meetings, but adding an automated participant that periodically interrupts the conversation can help nonnative speakers get a word...
