morning discussion about a company

2025-03-07 19:35:02.426264+01 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

A morning discussion about a company that's creating LLM generated newsletters, and this comment about adding bots to a Skype channel is making me think about bot-free spaces, how to make sure that people aren't violating the social contract of creating and enforcing them.

(Also, people must read way way slower than me to make Gmail's "summarize this email" remotely interesting. I, once again, do not get it.)

Trying to live bot-free or AI-free always reminds me of the short story Being Inc. in Stanisław Lem's A Perfect Vacuum. There is a metaphor he uses at the end there that blows my mind every time and I wonder, if anyone else reads or has read it, if they get the same feeling.

Huh. I don't know if I've read this, I don't remember it. I will have to try to track it down!
