policyskeptic: AI is nether the danger or the solution many think

It helps to understand how A&E works as a system before proposing how to change the public measurements used to manage it. There is little e...| policyskeptic.blogspot.com

I have never seen security and privacy checklists used for any other purpose but deception. After pondering this observation, I’m left seriously doubting if comparison checklists have any val…| Dhole Moments
Deze tekst zal ongetwijfeld in de databases van AI-modellen zoals ChatGPT, Gemini en DeepSeek belanden. Die modellen maken namelijk gebruik van zogenaamde ‘scrapers’: programmaatjes die…| Bij Nader Inzien
In the movie The Matrix, where people live in a fake virtual world, Morpheus offers Neo a choice. He says, “You take the blue pill... the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.” But taking the red pill means you wake up in the horrifying real world and have to face the consequences.| policyskeptic
In a gobsmacking interview with the Institute for Government, Andrew Lansley revealed his reflections on his notorious health bill. He doesn't seem to have learned much. Had he been in charge in 1940 Britain would have lost the Battle of Britain. This is important as his mistakes are still prevalent in government thinking about how to run the NHS. And we need to learn from his mistakes or we will lose the battle for the NHS.| policyskeptic
The brilliant HBO/Sky drama Chernobyl tells the story of the world's worst nuclear accident. The accident was avoidable. It happened because previous dangerous events in reactors of similar design (including one of the other reactors at Chernobyl) were suppressed by the Orwellian Soviet government because they didn't want to admit their technology designs were flawed. | policyskeptic
Several popular news stories in the last couple of weeks have shown that attention-grabbing headlines do more to distract than they do to improve the NHS. You have to know what the problem is before you fix it and too many popular discussions on the system's problems identify the wrong problem and get in the way of actual improvement.| policyskeptic

The headline is of course a bit of a provocation. Not all Innovation is a distraction, there are many areas in which meaningful work happens any day to generate some form of relevant new product or process or technology. But there are also so many areas in our lives, so many problems that affect us […]| Smashing Frames
I wrote what I thought would be the final blog post of 2024 last week, and was looking forward to starting 2025 strong with a blog I’d been drafting since July 2023. But then, a little after …| Dhole Moments
The Gregorian revolution gave rise to a form of organisation that was gradually stamped out all over the Western world and then to its followers. Constitutional monarchy: A pyramid with a chief executive at the top with the rest of the pyramid made up of checks and balances on the chief executive (whether explicit or implicit) […]| Club Troppo
I continue to find it mind-boggling that people seem to think that a good use of AI tools like ChatGPT is to gather accurate information. Any cursory reading on the topic should explain that ChatGPT is designed to predict language in response to a prompt, not actually present information based on “knowledge” or “intelligence.” I […]| Just TV
EDIT: Freddie Foulds over on Bluesky found the post for me! It was a Chris McDowall post: Alien Dojos. This is now a fan post about the genius that is Alien Dojos. Every martial art described there (for use with Into The Odd) has a resolution mechanic that involves doing something tactile with dice, beyond just rolling. For “Bafistan Fist Fighting” each punch is a d6, “rolled” by “throwing them into the air and punching them”—but you have to punch them in such a way they still l...| Zedeck Siew's Writing Hours
A common narrative on discussion boards like Hacker News is that my inclusion of my fursona on my technical blog posts somehow makes them unsuitable for consumption in a business setting. (This cla…| Dhole Moments
