So, what are the odds that was a person typing that misspelled it and a GenAI that predicted an s instead of a d? I'm guessing the first, but oh how delicious if it was the second.

Saw a headline that said, "Disney Hit by Layoffs" as though Disney themselves weren't the ones initiating the layoffs.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

Fisrt, that's how health insurance works. Second, what, exactly, is the fraud here? Paying for insurance and not using it benefits who (other than the insurance companies) and how?

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

I guess that the best argument, for me, against AI is that everyone advocating it seems to be a psychopath.

According to my nonexistent sources, Trump officials state they, "didn't realize anyone would check their work" before proceeding down their usual playbook of blaming Biden and, somehow still, Obama.

GenAI? The slop machine saw a blonde woman off to the side of Trump and based on available data assumed it had to be Natalie? Whatever it is, it's weird.

Big names in AI and Silicon Valley tech announced yesterday that they're launching a boarding academy for 16 to 22 year olds. (Would you trust the people in this scene with keeping an eye on minors?) theacademysf.com

Thrilled to announce our latest incubation: Horowitz Andreessen Academy.

Horowitz Andreessen Academy will be a two-year residential program in San Francisco for 16 to 22 year olds.

My biggest regret from my college experience is how divorced it was from the real world (both practically but also intellectually)

HAA is the opposite. Students will learn from real-world practitioners and intellectuals; including founders (Sam Altman, Brian Armstrong, Jensen Huang), investors (Elad Gil, Daniel Gross), and professors (Agnes Callard, Tyler Cowen), among hundreds of others. The Academy is the educational experience I wish I had.

In 1984, the educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom published a paper about how the average student who received one-on-one tutoring focused on mastery techniques performed better than 98% of the control group. For generations, this was viewed as unrealistic to implement even if it produced the best outcomes.

The system trained specifically on hacking data that then did exactly what is in its training data did not "break containment" it did exactly what it was built to do in the way it was trained to do it and I'm so tired of listening to people act like its some kind of proof of AGI.

Once you understand the corporate culture of AI hyperscalers is everyone cooking their brains by locking themselves in the bathroom, holding flashlights under their chins, and saying "Aaaaaaaaaay Eyeeeeeee" until they wet themselves in terror, things snap into focus: pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/a...

A cutaway view of a stone tower containing an elaborate water-powered medieval geared machine. Rising out of the machine is a rainbow-tinted, pixelated God with the robes, beard and all. To one side of this scene is a cluster of tiny people in Jesus-era robes, falling about themselves in religious ecstasy all over a stone staircase, atop of which stands a robed priest with his hands upraised. The background is a set of shining golden rays, emanating from pixel-God.

Has anyone informed Trump that a Russiam Trans metal band is touring the country and playing Christmas concerts? I just really want to hear him go off about the commies taking Christmas and making it trans.

Except they won't. Ever. If any of these corporations self-regulated we wouldn't be where we are with AI companies making up something like 45% of the stock market and passing around the same billions booked like it's profit for all of them.

Jeff Bezos and I are very different people. For one thing, he is a sociopathic billionaire who built his fortune by monopolizing bookselling while I am a penniless author of books. He was born in 1964 and is 62; I was born in 1971 and am 55.

Mitch McConnell disappeared for three months & kept his full salary. Disabled people are forced to prove they’re “still disabled” just to remain in legislated poverty. Folks on SNAP must re-apply and prove they’re “still poor”. Republican Senators don’t even have to prove they’re alive.

Arizona’s intense heat is showing no mercy to homeless people living in their cars. In some cases, entire families cannot find housing, leaving them with no alternative.
