I was impersonated by Grammarly as well.
Besides the lack of consent, a big problem is that the LLMs do a highly plausible impersonation of my views for anything not specific to me but miss exactly where my views differ from many AI experts or critics.
So worse than useless. Actively misleading.
Even after all this, I think many people are underestimating the irreversible, fundamental changes to this country and the world order that’s been unleashed in the past year and a half. (Yes, since the win).
Well, there it is.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

👀 @davidcorn.bsky.social catch:
PSA: One consequence of AI language models is that you should check your spam folder regularly.
LLMs can generate targeted/tailored outputs at scale, resulting in a growing overlap between spam and email meant for you.
Filters are failing: more spam in your inbox AND more of your mail in spam.
