Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

But the helmet has gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that work stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

AI companies made an imaginary friend who you talk to all day and are addicted to and now they can pitch big clients on "hey we got all these people on the hook and can push them to buy your product or vote for your guy and they'll trust the message because it's coming from their friend"

The reason they want more people to adopt chatbots is because that could theoretically create a new revenue stream by eliminating the need for marketing or advertising and just taking cash from brands/parties/etc to change what the chatbot tells the user.

If your goal is to push people to a product or service (or ideology!), you need to establish that AI is coming to these conclusions on its own, and therefore more trustworthy than someone with an obvious agenda. Chatbots can be leaned on by their owners, but most users don't know that.

Dark thread. Since we watched Musk literally push a "protect the Boers" button in real time with Grok, we now know people or companies could theoretically pay their way into putting a thumb on the scale for Grok/Claude/ChatGPT. This is why the AI stans want you to believe it's thinking

A woman existing (in public or private) is not an invitation to assault her, period. Ion care if she walked in there naked or in a nun's habit, that has no weight on where she ought to be assaulted. Bc when you ask those questions, you are saying ppl who do those things ought to be assaulted.

This thread, I think, makes a good distinction. The conduct of the Trump administration is no longer surprising or shocking, but it still does, and should, shock the conscience: a phrase that refers not to the unexpectedness, but the brazen cruelty of the actions.
