The trouble with teleology is it is a brilliant bit of human reasoning *and* the platform from which we dive headfirst onto concrete.

Old enough to remember Warner Communications. Old enough to remember Time Warner. Old enough to remember AOL Time Warner. Old enough to remember WarnerMedia (AT&T), Old enough to remember Warner Bros Discovery… the Ellison acquision sucks but let’s not pretend Warner is some old school indie

There are fulcrum tasks for AI personal agents to help some people. And then there's the mountain of tasks that already have adequate alternatives and little to no benefit being done by AI.

Upon conclusion, I think it started as what I assumed would be a more grounded film and ended in what felt like a less hallucinatory Philip K Dick novel. Bitingly cynical.

Indeed, I agree. I also found his critique of mass education and activism a bit lacking. But his criticism of health and wellness, anti-science views, and managerial aspirations were prescient.

I have about an hour left. I think a lot of my view of the movie is informed by the fact that I recently read the Culture of Narcissism by Lasch. Which was on my figurative end table for a decade.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

AI in journalism is something that may well kill off the industry. Not because people won't write or read. But the credibility will be shred by campaigns like this.

10/16 games were decided by a td or less. (12/16 if you include the 2 8pt diff. games) Is it parity, or is it just week 3?

Both of these are highly probable. Importantly, chicken is the most popular meat in America by a mile. So I also think they're trying to stay relevant as Popeyes and Chik-fil-a rake in dollars.

One thing I don't think businesses, particularly small businesses, think about in spamming AI translations: if you have many of your services translated into, say, Spanish. But you don't employ enough Spanish speakers to carry potential demand...why did you do that?

That is, you need localization specialization (translators) and to understand how humans try to convey messaging (VO/Translators) to push your product/service over the edge. But for the basics, it does a solid job.

A twist in the realm of freelance translators and voice actors (I'm from the former and orbit the latter) is it has increased wages for experts in the field but obliterated hobbyists and entry level work.

Fwiw it already is socially significant. Data center construction has boomed jobs for non-college educated folks. And the political backlash to data centers will be integral to politics this year thru to '28. Whether any of it pans out to further integration and labor change, who knows.

I do continue to be surprised at how naive researchers can be about this, even when they are incredibly aggressive (sometimes to the point of real nonsense thinking) about humans scooping them.

With the added benefit of no one department or college being able to claim the course loads or student evaluations as their own. They also had a STEM version that was, in essence, physics of poets/biology for language artists. All faculty and departments were frustrated by this.

My phd uni consolidated all humanities and social science surveys into an academic tract that offered no major (integrated arts and humanities/integrated social science) in which faculty and grad students from each department essentially taught their surveys to 200-350 students a semester.
