@GregGrandin So great, congrats! Enjoyed it a ton this past month, shed much light on things. Gave me a renewed vision of América

There has been a minor flutter on here about Matt Bruenig’s instant LLM-authored labor-law book, not least from the anti-AI left.

I find this project fascinating not because it replaces human agency (in the way that, say, an LLM-authored novel would — an anti-humanist endeavor that we should indeed shun), but because it showcases the opposite: what we might call technological humanism — augmenting human capability rather than substituting for human agency and meaning-making.

As Matt points out, this work, which he intends as a vital aid to workers and labor lawyers engaged in struggle against injustice, simply could not have been produced prior to the advent of LLMs, as it would have been too labor-intensive. This is exactly the sort of thing that we should be using AI for.

Bravo, Matt! What a neat project!

@matthewstoller How is he lying?

I got so tired of trying to relate to my own “heritage” that I decided to relate solely to my prehistoric fish ancestors, and espouse their “culture”. Which, as I understand it, was mostly about mechanically patrolling a kind of abyss into which God’s absence could not penetrate

@dioscuri @IvanIvanovichC2 Great post. I actually feel kind of awakened by it. [Strictly a laptopper]. I'm so accustomed to work just anywhere i can't imagine a "setup"

You have that setup for philosophy??

[inchoate @teddyburkhardt]

@AndyMasley Is that a hunch or based in evidence? I think a lot of people are conscientious about the tragedy of the commons. The experience of using an LLM feels like dipping from an infinite resource. To realize your [tiny] use contributes to a consequential aggregate gives pause.

Venezuela tried to throw off oligarchical/colonial dependence and achieve mass public/local self-governance, and the US has sought to stop it on a power/ideology level. The OP is about the sophistication of this experiment of local communes
