look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

Having Opinions about specific versions of LLMs feels a lot like Knowing Your IQ. Like, I understand that you believe it's important, but it's telling me much more about you than you think it is, and not in any kind of good way

When you hear a fantastical story about AI, you should ask yourself, "How does this serve the political project of AI?" Because, as others have pointed out, that's what AI really amounts to: a political project.

If you or someone in your house is not trans, the only thing you should ever think about trans kids is “How might I brighten their day should I come across one?” Beyond that, you’re a fucking weirdo who is extremely useful to nazis.

I'm fascinated by U.S. tech and business journalism because it doesn't adhere to literally any rules of actual journalism. There's no effort to actually explain objective truth; they can't even so much as hint at the fact there's funny math here and the company isn't worth anything close to this

CORSICA.BMF
A blue Chevy Corsica, a ubiquitous sedan in the early 1990s but now largely forgotten. If you ever rented a car between the years 1987 and 1995, chances are it was a Corsica. Samantha rented a Corsica, only once, at PDX. She drove the four hours to Gold Hill to see at long last the Oregon Vortex. For most people the Oregon Vortex was a cheesy roadside attraction, a place where balls roll uphill and you know it’s contrived but you’re delighted in the wonders of the illusion. For Samantha, though, the Oregon Vortex was a pilgrimage. It was proof. Proof that what she witnessed in the woods when she ran away from home those many years ago was real. How when she lay in the forest on a bed of moss, the ferns surrounding her like pinnated green curtains, she took off her ring and dropped it, and the ring fell up.

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.
We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

In 1998, the factory 911 GT1-98 ran Michelins and won Le Mans. This car, an identical GT1-98, was sponsored by Pirelli and ran Pirelli tires. It failed to qualify for Le Mans. I think about this a lot

It's scary to accept this, but know that the vast majority of people believe that AI is the next big thing because a bunch of rich/powerful people spent a lot of money, and the media repeated their plans as if they were already complete because spent so much money.

I love how we know that OpenAI is selling a product 80% of people HATE, has been cooking their books for years under the leadership of a guy who has had everything he touches crash and burn, and corprate news sites are still out here going "Hmmm, why are people leaving? It's so successful!"

My weird pet theory is that ‘Lightning’ should have been its own brand for Ford’s EVs. As soon as you put that big blue oval on the car/truck, I think you lose some % of buyers who want something ‘cool and new,’ especially EV shoppers
