In my latest artwork I am testing decline and model collapse and people's attitudes towards it in cute and fuzzy teddy bears. I have a control bear, one that is going to decline through model collapse and one that has been told "you are declining" and what decline looks like.

There is a lot of "oh dear" to go around in the results of this very thorough Pew study on the issues with synthetic samples, but this strikes me as particularly "oh dear" www.pewresearch.org/data-labs/20...

AI polling results can lean on racial or partisan stereotypes

In many cases, our AI poll took beliefs or attitudes that are reasonably common among a particular subgroup and portrayed them as nearly ubiquitous. For example, our AI poll would indicate that:

97% of Hispanic adults are at least somewhat likely to follow the World Cup (while the actual share is 43%).

This interview with @timnitgebru.blacksky.app does a good job puncturing some of this BS. I think the private sector often profits off of just this sort of move: hiding ‘expertise’ behind proprietary doors and then making public claims that can’t be scrutinized is par for the course in business.

removing women from sports is a tentpole of their goal to remove women from higher education. they want to remove women's options so they can force women into the 1950s housewife roles they dream of recreating. well 1950 is right, they want to take the whole country back to the 1850s socially.

I saw a beautiful artwork about Bogong Moths at the NGV Australia. I wish I had taken a picture of the didactic so I could credit the artist!

An abstract work of art, organically shaped in brown wood with a rippling texture and a round mirror in the upper left area. The wood is layered to look like bogong moths clustered

one reason that genAI is so attractive to right wing/techbro/boomer types is that there is a degree of ego death necessary to create worthwhile art, and soothing the ego is the single driving force behind all of their antisocial behaviors

The idea that people want AI oversight to happen "all of a sudden" ignores years of research, warnings, and policy efforts. The delay hasn’t been a lack of awareness; it’s been because of years of industry lobbying against regulation, political resistance, and inaction.

One of my artistic weaknessses is color so I decided to do a quick study with my iPad set to grayscale to see if I could do a colorful portrait using only values. And honestly? I don't hate it! I think I'll try this again.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER caught a career break when LUCILLE BALL gave him a part in ‘Happy Anniversary And Goodbye’ (1974). This led to Bob Rafelson offering him the part that got his Movie career going in ‘Stay Hungry’ (1976) - which earnt him a Golden Globe Award and put him on the Hollywood map.
