I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

It's a comfort to see Betty Gilpin is still on the crusade to destroy AI that she started on in Mrs. Davis. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

They’ve heard the cries of the people and it’s that they love porno but wish it felt sadder and more lonely

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

as I head back on tour, it feels like the right time to post this comprehensive guide to guitar straps

The purpose of government is not to maximize earnings to investors

I think sometimes we are all Sherman.

Trump has always basically been a "human" LLM, taking the work of others and slapping his name on it.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

So fucking cool. Insane INSANE to me that the US govt isn’t tripping over itself to get in on this & be rich (and um, exist?) forever.

this is incredible

Okay, funny bookstore category

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

Just read the whole damn thing that goes into the very depressing state of the numbers and the math that isn't mathing, but this is a very succinct representation of a specific type of feneric Executive (Dys)Function:

Apropos of nothing a full page ad from the Onion

Pushing AI into everything right now makes sense because we’re in the thick of an anti-expertise era, and everything it “makes” relies on malicious dilettantes believing that whatever it spits out is good enough for whatever industry or consumer base to which it’s parasitically affixing itself.

If I controlled an animation studio- any animation studio- I would jump both feet forth. Alas- for good or bd- I do not.

I miss machine learning as the buzzword. It promised less

This should be the opening quote to The Big Short 2

Fuck yeah #Andor — this Dan Gilroy script just won the #Emmy for Outstanding Writing

Things I recommend instead of doomscrolling: -reaching out to a trusted group chat -cleaning your home -eating ice cream -playing with a pet -reading a book -donating to charity -writing in a journal -taking a hot shower -watching a standup comedy special -going to bed early

Someone asked me to listen to the latest Hard Fork episode on AI in schools, and I tried. 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/booster-shot...

It really does seem common sense that the success of a nation should be measured by how its poorest citizens are doing, and not its richest.

The AI authorship issue is real. We've caught papers that looked OK but had references to works by the *journal editors* that *do not exist*. Like, don't send us papers citing papers we know we didn't write, right?

at this point i can barely muster the strength to be disgusted at trump for this shit, but the hatred of a thousand suns goes out to the media thats just going to pretend this is normal and let it slide

OK, @bebeneuwirth.bsky.social, this is perfect…

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

If you think technology will solve your problems, you don't understand technology and you probably don't understand your problems either.

Aaaaand the main business case for consumer LLMs is revealed. It's for gathering data on users, creating profiles, and targeting us with ads and propaganda. Hooray -- it's Web 2.0 with chatbots!

gotta say i don’t love living in a world where anything that isn’t constantly exponentially growing must be failing

I just think it's weird that almost no one promotes A.I. unless they directly financially benefit from A.I.

It frankly boggles my mind that we have invented a computer that cannot do math.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

This is the peak Axios AI story. Workers are getting stressed because they’re under pressure to find something useful to do with AI. If they don’t investors will have bought into a bubble. Why do workers hate investors?

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well. publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-fi...

You’ve only got a job in AI because they haven’t worked out how to replace you yet.

Kindness is active, not passive

I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.

I know my position within the academy is different. I’m keenly aware. I know what the attacks on HE look like and that we are in no way suited to defend them. I’ve tried to hold my mule. But this? This makes me want to pop out so badly. You don’t have an ethical responsibility to use A.I.

the year is 2025 and I am still having to paste text from a (Microsoft) word document into a (Microsoft) notepad document before pasting it in to (Microsoft) SharePoint.

Microsoft copilot for Excel has a warning not to use it for “business critical” calculations because the answer may not be accurate. Would someone explain why I might *ever* want to use a spreadsheet where results are unreliable?

you’re so close

When all of this collapses I am going to demand an apology from every single person who told me this man was "super smart"

A video just appeared in my feed of a TedTalk style speech saying "you don't need to be a perfect prompter to be an artist. Write a bad prompt, then ask ChatGPT to improve the prompt for you." They're letting the autocomplete bandit give itself orders now, and think watching it happen is an art.
