language model programs have no conscious intent or ethical understanding and they never will. you can program them to say they do, but they fundamentally cannot

The weeks after 9/11 were filled with unhinged Islamophobia and any claim that we were completely united explicitly places them on the outside of who you consider to be American

This is happening across the board, and is the reason we all need to have a chat with our ‘not-technically-literate-and-also-constantly-seeking-validation-and-or-more-respect’ family members about personal wormtongues

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

I just don't understand how we've managed to get ourselves into a place where having a home - something I would have as a child seen as a baseline - is felt as an enormous position of privilege, something you spend half your life working for and still can only achieve with help or luck.

I don't normally care who reads my stuff but I really hope the CEO of Target dude sees this because it's true. You fucked up. You're only sorry because it cost you money. when you shit on DEI you're alienating way more people than the turds who yell at you about being "woke" and that's facts

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

the faux-AI evangelists see the artistic process as a race to get to a finished product, instead of something valuable in itself. the process is where you develop those skills you don't have yet, it cannot be skipped, it is where the art happens

i think if the democrats had dug in their heels and said "this is the epstein shutdown. trump is starving the country because he doesn't want the epstein files to come out" they probably could have ended him. so it was very kind of them to not do that

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.
A cartoon showing a man between a white construction worker and a black man. He points to the black man and says "Careful mate ... that foreigner wants your cookie" The man in the middle has a plate full of cookies; the construction worker has one cookie; the black man has no cookies.

Seriously. "I'm not going to remotely contemplate the notion that Trump is capable of deep reflection" Michael Shannon
Vanity fair interview with actor M Shannon screen grab

The interviewer presses Shannon, noting that the actor had already said he likes playing "bad men who are suffering?" Trump, in the actor's mind, is actually "having the time of his fucking life" in the White House"He doesn't even have to work," he said. "All the hard work that most people have to do to be president of the United States, he just fucking skipped all that. That fucking guy doesn't even know what's in the Constitution. He doesn't have any grasp of history or politics or law or anything. He's just blindfolded throwing darts at the side if a bus"

"I'm not going to remotely contemplate the notoion that Trump is capable of deep reflection"

This whole section really.
Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
