There are many reasons to hate Generative AI in art and just about all of them are strong arguments. But here's one I don't recall seeing: AI does not navigate culture. Art is not merely a pastiche of what came before. It is a deliberate refraction of the artist's life and experience.

It's important to remember that the AI doom scenario assumes not only that intelligence is a single well-defined thing, but also that intelligence solves literally every single problem, and that in every conflict overwhelming intelligence always wins. This is just not how anything works.

Carney has a chance to show us there’s actually still a difference between his government and the one we’d have if Poilievre had won the election. Will he take it? Federal funding to help LGBTQ rights groups survive the attacks on their humanity is about to expire. He can do something about it:

Going to be real clear about this one: I am someone who has loudly said something like the first for years, while *also* now saying "LLMs may not living beings but you should treat them with respect anyway because otherwise you'll socialise yourself to be an asshole." I'm consistent on this point.

I am disappointed but not *remotely* surprised that Canada- a violent colonizer state with a history of genocide in and of itself- would decide to stand with another violent colonizer state with a history of genocide. Also, as expected, antizionist Jews went "Nah." www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/...

I find it weird that the reaction to calling LLMs “stochastic parrots” (a statement about *how they work*) is to deny it because of their apparent capabilities. The reaction should be “isn’t is interesting what a stochastic parrot can (apparently) do?” or to query the appearance.

AI can now detect, automate, and chain together exploits faster than any human hacker can. That is significant. Which means that the system vulnerabilities once considered not so low hanging fruit are actually very low hanging.

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...
stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

Writing IS the process. "AI" writing doesn't make sense to me. It's not writing; it's throwing words in a blender, while writing is putting your own pain, memories, joy, and perspective through a sieve until something worth showing the world remains. How is this not obvious?
