I don’t know how to explain why but it’s extremely obvious to me that this is an AI generated image

Am I the only one who thinks that it is, on average, remarkably easy to book and manage a trip online

I was cooking here

The AI industry is prone to massive, frequent, and intensifying narrative mood swings. Part of this is typical of a boom. But I think it's also intrinsic to the tech itself nymag.com/intelligence...

I actually think this a lot too.

They actually die after each token

To me it is very interesting that LLMs seem to be (1) uniquely useful in ways we don't fully understand (2) uniquely expensive in ways we don't fully understand This combination gives the whole gamble incredibly high stakes, and it's no wonder that all kinds of weird stuff is happening.

Maybe this is naive but I feel like targeting social media with regulation is going to be kind of challenging because it’s not actually obvious what exactly should count in the category of “social media” and people are making new websites all the time

There just aren’t a lot of precedents for what’s going on with AI so I think it’s quite challenging to make accurate predictions about what’s going to happen

Ed Zitron went on Chapo and he was too insane head-in-the-sand denialist even for them. Felix goes "maybe AI assisted coding can contribute to drug research or cut the 12 year game development cycle down somewhat" and Ed is just like "WRONG!!"

Are all the computers that serve your website located outdoors?

fixed your headline

Just my opinion

I can’t think of another song that has the same chord changes as this in the verse

Removing the character limit was so stupid

one funny thing in this Pew report on Americans' AI usage is that respondents are more likely to predict AI will have a negative impact than a positive impact, but when you ask them how it impacts them personally across different areas, each area tilts positive, mostly by a lot

20% use them for medical advice

people become wildly authoritarian when it comes to what people should and shouldn't be allowed to do on their phones

put it in the Louvre

really half assed this one

Feels good that we’ve got a bona fide main character on the timeline today.

Very good stuff here

Kind of a strange thing with AI in 2026 is that some of the most implausible scenarios, from a 2022 perspective, have largely come to pass, and some of the least implausible scenarios have not

I mean you also have to mix it

As a huge fan of The Newsroom I’m incredibly excited about The Social Reckoning

They have burgers at Tim Hortons in England

I was excited to try this because I have yet to come across a real false positive from Pangram but I am disappointed to report that I can’t reproduce it.

He's 100% correct about both of these things.

It’s all “that’s okay because” until your account is one of the false positives

first AI picture that ever tricked me

in my opinion there are some bad things and some good things about AI

Absolutely a good question provided it's asked in good faith and the asker can be satisfied that there is an answer. The answer is: roughly the same way that you can be sure about the output of some program that you yourself wrote. That is to say, you can't be, automatically. But there are ways.

If you want websites or apps you are going to have to tolerate a certain number of data centres

I mean… no not really I don’t think. Kind of the opposite afaict?

KAT really wanted to win the jump

in my opinion an underrated contributor to this is that many of the highest profile people involved here have self-consciously decided to pivot to being highly unlikeable

remembering when LLMs used to be interesting

Zitron brain is operating under the axiom that everyone—everyone!—involved in the thing you don't like at all levels is constantly telling brazen lies, breaking the law with impunity, choosing their every action to actively deceive you, and then concluding that under this axiom, things are not good.

This is obviously a Rorschach test but in my humble opinion when management introduces a new service from provider P and the employees start using it so much that management then has to cap access to it, that is generally good, not bad, news for P

I’m sorry but if you don’t smell it instantly you’re ngmi

Leibniz was really cooking when he came up with the integral sign

Call me when people show up like this to a Tilly Norwood concert

There is a hint of a fun story here but she didn't have the mettle to actually follow the story somewhere interesting.

ok this is the last I'll say about this bad article but my last observation about it is at no point does the interviewer ask any questions like "So, do you have any movies coming out soon? Any more songs? Any media whatsoever aside from two Instagram posts a month?"

Agonizing over Tilly Norwood’s pronouns actually lends to the ruse that she is some discrete entity that exists in real life. It’s perfectly fine to use she/her pronouns for your interview with Tilly Norwood just as would be fine to use he/him pronouns in an interview with Toucan Sam.

It’s kind of crazy how openly they admit in the New York Times that it’s just ChatGPT. Hot tip for any tech reporters who follow me and are looking to score the elusive Tilly Norwood profile, you do not actually need Particle 6. You can just go to ChatGPT.com and talk directly to her.

That’s my biggest peeve with the state of tech reporting; just the absolute eager credulity with which they repeatedly fall for the BMG. Show me a million people wearing the friend pendant. Show me a million people watching a Tilly Norwood movie. Don’t just take the CEO’s word that it’s inevitable.
