been thinkin about how robots are gonna kill us
Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.
Panel 1: 
Titled:“How we thought robots would kill us”
A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

They used Flock Cameras to track a pregnant women across state lines, because she was pregnant. Abusive cops used it to track & abuse ex-significant others. They track our movements & monitor our lives comings & goings. When did they ask us permission? We pay for it, it's up to us.

Me: "Hey LLM, can we flip a background-image without using CSS transform?" LLM: "Yes. I'm programmed to make you a happy camper so I will first pretend there is a solution before telling you there is no solution."
The practical CSS-only option without transform is background-size with a negative dimension:

CSS
.element {
background-image: url("image.jpg"); background-size: -100% 100%;
}

Unfortunately, negative background-size values are invalid CSS, so that doesn't work.

We had to put up with years of "git gud" and "learn to code" from gamers and programmers but somehow "git gud" is not an acceptable response when sloppers insist that they can't possibly create art for their game without AI

What I don't get here is that it is illegal to scrape servers of websites right, because you might get hold of information not entitled to you, but somehow all data breaching laws stopped applying as soon as the Hackers™️ had a fuck ton of money. Weird.

As with the "everything is stained in piss" approach, the problem with generative AI is that it just makes everything look vaguely diseased. It's like one of those mimic chests you have in dungeon crawlers.

Getting really bloody sick of saying NO to cookie data then having to scroll through sometimes mile-long mazes to untick 'legitimate interest' boxes because I ACTUALLY MEANT NO. 😑 Ticking no cookies shouldn't mean they still sell my data to 82+ mystery vendors unless I put more time into my no.
A screenshot of a data preference pop up. First box reads 'measure advertising performance'. Tick boxes I've turned off for 'consent (83 vendors)' and 'legitimate interest (62 vendors)'. Second box for 'content performance' has 'consent (35 vendors)' and 'legitimate interest (20 vendors)'.

I mean... yes, because LLMs have no concept of "truth". They predict text. Doesn't matter what text. At no point during training are they rewarded for "truth". This is why using LLMs for information retrieval is the exact WRONG use case, but I've lost my voice screaming about this already.

AI is boring. I used to get excited about technology. Not for the last 5 years. Companies updating software that doesn't need updating simply to justify their paychecks. Adding features that are only minor changes. Turning everything into subscriptions, so they can monetize our every click.

So if someone opts in, and has taken photos of friends, relatives, kids, even strangers, they’re “giving permission” on behalf of all those people. So lots of people have no say in this. The whole “opt in” thing was always a charade but it’s approaching terminal nonsense at this point.
