Sometimes I come across a screenshot of a normie using ChatGPT with memory on (viz. this from TikTok via Twitter) and people get crazy cooked even just through bare chatbot interactions. Persistent interaction with long-running agents via texting/voice will be another 4o style mass psychosis event.

That's like what I always say about predictive policing: it cannot predict crime, it can only criminalize a person's proximity to police activity.

The famous sociologist slash rhetorical scholar Kenneth Burke once posited that self-help book fill a function by making you feel like you are doing the thing, without necessarily leading to you actually doing the thing. I sense that this notion, formulated in the 60s, might be relevant again

This is piling on, but there is no Section 109, Row 1 for Atlanta Hawks games in State Farm Arena.

A chart from GOP senate staffers showing a text message from Jack Smith's staff asking if Section 109, Row 1 was reserved for Jack.

For basketball games at State Farm Arena, there is no row labeled "Row 1."
Instead, the very first row of Section 109 for basketball is labeled Row AA.
How the Rows Work in Section 109
The rows in Section 109 do not follow a standard numerical order. They are split into double-letter and single-letter configurations:
• Premium Club Seats (Closest to Court): The rows start at Row AA (the true front row of the section) and run through Row NN.
• Standard Lower Bowl Seats: The section continues further back with Row P through Row X.

Meanwhile, the Cat Dispersal Process continues unabated.

Four panels showing the arduous process of adopting a dog, such as going to a shelter, finding one that looks at you, filling out paperwork, and bringing the dog home.

This is followed by two panels where she is living comfortably before a cat unexpectedly crashes into her life, specifically through the ceiling, which is only slightly an exaggeration most of the time.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

This is both (a) the result of carelessness in the guardrails and (b) an unavoidable outcome with *all* AI. You can do better on (a) to mitigate when/how (b) occurs but a probabilistic model built to have essentially unlimited functionality will sometimes go bonkers. That's inherent to to the tech.

Same, but I was lucky enough to be surrounded by adults who were very, very smart, so much so that any “I am just smarter than everyone, and that’s why the masses don’t like me” stuff was just risible. I think I’m also temperamentally disinclined to this, but luckily I never got to test that.
