I did as they said, I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone. Now I’m uncomfortable, with more responsibility and pressure that what I feel capable of. Every success is just panic-induced scraping by. Perhaps the seemingly self-imposed limitations of my anxiety were objective assessments

I REALLY like this @anildash.com piece on 'unalive' and algospeak in general, particularly the exploration of the implications for a generation of people growing up steeped in it.

My 3-year-old niece was showing me her book about wolf pups & the moon cycles. She flipped through it pointing at the different cool things, then flipped to the back dust jacket, pointed at a picture in the corner, & said “and this is Dolly!” because Dolly’s foundation help pay to publish the book 😭

Driving to work shaving with an electric razor, calling my bookie to put a bet on, rifling around the litter in my passenger’s seat to find a lighter, for my cigarette, rolling down the window shouting abuse at some cunt, then I realised I wasn’t a 70’s TV detective & just went to work as normal.

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."

There's nothing magical about it, "AI" doesn't think, it's just software & bad software at that. Which is why investment has started to cool down & all these companies that aren't already IPO'd are hoping to get there to save themselves or, get in with the government so they're "too big to fail".

One of the best takedowns of the "rationalists" and Libertarians is in Fargo, season 5: Roy: "I want freedom without arbitrary rules.” Lorraine: "So you want freedom without responsibility? Son, there's only one person on Earth who gets that deal." Roy: "The President?" Lorraine: "A baby.”

reminder: if you want to ditch streaming for physical media, it doesn’t have to be costly. You can get an affordable DVD player from a secondhand store & check out DVDs from your local library. A one-time cost of about $20 (price I paid) for the DVD player & a free library card is all you need

One thing that astounds me about “AI” is these companies have small revenue streams, substantial debt, & no forecast for turning a profit; everyone that is proselytizing it are the ones selling it. Purely from a business standpoint, those are red flags that it’s a bad investment. Just pissing away $

You ever just have a “I know this isn’t a thing but it sure feels like it is”? Like how Millennials were pushed by our parents - primarily boomers - to go to college, which had this real handy side effect of creating a working class whose education allowed them to be discounted as working class

History classes have done a massive disservice by not teaching the impact of Calvinism on American philosophy. Like right here: why would healthy people need insurance? If you’re healthy, you’re favored by god, so you don’t need insurance, because only those not-favored get sick & you’re not sick….

It is this opinion of this former Missourian that this entire Congressional map thing will end with the map Republicans want being used. Not because it’s right or legal or that the court found for them. But because they intend to, and won’t let things like democracy or legality get in the way
