It does seem like some people are indeed responding to Digger, but the more I sit on it, the more it offers up its cartoonishness as its own satire of itself and praises itself for its (non-existent) comedy, while also chastising its own audience for it enjoying it and how toothless it is.

"we can't make video games without AI" only makes sense if you think video games were invented about three years ago. anyway, here's doom played on an old calculator powered by potatoes

EVEN IF generative AI... had guardrails against abuse (it doesn't) was good for the environment (it's not) and was accurate all the time (not even close) it was still created by scraping billions of works of creative labour without consent, compensation, or even notification.

I often appreciate like Oremus's writing, but this is just the same old, "artists don't get it" argument again, when many of us very much do "get it". Artists generally love new innovations in creative tech. It's telling that we are pushing back hard on generative AI. We have good reasons.

Probably a sign I need more sleep that I keep laughing at this Lego manual page. Instruction: Block. You need: Block. Step 1: Have Block.
A Lego instruction manual page. A single flat 4x2 piece alone in a grey void, somehow perfectly encapsulating the feeling of a Sunday afternoon when you've got work in the morning.

You would think a company like Nvidia which is depending on the public embrace of "AI" would take the hit and sell things at a lower cost to keep resentment at bay. It's almost like they're trying to grab all the money they can right now, and have no faith in their long-term prospects ...

The thing about the “no, you don’t understand AI could be used for good people” is that they're constantly yelling at the people pointing out the harm happening now, and I don’t see a ton being done to make this hypothetical good come to fruition.

If you're going to blow $170 million on a trainwreck folly that has no hope in hell of making a profit, you might as well make it interesting enough to pick over the rubble. Digger is unique, at least. That's not the same as good.

Man, you have to love it. People have been pleading for year for movies that weren't franchises and superheroes, so they gave us Digger. I honestly think they're trying to punish us.

Digger: Tom Cruise's oil tycoon causes a catastrophic disaster in Alejandro G. Iñárritu's self-aware dark comedy. A rather acrid, oddly unpleasant experience, somewhat on purpose, but thrown off-balance because it is almost never funny, and a bit too on-the-nose, so nothing offsets its bitterness.

Trump’s ‘Morally Binding’ New AI Guardrails Are Meaningless Pudding
Corporations have long enjoyed creating toothless "self-regulatory" regimes that exist primarily to pre-empt real government oversight. While the quality of these orgs can vary somewhat, generally they're just a toothless pantomime designed to pretend that corporate power can effectively police itself for ethical and competitive breaches. U.S. history has a thing or two to say...

At the leadership level anyway the two parties are "represents billionaires with openly racist beliefs" and "represents billionaires who have mostly submerged their racist and genocidal beliefs." Which is why you can't get any party leadership to sign up for transformative change the people want.
