The main things LLMs are "good" for (spam, plagiarism, propaganda, catfishing, disinformation, impersonation, epistemic rupture) are bullshit things that should not be done at all, much less automated to be done at scale.

In short, AI is fundamentally anti-human and should not exist.

Ugh drunk texted my therapist "ZOHRANNNN" last night and now have to see him in person today, the milennial nightmare (he was also excited).

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

HUGE THING: 100,000 people volunteered for Mamdani. 1000s volunteering for the FIRST TIME. And they just won BIG. So that's a massive army of progressives HUNGRY to keep on winning. That's worth more than all the billionaires' money. We're going to keep working. And we're going to keep winning.

Thank you for this vignette @hellgatenyc.com. Much needed as we wait the last few hours.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

“Grocery stores throw out far more food than is shoplifted. Why don't shoplifters just take the food from the dumpster then. Because they have cameras on the dumpsters and security will be sent out when they see them on the monitors.” ~ mastodon.social/@AlSweigart/... Grapes of Wrath 1939:

Spotify is evil, boycott Spotify, also orders of magnitude matter in math and life! .003 (1/3 of a cent) not .0003; the best (Apple/tidal) are closer to 1 cent. big, important difference. Also important to know it’s 2-3x not 30x.

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement. After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

AI slopper bros degrading whatever brains they had so badly that they no longer have basic reading comprehension and therefore can't understand that the Torment Nexus is about what they create is just truly, perfectly ironic.
