The mentality of intentionally mistyping an actual living person's name to avoid looking like you said AI might be good is certainly... Present.

Great article, AL! (sorry for the capital L, but this way it doesn’t look like AI).

This motherfucker is literally quoting his own article on the same site in this article. QUALITY JOURNALISM

In May, 404 Media wrote that Character.ai’s changes are “what AI enshittification looks like,” with tons of ads, usage limits, guardrails, and “lobotomized” models. In the bankruptcy filing, Adams essentially admits that this enshittification was the strategy: “Character has, however, taken significant

Ah, yes, the very cheap hobby of *checks notes* having your own personal plane

Which hobby has gotten too expensive for ordinary people to enjoy?

Owning a new general aviation aircraft.

in 1972, a Cessna 172 cost about 1.3x the average US salary.

Today a new 172 runs at about 6x the average US salary.

As someone with a HUGE amount of Lego? No. Lego has not 'become' expensive, it's always been mid-priced, and it's absurdly easy to pick up bulk shit, buy stuff on bricklink, etc. ... stop buying licensed sets.

Lego prices are ridiculous. It's just plastic, come on.

In my experience, it's the exact opposite. People consistently claim porn's addictive, but say phones/soc media aren't. (Personally? Yeah, both are addictive)

It’s odd how almost everyone universally agrees that smart phones and social media can be addictive, but many refuse to admit that porn can also be addictive.

I found it - it's in Introduction to computer programming.

A page from an Usborne book of computer programming, showing a person handing a letter to a robot saying 'Please post this letter'. The person then imagines the robot leaving the house, posting the letter, and coming back home. The final panel shows the robot smashing through a brick fence holding the letter with 'I MUST POST THIS LETTER', and a list of what instructions really should've been given on the left. There's a bit of text exaplaining: you need to break down instructions into smaller steps, and be specific - the robot will attempt to follow your instructions even if they are wrong or incomplete.

mmm, yes, the model was too dangerous to release. *checks notes* ... in 2019.

Our model, called GPT‑2 (a successor to GPT⁠), was trained simply to predict the next word in 40GB of Internet text. Due to our concerns about malicious applications of the technology, we are not releasing the trained model. As an experiment in responsible disclosure, we are instead releasing a much smaller model⁠(opens in a new window) for researchers to experiment with, as well as a technical paper⁠(opens in a new window).

*stifles laughter* ... the painting is over ten years old.

It says "edition of 95" (which doesn't mean 1995, mind you)

but also "Hand embellished giclee on canvas" which means it's a physical picture, WHICH IS A TECHNIQUE OF PRINTING

"giclée (pronounced zhee-klay) is a high-resolution, archival-quality digital fine art reproduction created using professional inkjet printers."

So yeah it's quite possible they're selling an AI slop picture with "hand embellishments" (aka they touched it with paintbrush a few times) for 750 bucks

Which is a shame because otherwise this is a badass pic? Like, it friggin slaps. And it's slop. I'm sad
