I gave AI its fair shake, because I am an information professional and knowing what tools can do is part of my field. If it were a version of grammar check editing that could make my transitions better, kill off my adverbs for better vocabulary, I'd use it. But it just inserts plagiarized cliches.

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

profrogteering

The Daily show also interviewed "father" of effective altruism William MacAskill & promoted his book. The billionaires gave him millions to promote his book so a PR person probably got him on the show. All mainstream media shilling propaganda for the corporations claiming to build machine gods 🙄

jamie dimon, of all the fuckers, says the bleedin obvious - the AI bubble is gonna fuck everything www.news.com.au/finance/econ...

I still think the most accurate and consistent way to think about generative AI is that, in every instance, people exclusively use it for tasks that they don't have any respect for or give a shit about.

AI advocates, to a person, are literally unable to tell good from bad. When you say you can, they think you're *lying*.

LLM AI exists to crush labour. That's not even my surmise, the people paying billions of dollars to fund this stuff are extremely open and explicit that this is their goal. There are no ethical use cases for LLMs at this point in time. Maybe when the bubble has popped thoroughly. Not before.

Also absolutely amazing to say with a straight face, in 2025, "you can't stop progress." Dunno man, sure seems like you can!

I asked a Google employee a while back why they ruined search by putting the AI results first. The response was that in their opinion, the decision makers likely knew it wasn't ready but they needed to try to compete.

lying

Johnson quietly freaking out on the side because he knows all those things are wildly popular.

I love when celebrities use their FU money like this. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it's messy (in a good way) and entertaining.

Personally, I think hitting someone with your car and fleeing the scene is exponentially worse than not paying about $20 worth of transit fares, but the people who make the laws think these things are the same, and should be punished the same.

The only explanation for why assaulting people with a car has such insanely minor consequences is that the people who make our laws want to be able to assault people with their own cars.

guy with fake job tells people to do something impossible

Premium: The AI Bubble's promises are impossible. NVIDIA's customers are running out of money, GPUs die in 3-5 years, most 1GW data centers will never get built, and OpenAI's Abilene data center doesn't won't have the power it needs before 2028 - if it ever does. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-bubbl...

These are all flagrant lies, unsourced yet printed in a newspaper that allegedly fact checks things. The rest of it is meandering panic-bait that treats jail breaking LLMs. They don’t even describe the virus! They just said someone made one. Bullshit!

One cool feature of Steam is they provide a Harassment Zone for each game you announce. It's a place for people who hate progress to come and crap all over games they haven't even played. No, they won't help you moderate it, but hey, at least you can't delete it!

damn. hoping it at least signifies something

We could have replaced actual football games with AI players on a simulated field a LONG time ago - we could have pulled this off by simply televising people playing Madden even before that. Imagine the money executives would save! How mysterious that this never took off.

Hey, this sucks. Like... a lot. 📚 --- UNC schools of data science and information science to merge, forming unnamed ‘School of AI’ www.dailytarheel.com/article/univ...

"The consumers won't care if it's AI." Ah yes, horror fans -- y'know, the people who famously ask "Are the FX Practical?!" about literally every movie -- definitely won't care that you're feeding them prompt-generated slop. Good call there.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

^ "If you search for 'AI is here to stay' on Twitter, you’ll see the guys who still have Bored Ape NFT icons."

This is enough carbon-free energy to power maybe two thirds of Vegas btw

they can see the polling

it's kind of wild that a guy died a little while ago and the government swore we would reap the whirlwind and that his widow would lead a howling army of valkyries across the galaxy and then the most you heard about it since was the secretary of domestic war saying they arrested the wife of antifa

Maybe instead of spending every minute that he has a platform trying to make people scared of LGBTQ+ children Matt Walsh could have commented once on how the people he helped put in power are giving billions in taxpayer funding to AI tech

At this point, the only thing GenAI people and their 'early adopters'/dupes can say is 'HERE TO STAY. HERE TO STAY.' over and over again, because if they repeat it enough times, it will make it true. They have no other argument left other than to say that they've already won, resistance is futile

Arrest her?

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Every time you think things can’t get worse for Halo (and Xbox), you’re proven wrong.

It's so embarrassing to have a president selling shitty knockoff Rolex watches on Newsmax

He won by paying $1 million to show that everyone hates his product

“Baby in her placenta” is pretty bad for a HHS secretary but it’s arguably worse for a guy with six kids. It’s impossible to not learn this stuff as a dad if you’re even remotely paying attention just once.

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”

It is also remarkable how far what is essentially advertising copy has penetrated into ostensibly neutral, scholarly contextualizations even of critical studies — rote invocations of AI’s “power,” “potential,” and ubiquity, untethered to any specific sources or data, are just background noise now.

Imagine studying a technology whose presence in the classroom is so detrimental to the development of writing and research skills (including even the will to know the sources behind claims!) that mitigating its effects becomes a central goal of course design, and concluding with tips on adopting it.

I would respect this whole conversation a lot more if "We have to use AI" finished truthfully with "because powerful people are forcing us" instead of leaving it like it could be pixies

Really sad to hear about the passing of George Miller today

"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

Is there any chance that Trump tries to sabotage the peace deal in Gaza after he fails to win the Nobel Peace Prize? It’s the kind of thing that only the most cartoonish villain would attempt in the most ridiculous fiction, which makes me think it’s absolutely going to happen.

Every single AI data center is a toxic investment, with most of its value tied up in GPUs that will be multiple generations behind by the time these things turn on - and then die in 3-5 years. All to build for AI demand that doesn't exist. edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...
