A funny thing happened on the way to the AI forum

Alex and Liz dig their claws into "AI," this time focusing on some recent hype-y conferences Liz attended in Chicago and Las Vegas. We also look at cyberlibertarianism, the difficulties that LLMs have with ambiguity (and why making them better at this could paradoxically make them worse overall), the costs associated with producing cutting-edge work, and the embedded biases of AI.

At least the robber barons built things 

Is a neural network like a pocket calculator? “AI” and epistemic injustice 

Chatbot revolution?
