This “AI needs to slow down” situation is a grift and I’ll fight any knife wielding AI robots that think otherwise

A large S hanging in Blender's 3D viewport. Digits dangle below it, cutely bevelled box wrapped around them.

Tim Curry was The Rocky Horror Show at the Royal Court over 50 years ago and then he was The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Anyone who has ever attempted it - the role or the show - has been chasing his tail ever since. RIP

the thing I feel about LLMs (for me, in terms of why I have no interest in using them myself) is that, as someone who has cycled through being very out of shape and very extremely in shape several times in my life, I know what happens when you stop using a muscle

This is brilliant. “Lemon of Troy” is so monumental to me, so immaculate, that it’s hard to imagine someone had to craft it into existence. It’s also wild how it now feels like it came from some distant cultural past - it’s so “worn out vhs tape” coded. youtu.be/5yHLoPKdzRY?...

i still just really feel like AI stuff is basically illegal. like I don't think a good faith interpretation of "fair use" entails vacuuming up everyone's intellectual property to build your chat bot. that sounds wrong to me

NEW VIDEO INCOMING (Friday) ... this one's all about beginnings, and it'll be the second best epic you watch this week #b3d #geometrynodes
The group input and output of a geometry node tree, strung together by a noodle which glows green from the group input socket. Above and below the noodle float the words "GEOMETRY NODES START HERE".

Art is meant to either worry you by nailing an unexpressed or suppressed anxiety, or reassure you that you’re not alone in worrying, offering strength in numbers, don’t fuss, we’re all in this together. AI can’t do either.

The stuff that LLM AI can simulate is blandly confident mush, like forms and pitches and reports. Output where the human needs to be masked or boiled out in order to inspire confidence within a closed system. That’s not what art does, ever.

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got
Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow. Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
