No kidding, I had apparently actually listened to those ones but forgotten, and now I've listened again AND need to pile those into my "slow the fuck down with AI in everything" references pile. "automation paradox" is being baked in to the whole stack right now. Particularly terrifying when I think of my previous medical systems roles, because we seem to have dropped any idea of regulating life-endangering tech, too.

@johannab @Niall @ai6yr Yeah. In multiple spheres, I’m increasingly resigning myself to “people are going to have to learn it for themselves” mode — shifting focus from global prevention to local mitigation, away from trying to control others and toward protecting what’s already in my sphere of personal control. In my software consulting days, I often found myself trying to get companies not to hit themselves in the head with a hammer, but often it turned out to be best to just go ahead and let them do that and then ask “How’d that work out for you?” It’s painful to see in advance the needless damage, the waste, but sometimes it’s the only thing that works.
