They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

The fallacy that University leaders pushing AI are falling into is thinking that the point of undergraduate research is to find things out. It isn't. What students find out is typically already generally known. The point of undergraduate research is to learn how to find things out.

As a result, Armstrong has no plans to start a charity or a foundation.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: in a diner, a waitress looks over her shoulder to watch a TV mounted on the wall. A news reporter is one screen, surrounded with text that reads FOUR DEAD and DEVELOPING STORY. The reporter says, “please be advised— the murderer is still at large.” Panel 2: the reporter continues, “here’s their photo.” He gestures with his pen towards a photo next to him. The photo is a guinea pig wearing a multicolored propeller hat. Panel 3: the waitress watches the TV pensively. Behind her at the diner counter is a guinea pig in a propeller hat, seated before a plate with an entire head of lettuce. This may be the murderer in question but at this stage I’d only be speculating.

Dolly Parton's passing is effortlessly proving that if you spend your life being nice and kind and generous instead of mean and cruel and selfish, then apologists for mean cruel selfish bullies won't have to go around scolding people for cheering when you die, because there will be no cheering.

a six foot tall woman can do whatever she wants forever honestly
A strange wall of blue and white text outside the bathroom at the Chesapeake house rest stop on i95.  The largest part of the text reads “A SIX-FOOT TALL WOMAN” in massive letters, which naturally titillates my attention.  The full text reads “The Chesapeake Bay is surprisingly shallow.  A SIX FOOT TALL WOMAN (in all caps) can wade through over 700,000 acres of the Bay without wetting her hat.”  There are also a bunch of other random bay-relatedwords collaged in all directions around the edge of it, saying things like “ecosystem, fresh, ocean, shallow, fascinating, Susquehanna, terrapin, fun” etc.  If you’re gonna make the centerpiece of the work massive text that says “A SIX FOOT TALL WOMAN” maybe you should also include some words in the collage like “#FEMINISM” and “LESBIAN LUST”.

trying to learn about audio equipment and intentionally looking for stores with one star reviews so i know the person at the shop is an enthusiast and not a businessperson
A Google review of an audio store reads: "Worst phone interaction I've ever had in my entire life. I called to ask if they had an electrostatic headphone amp, I was informed that it was a waste of money to own electrostatic headphones. Then I tried to say that I know a lot about headphones and own many and that I am just looking for an amplifier, but then I was interrupted and told that I don't know anything. Wild!"A Google review of an audio store reads: "I normally have tremendous empathy for the mentally ill but not with this guy. He's abusive, slanderous and bizarrely demanding -- and that's if he likes you. Maybe he can still repair stuff but I wouldn't know; I walked away after the third time he screamed at me for asking a simple question and that's no exaggeration. Actual screaming. Just wild."

Four panel comic. Panel 1: a grey alien emerges from its UFO in front of a crowd of people standing below. The alien says, “earthlings… surrender now… we are—“ Panel 2: the first alien is interrupted by a second, different species of squid-like alien emerging from its ship. The second alien says, “humans! Prepare for—“ Panel 3: the two aliens quickly notice each other, looking surprised. Panel 4: the two aliens are laughing hysterically with their arms around each other amicably, each pointing to the other in a joking manner. This is the third time this has happened. A small group of onlooking humans stand behind them uncomfortably.
