What percent of Twain's corpus is still read? How many people know a Yeats poem other than the one about "when you are old and gray and full of sleep" ? Names like Shakespeare, Dickens, Hemingway have batting averages for "classics" around 0.3. If AI eats the "mid" work, we are all out of a job.

Like the complaint for ages about pop music, about TV, and more recently about youtube/tiktok/etc is precisely that it's all mid! Even if we assume ai (which again is now winning literary prizes when the judges are blind to it) could never replace great art... most art isn't great!

And it's worth noting, the great artists were often sustained by making or helping in the making of mid stuff! Wodehouse wrote the three greatest comic novels in English and about 70 novels that are generic Edwardian light comedy.

I think it's not a great argument against AI eating a lot of the arts to say that AI can't be creative/original. Setting aside the question of whether they can... does *most* art strike you as extremely original? The vast majority of people, including great artists most of the time are mid.

the brand safety panopticon has come to twitch

Streamers, wary of both AI and YouTube’s infuriatingly un-transparent hall of mirrors, are not enthused about this new development.

“Ohhh so that’s why ad revenue dropped,” longtime streamer JP "itmeJP" McDaniel said on Twitter.

“I’m genuinely worried that the sheer fact that I’m a lesbian will cause the AI to remove ads,” said Vtuber LuminusRed. “In the past I’ve tested it and confirmed that I get less ad money if I had queer-related tags on my stream like ‘lesbian,’ so I am worried this dumb AI monitoring will mean I no longer get money from ads on Twitch.”

I will say one thing that has kept me sane with AI everywhere is comparing it to McDonald’s burgers. Mass produced for cheap at shit quality. A lot of people eat it BUT there is still a market for freshly made high quality burgers because there are still some folks with taste.

A thing I learned not too long ago is that when an LLM selects a token that leads it down an incorrect path (factually), it has no way to back up, or even know that it should back up, it's just on to the next likely bit. Literally every LLM is just posting their way through it. What an image.

There is a cottage industry on that other site of people in official government legal jobs affirmatively misstating or misrepresenting what rulings are about and then expressing surprise that anyone could possibly disagree. Just the latest example—from the Solicitor General of Iowa:

“Can President Trump use lawful authority granted by Congress to deport illegal aliens to third countries? The Supreme Court has stayed an order saying no twice, now stayed a permanent injunction for a third time. Oddly, 6-3 despite a similar posture to the Missouri First map”

Like, of course it's very offensive now, but you can have a whole performance that seems to have little to do with race at all, other than the glaring costume. Or if it does, it'll be like a skit or two? But like a guy might just get up, completely in blackface, and sing showtunes?

Due to some reading I ended up in a wikipedia rabbit hole about Al Jolson, and I realized I'd never actually scene a blackface performance, even though they were still happening within the lifetime of my parents. The dominant impression was just.., how *strange* it is?
