wonderful:
> The problem isn’t AI. What we need to regulate is the bullshit.

on the bullshit, you Willard previously pointed us to
Fisher, Sarah A. «Large language models and their big bullshit
potential». Ethics and Information Technology 26, fasc. 4 (4 ottobre
2024): 67. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10676-024-09802-5.
Hicks, Michael Townsen, James Humphries, e Joe Slater. «ChatGPT is
bullshit». Ethics and Information Technology 26, fasc. 2 (8 giugno
2024): 38. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10676-024-09775-5.

to which I would add
Marcus, Gary. «A Few Words About Bullshit». Substack newsletter. The
Road to AI We Can Trust (blog), 16 novembre 2022.

μνάσασθαί τινά φαιμι †καὶ ἕτερον† ἀμμέων
sono certa che qualcuno si ricorderà di noi anche quando ce ne saremo andati
I’m sure someone will remember us even when we’re gone
