hugging face is the most terrifying indicator of where the ai race is, in the sense that the industry is facing completely solvable collective action problems while guided by entrenched, unoustable leaders with the foresight and moral fortitude of above-average pigeons

The loneliness epidemic makes people very, very susceptible to anything that makes nice, friendly noises at them, which makes those noises dangerous in the same way heroin is dangerous, and for the same reason

there's a pretty simple connection here 1. humans become good at what they practice doing 2. outsourcing to an AI or even other people, means you have stopped doing the thing 3. if you stop doing the thing, you will stop improving, and, long term, get worse at it (cont.)

The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head: 1. Elmo knows where you live! 2. Open wide for some Soccer! 3. I see you’ve played knifey-spooney before! 4. Oh, didn’t I? 5. That’s the joke

The British Media Vs. Plagiarism

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
British Journalists are relaxing on lilos in the sea. Someone on the shore yells “Hey Guys! An academic got accused of plagiarism”

Panel 2:
One of the journalists sticks out their tongue and says “Pffft. Wake me when there’s a real story”

Panel 3:
Person on shore “He was black”

Panel 4:
The sea explodes as a tidal wave of British Journalists erupt into the air, manic and desperate to report on this now vital for some reason piece of news

I think it’s just worth remembering that as the media handwring to justify publicly humiliating and hounding a man to death, just two weeks ago they gave glowing eulogies to another man with a history of domestic violence and brushed off his own statements about having pedophillic impulses

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

A close up of captain kirk getting his eyes scanned. It is cut off above the eyebrows and below his mouth.

The same image in a thumbnail for Star Trek, the wrath of Khan. But AI has painted the rest of the image so that Kirk is a balding man in a business suit.

The industry response to this will be “they’re just doing their jobs” but speculative digging like this is quite obviously bin diving, an attempt to dredge up *something* that will stick.
