I’ve mentioned this before: this is one of the oncoming trains for corp-security. We’ve long failed at least-privilege, but weren’t often punished for it.

Helen in HR (or Bob in accounts) didn’t know what to do with the extra perms they didn’t know they had.

Their agents will.

If you give Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal the power and ability to restrict the sale and purchase of legal information, it will NOT stop at porn. It WILL extend to political speech.

Porn and erotica may be distasteful, but are not shown to be "harmful" or "abusive" content.

🚨🇲🇽La CNTE anuncia huelga nacional durante la Copa del Mundo.

Insisto: Morena volvió a empoderar a una maquinaria porril que ya estaba debilitada gracias a Peña Nieto.

Y por cierto… ¿por qué carajos llevan banderas de Cuba y Palestina?

Hace mucho que quienes mueven la CNTE dejaron de ser simples líderes sindicales. Hoy son un movimiento abiertamente comunista.

Este artículo de The Washington Post plantea que los mayores de 65 años, especialmente los baby boomers y la generación X ya jubilados, se han convertido en los nuevos adictos a la pantalla. Mientras que durante años se ha criticado el uso excesivo de móviles y tablets por parte de niños y adolescentes, ahora son los abuelos quienes no sueltan el teléfono y pasan horas haciendo scroll en Facebook, viendo reels, usando ChatGPT, jugando y comprando online.

Something unexpected, and slightly worrying, is happening.

Ten days ago, I posted a preprint introducing the concept of LLMorphism: the biased belief that human cognition works like a large language model.

The preprint received an unusual amount of attention.

Hundreds of comments on social media and forums.
Reels on Instagram and TikTok.
YouTube videos.
Infographics for students.

And now it has even made it to Forbes.

It seems that I got some sort of zeitgeist.

Many people were already thinking about this.
Many people had already experienced it.
But they were missing a name and a theoretical framework.

So, here it goes:

LLMorphism is what happens when people start to see themselves as language models.

The psychological mechanism is analogical trasfer combined with metaphorical availability: LLMs become an available metaphor for cognition, and people project that metaphor back onto themselves.

The machine becomes the model of the human.

And this worries me because the risk is not only that we overestimate machines.

It is also that we underestimate ourselves: our embodied experience, our goals, our emotions, our responsibility, and our capacity for understanding.

An auditor for the Ontario, Canada government found that AI agents tasked with turning doctor/patient conversations into structured notes routinely hallucinated false treatments, replaced drug names with entirely different drugs, and missed crucial information

If you're thinking about using gen-AI to "write" books, this 🧵 is for you.
I’m a highly experienced editor who’s been in the biz a long time. Recently I’ve had manuscripts come to me where the author has used gen-AI – not for writing, I’ve been assured, but for

Only 10-13% of inmates who possessed a firearm during their offense got their guns from retail sources.
