“Be careful the Golem’s you create…”

  • me

The Golem Analogy:

In Jewish folklore, a golem is an artificial being created from inanimate matter, often with the intention of serving or protecting, but with the risk of becoming uncontrollable or causing harm due to literal interpretation of commands or a lack of understanding.

Similarly, AI models, particularly advanced systems like large language models, are powerful tools created by humans.

They are designed to perform tasks and solve problems, but their behavior is based on the data they are trained on and the algorithms that govern them.

Just as a golem might interpret instructions too literally, leading to unintended consequences, AI systems can produce inappropriate or harmful outputs due to inherent biases in the data or a lack of real-world understanding.

Rabbi Jacob Emden (d. 1776) told of a Golem created by Gaon R. Eliyahu Ba’al Shem who eventually had to destroy his Golem as it grew stronger and stronger (some versions say “larger and larger”).

It won’t be so easy to destroy so-called “AI” without first destroying it’s creator (movie ref: that’s why Dr Dyson had to die in Terminator-2) but “AI” doesn’t have a single creator - so good luck with that.

(also: Hamas is a Golem)

@z_everson@journa.host Worth noting that John Fetterman suffered significant brain trauma as a result of his stroke a couple of years ago which most people suspect is the cause of his personality changes. This doesn't excuse his recent behavior, but it does provide an explanation.


“Spotted: John Fetterman, the not-uncontroversial Democratic senator for Pennsylvania, dining in D.C.’s top MAGA hangout Butterworth’s on Monday evening. Fetterman was joined by Breitbart’s Matt Boyle, plus — for a good 20 minutes or so — Steve Bannon.”

“Mass Death Traps and Human Slaughterhouses”: A Timeline of Israeli Attacks on Starving Civilians at US-Backed GHF Aid Sites in Gaza #Palestine qudsnen.co/mass-death-traps-an…

the saga of the motor mounts continues today... i found some rust and a missing bolt yesterday so i decided to take care of that while i was in there.

this is one benefit/drawback (depending how you look at it) to working on your own car, you're more inclined to fix all the little additional things that need fixing instead of ignoring them cause you're just getting paid to do a job and don't care

Quoting Pep Guardiola: "so scared" by Israel-Gaza war, our children next

[…] "It's so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts my whole body,"

#Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola expressed his fear and pain regarding the war on Gaza (classified by experts as #genocide) during an honorary doctorate acceptance speech at the University of Manchester.

[…] "Maybe we think that we can see the boys and girls of four years old being killed with a bomb or being killed at the hospital - which is not a hospital anymore - and think it's not our business. 'Yeah, fine. We can think about that. It's not our business, but be careful. The next one will be ours. The next four, five year-old kids will be ours. Sorry that I see my kids Maria, Marius and Valentina every morning since the nightmare started in Gaza. And I'm so scared.'

Guardiola also referenced wars in #Sudan and #Ukraine

bbc.com/sport/football/article… and many more, which have cited his words extensively though the #BBC editor in charge chose to omit. They also did not indicate that most of the murdered in Gaza are indeed women and children. Considering this is the essence of Guardiola’s speech … 🙄

One more point about the #BBC’s peculiar wording, particularly the standard disclaimer “according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry”… Experts widely regard the numbers as an underestimate.

[…] The Ministry's figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and #WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (#UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.

Mozilla shuts down AI addons

private (hosted on google cloud) Orbit AI website summery and Deep Fake Detector addons, nobody was using those. they probably cost cutting because of the google search money deal being possibly canceled if all the google search engine monopoly lawsuits go through.

looking forward to there next dead on arrival funding experiment project (probably AI again) instead of simply following braves example they had success with for almost a decade. ofc a (actual) private search engine and (actual) private browser does not pay for board members new yachts.

Why so much hate toward AI?


I''m curious about the strong negative feelings towards AI and LLMs. While I don't defend them, I see their usefulness, especially in coding. Is the backlash due to media narratives about AI replacing software engineers? Or is it the theft of training material without attribution? I want to understand why this topic evokes such emotion and why discussions often focus on negativity rather than control, safety, or advancements.
in reply to subignition

Have you talked to any programmers about this? I know several who, in the past 6 months alone, have completely changed their view on exactly how effective AI is in automating parts of their coding. Not only are they using it, they are paying to use it because it gives them a personal return on investment...but you know, you can keep using that push lawnmower, just don't complain when the kids next door run circles around you at a quarter the cost.

"UK government has “two major questions to answer about gigantic data centers, "how it will ensure there is adequate power and water available for people living near new builds, how it will mitigate the additional emissions caused by data centers."

“We’re pushing back and asking the government to show they have a plan for building new hyperscale data centers without trashing our critical supplies of drinking water, power, or shredding our chances of cleaning up our air.”

Keith Barr was born only months before the historic Apollo 11 landing in 1969. While he was too young to witness that giant leap for mankind, the moment sparked a lifelong fascination that set him on a path to design technology that will carry astronauts farther into space than ever before. Today, Barr serves as […]

The Indonesian government has suspended nickel mining in the Raja Ampat archipelago following public outcry and investigations that revealed environmental violations, including illegal mining on small islands and deforestation by several companies.

Raja Ampat, one of the world’s most biodiverse marine regions, is threatened by sedimentation, pollution and habitat destruction linked to mining, endangering coral reefs, mangroves and Indigenous communities.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of breeding, your sister is the most compatible with you? Not only do you get to pass on your genes more completely than fucking a stranger, but there's also a 98.75% chance of having healthy children (we can round this to 100%)? Think about it, you could be a 75% genetic match with your kids! Gosh, who would wanna throw away their bloodline to some random hussy?
