What's wrong baby? You haven't touched your peach piss n fart cake.

I respect Steven Spielberg for never explaining why Matt Damon turns into an old man at the end of Saving Private Ryan. An odd note of magical realism in an otherwise straightforward film!

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

among the biggest problems with television today, the lack of economic or logistical pressure to actually make shows is among the greatest. (1/14)

A great thread, and to a large degree this development is due to the sickness now consuming the entire economy - the network’s job went from making profit to driving stock prices up. A mature business will not make your CEO and his pals as rich as a “growth” business.

A company that makes a no-tech, repairable tractor is having trouble keeping up with demand from farmers sick of John Deere's repair monopoly and simply want a tractor that turns on and works: www.404media.co/demand-is-bo...

Incredible how I can lie awake in the dark and quiet for hours at night but stick me in an MRI scanner and it’s 😴

Little plug here: if you're a healthy adult between the ages of 18 and 35, why not consider joining a stem cell and bone marrow donor registry? If you do so and are matched with a patient in need, you can save the life of someone with blood cancer.

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

last year the UN "ai for good" flagship conference mistreated me and censored my talk because i made the link between the ai industry (their sponsors) and genocide explicit. this year, ITU issues "content guideline" that, on a close read, sounds like a licence to silence criticism of ai/the industry

Among the many things a 20+ episode season gets you is you can have serious episodes and lighter episodes and not have to cram everything into each of 8 episodes. Not a single laugh line in an episode is fine!

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk. People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already. A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)

am now advising against this

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

This should be punishable as a serious felony. I mean, you can't steal much more from someone than their work and identity and reputation.

forks wouldn't be so smug without their precious little tines

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

There is a grotesqueness of genAI in that we'll have these faux philosophical arguements focusing whether it's really art or not meanwhile irl it is only able to marginally function due to transnational exploited labour and requires an obscene ecologically damaging infrastructure to facilitate it

sentences you can read, even when you can't

Can AI do fact-checking? We asked an intrepid @wired.com fact checker to fact-check the LLMs: "According to my research, AI is even more wrong than people might think."

This 1962 ski mask designed by Emilio Pucci looks like it was made from the skin of lesser skiers

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

this! people almost always ask me, especially after my talks, to comment on "something positive about ai"... my brother in christ, everything you hear about ai is nothing but positive. no need for me to add more

Tech bros, destroying the very value of truth, intensifying and reinforcing historic bigotry, stealing our creative work, torching trillions of dollars, abusing the rights of underpaid workers, laying waste to the environment. ‘You hate us because you’re too stupid to understand what we’re doing.’

I keep getting flashes of anger at how gen-ai is being forced down our throats. I love technology! I love new things! I have two entire PlayStation VR headsets for fuck's sake! But christ alive. Surrendering your thinking. Willingly weakening and de-skilling yourself for something almost good enough

No, he really, really doesn't.

"I'm really angry that this scifi writer whose work was stolen to train a probability machine that depletes water tables and raises electricity prices and is accelerating the transfer of wealth and capital toward men who actively hate other humans doesn't like 'AI," what a lack of vision they have"

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

UK Palantir CEO throwing his toys out of the box in a very unbecoming way here. There is no compulsion for any public body to be a Palantir customer, and the fact that he presumes there is seems very telling www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I guess the UK Technology Editor of the Guardian, who wrote this article, is unaware that Anthropic is gearing up for what it hopes will be a record-breaking IPO, and that its co-founder may thus have a financial incentive to spin grandiose, unverifiable fantasies about the future of its product

It's almost as if at least 15m Britons are being underpaid and can't afford to ever retire.

when you utter “cereal” in a hard-surfaced room

Frogs often seem like they're not very good at being frogs. I bet I would make a great frog. I'd catch all the bugs and I'd do a really good job lounging around the pond all day. It's fine though. I'm ok with how things are now. It's fine.

If a Croque Madame talked to another Croque Madame about anything other than a Croque Monsieur Would they have passed the Béchamel test?

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI
