Getting a bit tired of very rich actors and directors saying ‘AI is here we have to learn how to use it’ instead of ‘I am wealthy enough to dedicate myself only to projects which employ talented human beings because anything else is an existential threat to human storytelling’

Millions of people rely on the information they obtain via a search engine corporation which just proved it would alter digital reality if instructed to do so by those in political power. That’s some crazy shit, Google.

There's a really great book about Luddites called Blood in the Machine by @bcmerchant.bsky.social that connects their movement to what we're going through now really well. Highly recommend!

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

My husband and I started a non-profit to help surrendered dogs in CA by pledging, supporting rescues, and back end funds. We hoped to help 100 dogs by the end of the year and we’re there! Much more to do but feels great. Here are a few of our happy tails. www.zeffy.com/en-US/peer-t...

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

Why is this just so crazy to read from him. Explaining how the robots are not human. Just spelling it out
tangible benefits across many fields. Yet this power remans entirely tied to data
processing. So-called artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate language, behavior and analytical skills, or even simulate empathy and understanding, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. Even when these tools are described as capable of
"corning " their woy of doing co ic difforont

I disagree and this is kind of a bad take. the vast majority of science fiction across formats, including in text, on both the big and silver screens, and in video games, are largely cautionary tales in some form or another. failing to see those cautionary tales speaks to declining media literacy

People need to start to understand what happens when you fire the inspectors.
Screenshot of a tweet from Headquarters reporting that RFK Jr. has fired all CDC Vessel Sanitation Program inspectors who investigate cruise ship outbreaks, at the same time that a deadly Hantavirus outbreak is rapidly spreading on a cruise ship at sea. Includes a split image of Trump and RFK Jr. in the White House alongside an aerial photo of a cruise ship.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.
