We keep arguing about “AI” as if it has a stable definition.
It doesn’t—and it won’t—because “intelligence” is a moving target, and every definition depends on where someone’s work (or fear, or incentives) intersects with the tech.
That’s why debates keep collapsing into talking past each other: we’re not using the same word.

This our fault, those of us who help define the field, and I apologize. We were duped by science fiction into thinking the Turing Test was valid, it was pompous and overstated but reflected our naive ambitions and the term gained funding attention so who could blame us?
The CORRECT term would be Applied Statistics

AI is just a catch-all word. It's not the meaning of *intelligence* that is a moving target, but the definition of what is inside AI that is. It could have been named "applied statistics" and include the current dozens of technologies that are in it.
Translators are AI, Map Navigation is AI, Search algorithms are AI. A lot of these technologies are pretty awesome and belong to our normality.
The limit between "automatic" and "ai" is always moving. As things get more complex any previous technology moves from being "AI" to being simply some kind of "automation". This moves the target.
Today, instead, we are faced with an inconsistent technology (namely LLM) that claims to be the ouverture for AGI, the Graal of computing. The claim is false, and the technology inconsistent as it doesn't have any specific use case.
They promise it is being the "all use cases that you may think of", but if you coded a little bit you know that this is bullshit.
Bingo.
Guess why the first jobs to be replaced are the creative ones.

Sono proprio curiosa di conoscere i risultati, sempre se si arriverà a capo di queste indagini.
Poi, WhatsApp si WhatsApp no è solo una questione di cultura digitale.

@Otttoz mi dispiace tantissimo! Purtroppo la sanità pubblica non fa nulla per gli animali domestici, non lo fa già per gli umani... figuriamoci! Alla gatta le hanno trovato una escrescenza alla narice sinistra, stiamo aspettando i risultati della biopsia, spero che la cura antibiotica elimini tutto altrimenti saremo costretti pure ad operarla!

#Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎
Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂

@alvan that was @andypiper and I agree with your assessment.

> “When migrants lose their status, they are not deported,” Harsha explains. “They become undocumented – forced to work below minimum wage, in even more precarious conditions. That doesn’t help the labour movement, or the working class.”
Is this true? I've never heard this before. Nobody's ever asked me for my citizenship status when I applied for a job, save for the tax form I fill out for income tax withholding.
To blame the Canadian government as a whole for the employers hiring workers under the table under minimum wage seems to be ... incorrect, to put it mildly. Not that it doesn't happen, but the government can't do anything direct about under-the-table work.

Wait… Canada has skating trails through their forests?!?!
What an absolutely awesome idea!
