Discussions about the use of AI (specifically LLMs) in business are all around right now. Here’s some link soup, with fresh ingredients sourced over just the past few days:
- use of AI tools at work mandated
- vibe coding drops production database (but the question of not using the LLM doesn’t arise)
- AI generated music purports to be from long-dead musician
…and today, this post pops up on my radar. It’s in a thread that starts by talking about the adoption of AI tools, someone attempts a redirect to focus on human problems, and then we get this, “Well, actually, war is way down today compared to the past.”
And now, suddenly, my brain is sparking and thinking about the globalized interconnectedness of the eastern Mediterranean during the late bronze age and how that totally prevented any kind of widespread conflict or collapse. So now I’m wondering what timeline I’m actually in, you know?
