The podcast makes jokes about 9/11 because we need to do something to deal with the tragedy But someone needs to tell this graphic designer to stop it We don't need the 11 in 9/11 to be the twin towers, if for no other reason than it wasn't all about them, but also... kind of ick

Another rapture story This party goer was having a great time celebrating Labor Day naked with only their shoes. The rapture will come to take us all, even if we're celebrating on the way home

If this is really how this works, then LLM video generators should have to pay to "loop" source motion from the videos they take from, just like rappers had to pay for the loops they use for their backing tracks
Still from a video demonstrating how to steal the motion from one film and then use it as the basis for motion in a generative LLM video

Just read a little more BTW here was my original question
Gemini admitting it hallucinated i am looking for an entryway cabinet that can store purses, shoes, and small items like umbrellas, keys, and hats. i want regular draws plus at least one cabinet door, and one or two tilting shoe drawers. it should be under 7" deep, shorter than 41"tall. it can be any color or style. it shouldn't be wider than 60".

Got into an argument with an AI advocate on Twitter, claiming I "tricked" Gemini into giving bad info I tried my question (about an entryway cabinet) again, and after arguing WITH GEMINI on the possibility of 7" deep drawers, it finally suggested a product When I asked for a link, I got this

And as long as I'm shaking my fist at Star Wars clouds, what's the deal, Dave Filoni? Did we turn off text centering? I can (almost) deal with the top justification (not shown so I could max the text size), but what the actual poodoo is up with this?

This Twitter post sums it up
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Thinking about AI content, makes me wonder if people would like to see some kind of declaration at the beginning or end of a video I took a stab at making something, interested in reactions AI is a mixed bag, and it's likely not going away, so maybe education will help?

I didn't watch the Superbowl, it's not really for me, I'm not that into sports, I had to do some laundry, well not really, my wife did the laundry, I'm sorry I lied for a second there. But I did reorganize my jackets to ones I am more likely to wear. But anyway, I don't care about the Superbowl
