Last Notes npub1lskgzp8mga7jk8x390z33sg7sl8t3xwxc7zsdg0mavnjwkfmnepqa2kvzc Bram Moreinis Classic Wendell Berry here, speaking for Schumacher Center: https://centerforneweconomics.org/publications/people-land-and-community/ npub1lskgzp8mga7jk8x390z33sg7sl8t3xwxc7zsdg0mavnjwkfmnepqa2kvzc Bram Moreinis Yes, I see -- the problems and responses you forecast include: npub1lskgzp8mga7jk8x390z33sg7sl8t3xwxc7zsdg0mavnjwkfmnepqa2kvzc Bram Moreinis OK, thanks! Do you plan to do anything with the results? npub1lskgzp8mga7jk8x390z33sg7sl8t3xwxc7zsdg0mavnjwkfmnepqa2kvzc Bram Moreinis do you help maintain Mastodon.social? I assumed you did because you were offering this poll. But I do not see anything about that in your bio. npub1lskgzp8mga7jk8x390z33sg7sl8t3xwxc7zsdg0mavnjwkfmnepqa2kvzc Bram Moreinis I was talking about the Prisoner yesterday (it comes up every time somebody tells me what my queue number is) and I learned that Patrick McGoohan actually wrote, produced and directed it. Wow! I guess you noticed that in the credits... npub1lskgzp8mga7jk8x390z33sg7sl8t3xwxc7zsdg0mavnjwkfmnepqa2kvzc Bram Moreinis I just found an article that tells more of the store of how search results (lists of links) are deprecated in favor of AI summaries: npub1lskgzp8mga7jk8x390z33sg7sl8t3xwxc7zsdg0mavnjwkfmnepqa2kvzc Bram Moreinis would have a title like "although people say ice cream is fattening, actually it can remove calories and fat from the body." Has anyone else discovered this manipulative agency in Gemini search summaries misrepresenting sources? It hardly seems accidental. 3/3 npub1lskgzp8mga7jk8x390z33sg7sl8t3xwxc7zsdg0mavnjwkfmnepqa2kvzc Bram Moreinis So I started using Gemini to find bulletproof resources to make this case. I was shocked to learn that although my prompts clearly indicated the resources I wanted, Geminis summaries indicating the points being made by the pages at pointed too, which were in line with my prompts, led to pages that invariably said the opposite. I might ask, "show me why ice cream is fattening", the summary would say "ice cream is fattening ", but the cited source ...2/3 npub1lskgzp8mga7jk8x390z33sg7sl8t3xwxc7zsdg0mavnjwkfmnepqa2kvzc Bram Moreinis We allowed Gemini for search in the school where I work. My AP CS Principles students are ending the year by watching "The AI Doc" and creating presentations and questions for each other. Last class we watched the section of the optimists claiming AI will solve all of our problems. It was utter horseshit, given that there were material and ecological limits to how much you can build out data centers. 1/2
