A friend gave me this phrase and I continue to appreciate it for framing controversial ideas, “Let me bullshit you some crazy.”

in the days since members have fled the discord, the chatbot wished people happy holidays and of course the anthropic exec responded and you just have to read this lmfao www.404media.co/anthropic-ex...

Varang was such a promising villain that I was willing to overlook the fact that the entire movie is Spider’s fault—and then she fizzles out (that’s a fire joke) entirely once she hitches her wagon to a man?!? #movies boxd.it/c88ZRz

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

🚨 THE RESULTS ARE IN 🚨 After a week of voting on 32 of the worst people in the tech industry, we have a winner! The Worst Person in Tech for 2025 is… 🚀 ELON MUSK 🎉

I’m pissed that we’re all going to have a shitty 10-15 years economically because a dozen techboys believed that it was possible to write code to the point that the program could write better code and eventually either kill us all or make us immortal, and so they spent $1.5tn for $41bn in revenue

Machine-learned AI is terrible for idea generation. The algorithm is designed to *produce the most predictable next token* Even as you try to push it to originality, it fights you and tries to pull it back to the most average tropes. Its a PREDICTABILITY MACHINE.

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

Per my last re-post, twice this year I've been commissioned to write reviews of harms that can arise from the use of LLMs and then, as we surface the harms, told it's not appropriate to be political. But LLMs are a deeply extractive technology, they are political by design.

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. abovethelaw.com/2025/12/pent...

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

💯 but also wasn’t “AI” meant to eliminate all of the goddamn effort? Takes weeks and 10s of thousands of prompts to make shit. You get what you deserve.

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!

Hoo boy. Been there, done that. More than once. ♥️

I just published "The Hidden Cost of AI Coding" As AI coding tools make us more productive, are we sacrificing the joy that made us fall in love with programming? terriblesoftware.org/2025/04/23/t...

The robots are coming... but why?

"Most everyone finds writing to be challenging. This is because writing is an intentional, thoughtful act. “AI” has recently exacerbated the misbelief that writing is simply an output. In fact, it’s a creative process that has merit in and of itself." #AI #writing matthogg.fyi/wherein-i-fi...

Turns out it didn't have legs

I was hoping for more early 1900s American lingo—“Now listen here, bub. The problem with fantastic beasts is ya never where to find ‘em, see?” #movies boxd.it/bXrrFj

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

One of those films where you can just tell they had a gosh darn fun time hanging out on set I bet. #movies boxd.it/bP2qep

A nice benefit of the premise of #pluribus is that there’s no exposition. The closest we get is when Carol asks questions or records videos. And still, those are naturally what someone in her position would be doing. Info is slowly deployed and really plays to Gilligan’s storytelling style.

Look, Nvidia thought it was a gaming company and OpenAI thought it was a charity so if you're expecting either of those companies to have some master plan to avoid the bubble popping you need to look elsewhere.

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

"The ego can be an amorphous thing. Empathy and humility are lofty ideals. So, it can seem daunting to figure out how to manage them at work. The good news is that there are many tools ... to choose from and iterate. The pay off [is] immediate." #career #leadership matthogg.fyi/my-working-p...

"In our daily lives empathy and humility are obvious virtues we aspire to. They keep our egos in check. Less obvious is that they’re practical skills in the workplace, too. [T]he absence of ego is the [w]ay to further our careers and do great work." #career #leadership matthogg.fyi/a-unified-th...

Really buries the main event under wasted running time and a questionable sporting competition—drowning children?!?—all to keep the mid-2000s British Actors Employment Program going for yet another year. Tsk, tsk. #movies boxd.it/bOO5YN

A small town packed with every kind of moron bouncing off of each other might be an apt representation of America since 2020 but it doesn’t make for a great film. #movies boxd.it/bLr8Sv

I like Alan Ritchson and I badly want him to make me laugh but the editing is unhinged, the ADR is outlandish, and at the end of the movie he kills a hundred child soldiers in an explosion. #movies boxd.it/bKQ5sl
