Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏

More from David Schmalz, re: his #MontereyCountyWeekly cover story on the Moss Landing battery fires:

"I’d like to talk more about our society’s insatiable demand for #energy, and how easy it is to become detached from its costs—not on the pocketbook, but the planet. You don’t think much, if at all, about energy when you drive your car up a hill, but you’d think about it plenty on a #bike or on foot.
…
“Energy demand keeps ticking up, especially now with the advent of #AI.

"Throw a question into a Google search, for example, and the answer—now that it’s AI-assisted—consumes 10 times more energy than it did before AI.”

NOTE: That’s one reason we choose to check “never" AI in our searches. duckduckgo.com/settings#aifeat And we very, very rarely turn to Google. Duck Duck Go has been our default search engine since 2015. We first used the Duck in 2011 and have experienced its improvements every year. Our family is used to us saying "Ask the Duck" not "Google it.”

In ancient times, the japes of fools and jesters were heeded as warnings from the gods. I have not spent this much time burnishing my jester credentials for nothing -- dashbots are coming and they will ruin everything. #UXDesign #UX #ProductManagement #LLM #AI #GenAI #B2B

“AI Art should be thought of as a trojan horse. There is much more interest and excitement in using artificial intelligence to predict human behavior, surveil groups of people, using behavioral insights to improve discrimination, synthesize and securitize new assets, innovate new forms of dispossession and extraction, terrorize migrants and dissidents, regiment work and disempower workers, and a host of other noxious deleterious social ends.”

Proof or Bluff? Evaluating LLMs on 2025 USA Math Olympiad.

“[T]he first comprehensive evaluation of full-solution reasoning for challenging mathematical problems. Using expert human annotators, we evaluated several state-of-the-art reasoning models on the six problems from the 2025 USAMO within hours of their release. Our results reveal that all tested models struggled significantly, achieving less than 5% on average.”

arxiv.org/abs/2503.21934v1

Table 1: Main results of our evaluation. Problems are scored out of 7 points, with the total score being at most 42. Listed scores are averaged over all four runs. We measure cost in USD, and report the average score across all generations and graders for each problem. Summary of the results by model: - R1: Scored 2.0 points. Cost per run: $2.03. - Flash-Thinking: Scored 1.8 points. Cost not available. - Claude 3.7: Scored 1.5 points. Highest cost among low performers at $9.03. - QWQ: Scored 1.2 points. Cheapest model at $0.42. - O1-Pro: Also scored 1.2 points, but at a very high cost of $203.44. - O3-Mini: Lowest total score at 0.9 points. Cost: $1.11. Takeaway: All models performed poorly overall, scoring between 0.9 and 2.0 out of 42. There’s no clear trade-off between cost and performance; the most expensive model (O1-Pro) performed no better than the cheapest (QWQ).

Not A Convicted Felon

You know, we invented systems before there were computers.
'Forms' were on paper, rather than on screens.
An 'in tray' was an actual metal wire, or wooden tray, for paper letters, notes, memos and forms.
A database was called a 'filing cabinet'.
An 'interface' was a mail box.
A 'front end' was a person, with a job title like administrator, or clerk.
These systems were described, in excruciating detail, in procedure manuals.
The processes were run not by CPUs, but by people.
'Bugs' were when people made mistakes.

Systems were difficult to understand, even harder to diagnose, and very very hard to fix or change.
To change the way a department worked, for e.g. accounts receivable was so hard that most companies never even tried.

And yet somehow people are under the impression that it is the code that is the difficult bit about modern business systems.
So they try and make the code part easier.
#LowCode #LoCode #NoCode #AI #GenAI #LLM

It was never the code. Code was never the bottleneck.

Over the past few years, the TX DPS has quietly built out an expansive #surveillance apparatus -increasingly powered by #AI. Many of these tech acquisitions -made under the auspices of Gov Abbott’s Op Lone Star -$11B program that's supercharged the TX’s decades-long border militarization.

DPS has a fleet of spy planes, unmanned drones, & a NET of wildlife game cameras -deployed all across the borderlands of TX

I will likely, never visit TX.

ICYMI: I'll be talking at the Melbourne #ML and #AI Meetup in a couple weeks' time about the #TokenWars - the conflict for data to train LLMs and the fight by IP rights holders to protect their data from scrapers.

Come learn about how #LLMs are trained on huge volumes of tokens with transformers, why those tokens are becoming more economically valuable, and what you can do to protect your token treasure.

You'll never look at ChatGPT or data the same way again.

Huge thanks to @jonoxer for the recommend, and to Lizzie Silver for the behind the scenes wrangling.

China built hundreds of #AI #datacenter s to catch the AI boom. Now many stand unused.
The country poured billions into AI infrastructure, but the data center gold rush is unraveling as speculative investments collide with weak demand and DeepSeek shifts AI trends.

I'm not sure how it is for other topics, but when it comes to programming topics, I keep finding more and more AI slop on "developer" blogs. It's getting to the point where finding helpful content is more and more difficult. I guess because the people who don't actually care about knowledge can spew slop at a much higher rate than people who produce quality content.

Dev blogs used to be a decent supplement to library docs. Not really any more. 😒
