"We're shipping so much more code with AI!"
"Good, stable code?"
"Oh heavens no. No no no. not at all. We couldn't possibly"
humans have known how to construct a shoulder seam for thousands of years, but with AI, we are unlocking untold new ways to fuck it up
Teams have to wash and steam #WorldCup shirts to remove shoulder bulges.
"Nike boasted about the use of 'computational design'… driven by performance data that incorporated elements of AI to work alongside the company’s designers as they crafted the kits."
How could they even ship these?! Shame.
After acknowledging an issue with bulging shoulders in the shirts’ March debut, the company offered a solution that comes down to different treatment

Wait, hold up, I'm sorry - the actual data supporting the conclusions of your 'academia is politicized and not data-based enough' report may or may not be published at some point?
Proof is for the peasants at public universities, I guess.

You do not "fill the gap" in archives.
You ask *why* the gap is there in the first place.
That is where the real information resides.
Also:
LLMs train on digitized materials.
Do you have any idea how little has been digitized?
LLMs train on a *sliver* of the human past and human knowledge.
"The AI engineering impact data shows that output is up. It also shows that the work required to ensure that output is safe, correct, and maintainable has not decreased. It has increased substantially."
Aye, if only any of us had been saying this from day one 🤡

Some stray thoughts on gap-filling. Take them for what they are
1. Gaps in archives are not like rips in clothing; they don't have a well defined and wholly known, or in the broadest sense wholly knowable, shape or extent. You can't cut a patch for them or fill them with putty and smooth them over.
Rebranding a hallucination as a ‘critical confabulation’ that can fill archival gaps is a big no from me.
