in humanoid robot movies the dilemma is always "the robot is programmed to perform humanity's grimmest tasks, but cannot love or be loved and will never feel the joy of holding a baby in its arms" but tech bros are like "great news, I just coded BabyHoldr 4.1 so I don't have to hold my baby anymore"

GPS is probably the single clearest parallel to what AI is doing to human knowledge now. Before GPS, you would memorize routes (as well as an ability to improvise when needed), which allowed you to drive intuitively most of the time. Driving was sort of fun and definitely easier as a result.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Would have been real cool to watch Atlanta’s first playoff game with H today instead of on the laptop in my office. He would have loved watching Riley hit that homer. Would have made a nice father/son memory. But I’m sure MLB knows what they’re doing putting games on at 1:00 on weekdays

I know it's a fabricated claim, but we all have a moral imperative to speak up on this issue: Anyone who willingly pays money to watch the Atlanta Hawks play basketball is unfit for office. Needs to be a red line issue. We cannot normalize this.

In 2023, the various longstanding flaws of Lincoln Riley teams got pinned on a defensive coordinator named Alex Grinch. You'd have thought The Grink was the head coach. This year, Riley's defense is worse than when The Grink Was There, 115th in YPP allowed, tied with an especially Rutgersy Rutgers

“Why shouldn’t I custom-generate all of my child’s media?” Because the point of children’s literature, music, art, and movies is not to optimize leisure time, it is to provide your children with cultural, emotional, societal, and epistemic touch points via which they can relate to the wider world.

Hardly shocked it didn't make NYT list but I do hope people know/remember that 'Flight of the Conchords' wasn't just a goofy fish-out-of-water musical comedy about two under-talented musicians but also one of the century's bleakest (and funniest) shows about urban loneliness and artistic futility
