Here’s my interview with Shishir Mehotra, the CEO behind Grammarly’s “expert review” feature which attributed writing advice to people - including me lol - without permission. Or, as you will hear us talk about a lot, compensation. www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...

this is what i keep saying about ai "translation." it will hallucinate!! you cannot rely on the notion that its output has any relationship to the input! it's just extruding synthetic text without any concern for content! translation is a very complicated and nuance-needing task!

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame. TL:DR, they sped up slop. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

Ask the neoliberals who decided this was the goal for the economy over the last 35 years Neoliberalisms goal is exactly what we are experiencing we take all of the financial pain and what accompanies it while those who actually have the money and the power are fully protected from loss or suffering

This logic works for most of what people find impressive in LLMs. "Holy crap Chat GPT can write just like a person!" is a conclusion you can only come to in a culture that only reads tweet-length blurbs, and marketing.

yeah this is how like 30% of the electorate works

Last Epoch blew up their game for this company lmaoooo

This is my St Patricks day.

absolutely floored by the MTG playing Drag Queen called GiGi WellPlayed. Outstanding work.

The NHS has now banned all puberty blockers and HRT for under-18s, denying them autonomy and care, all for political ends. If you're not angry about this, you should be. If you are, you know what to do: Take action. BASH BACK. Join us: tinyurl.comJoinBASHBACK Contact: tinyurl.com/ContactBASHBACK

Happy Mario day!

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism

I actually think there is something to be said for both things here. Poeple should be aware of the horrors their government is inflicting, and that should radicalise you to fight against it however you can People feel so abstracted from the horrors of imperialism because it's in some far away land

One of the main things I want out of any government is that they'll stop treating farmers with baby gloves. Oh boohoo you farm crops to make kerosene while polluting nearby land and rivers, while also paying 0% tax on your £5 million inheritence.

“This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.” Two years ago today. Rip Aaron Bushnell

Let's respond to hate with love. Let's respond to love with big love. To those who are anti-transgender, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand transgender people. I ask that you quietly watch over us. Transgender people just want to be happy with the people they love🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Humiliated in the media, denied healthcare, attacked by the human rights watchdog, shut out by the Supreme Court, bullied by social services and the police, disadvantaged in the jobs market, death figures covered up by the State, harassment de facto legalised, and attackers deified by Ministers.

Remember when Russia was doing this to Ukraine and everyone was falling over themselves to condemn it? Yeah where's that energy from governments now that the rogue state is one of theirs lmao

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

I'm chiinsaw man ちぃんそーマン🪚でキメますっ☆

It’s crazy the sheer number of supposedly rational people who were like “ok but it’s good at health stuff” early on.

Really funny how the ruling class keeps justifying infringing on our liberties with "we gotta protect the children" while bombing palestinian children, protecting a global billionaire network of child trafficking, and building measles infested children prisons

All border enforcement members will be turning around and facing the wall

Gender-affirming healthcare should be free on the NHS. Right now, it's not. Waiting lists are years long. Children have no access. Many people are left managing dysphoria and transition alone.

The world's most prolific pedophile probably jacked off to Chica and I don't think my brain can handle reality anymore

Canadians horrified by what ICE is doing should realize the RCMP uses the same tactics domestically against Indigenous people and yet barely anyone speaks up. Journalists have been arrested just for trying to cover it

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

The Democrats will kill you too, just with a facade of respectability

So Biden was doing what even Trump wouldn’t do all while funding a genocide and cozying up to a fascist ethno state engaged in genocide and slow walking the prosecution of Trump for j6? The Democratic Party needs to be destroyed and replaced with a real non neoliberal corporatist entity.

The same way gravity is a theory

Completely agree with @miawong.bsky.social here. There were multiple videos out of Villegas Gonzalez’s murder the same day he was killed that contradicted ICE’s claims. bsky.app/profile/gbro...

Transphobes (including “gender-critical feminists”) are fascists. Not ‘fascist enabling’ Not ‘fascist adjacent’ Not ‘collaborating with fascists’ They are fascism’s core, fascism front and centre.

Remember: "just following orders" is not a defence, and collaborators did not escape Nuremberg

At 26th and Nicolett in Minneapolis this morning— Feds have just shot another person in the streets. Furious community members are gathering. State police and conservation cops here in front of ~50 federal agents.

If you're not familiar with just how unhinged the "Gender Critical" movement is, this thousand strong class action thing might just seem like a random ass-pull, but what it is is that they believe there's going to be some moment where all trans people will just suddenly stop being trans all at once.

Fuck the HTS, fuck Turkey, long live Rojava

United Nations rights chief Volker Turk visits Sudan and says people in country are going through 'hell'.

Greenlanders don't want to be American, because they know the horrors that would follow, but they don't want to be fucking Danish either. They want to be Greenlanders, they want sovereignty and self-determination.

It's not an easy thing to talk about, but we do really need to reckon with how Western media and activism is very selective in its outrage. People are rightfully outraged about what happened to Renee Good, but where was that smoke for Kevin Porter? Hell where is it for imperial atrocities abroad?

Renee being a lesbian matters not only in terms of, come on guys, the guy who shot her saw her wife and called her a fucking bitch after he shot her, we would call that a hate crime if it wasnt ICE, but also in terms of the way the right immediately moved to unperson her/designate her as degenerate

Oh so we’re doing full Neoliberal recuperation now where the liberals are saying that ice has “gone rogue” and that this is all just “not what they are” and that we must get them back to “normal” Elected liberals are going to get us all killed and or put in camps because they are corrupt cowards.
