The first brand-new MST3K episode STING OF DEATH is available right now, immediately, at once, other words to indicate that concept! If you missed it in movie theaters, now’s your chance. You can also order a package of this plus the three next eps in various formats, as they come out. Enjoy!

The proposition of sentience or intelligence is part of the AI Industry’s agnotology gambit. Just as Big Tobacco funded red herring research to flood public discourse with doubt, so this industry poses inane talking points as existential questions and even funds research into them.

Fascinating story about how the social dynamics of people who don't think of themselves as a management class torpedoed the unionisation efforts at Double Fine, and how that meant the majority of the staff fired this summer were attempted union members.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Everybody show me your bookmarks from defunct bookstores. Taylors was once a big chain where I grew up; I bought most of my SF/F paperbacks there. Late in their existence they started selling used books in addition to new, but they closed a long time ago.
Closeup on my hand, holding a paper bookmark. It has a black background and five seven-pointed stars shooting ip on rays of color. The t at the bottom reads “Dallas Arlington Fort Worth Plano Irving / Taylors bookstores (copyright) 1987”

Your gentle reminder that the selection at @bookshop.org is just as good as at Amazon, and that using them doesn’t enrich someone who’s never missed an opportunity to fall on his knees and kiss an authoritarian’s jackboots. Seriously, what’s the point of “fuck you” money if you’re this servile?

It’s weird but true that to me, “automated” and “algorithmic,” words that once separated robotic behavior from human control, now signify human control in that a human mind and not a stochastic parrot developed and implemented the controlling sequence

To expand on this: Bigotry isn't a result of an innocent misunderstanding, or not having all the facts. It's not a choice made rationally, defeated with a rational argument. Bigotry is a self-protective, foundational belief used to help make the world make sense to them. Debate won't change that.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Saturn Rises Behind A World of Haze - From Ian Regan - flic.kr/p/2fpiy2Z
The Saturn image—captured on May 4, 2005—was created using raw monochrome images taken with the Cassini spacecraft's wide-angle camera (WAC) via red, green and blue filters. Assembly by Val Klavans.

The Titan image—captured on March 31, 2005—was created in a manner similar to that of the Saturn composite. Assembly by Val Klavans.

These two color composites were merged in Paint Shop Pro 9, using a special 'mask' layer, created by Ian Regan and Val Klavans.
