It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down. People hate AI slop!

McDonald's Pulls Down AI-Generated Holiday Ad After Deluge of Mockery
McDonald's Netherlands is catching flak for a stupefying AI-generated video, which was roundly condemned on social media.

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.

Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from. We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

I'm not sure what's bigger Loser Energy - that Musk said his robot 'doing Kung Fu with Jared Leto at the Tron Ares Premiere' was AI when it was just being remote controlled, or that he thought 'telling an AI to do Kung Fu with Jared Leto at the Tron Ares Premiere' was a cool guy thing to do

For a while, they said if you needed tech help, ask a 10yo. But current 10-20yos didn't have to explore and click around and futz with things to get them to work, so if it's not immediately obvious, they can't do it. Basically if you're 30-50 you're just doing tech support for everyone forever.

any time you're told to use AI at work, turn your work in about half as fast and pepper it with obvious mistakes. if nobody cares, you have less to do, and if they do, you can tell them you'll never use AI at work again

So here's something shitty: Apparently when they moved to Disney, all the Netflix Marvel shows got their subtitles redone, & so now, when you have English captions on, there are No English-Translated Subtitles for non-English dialogue. Like… What the actual fuck is the good of that???

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

I think a good rule of thumb going forward is that, if you see somebody wearing smart glasses, you should probably beat the living shit out of them. If nothing else, permanently destroy the glasses. I think people should have a mortal fear of leaving their house while wearing them

Surely there’s sort of a limit of how often you can keep betting the farm on one fashionable buzzword? Like, why not today think about what’s going to be emerging in the next four or five years and put together some smart exploratory teams in several different areas?

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

It’s weird that news organizations like the BBC are covering this as if it’s a real thing with a real process behind it—and not clearly some nakedly invented “participation trophy” by a corrupt organization to curry favor with a corrupt and easily manipulated man-child.

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.
