I think this is in part because the most vocal people discussing AI are 1) people who hate it because they have looked into it, and 2) the person who are profiting off of it. People who aren't in either group are far less vocal about it because they aren't invested.

To the writer who did no work on their book today: Did you... Think about your villain's motives? Read another novel and admire the writing? Overhear a conversation and jot down a line of dialogue? Talk about your story to a friend? That sounds to me like you DID work on your book today!

Ultimately I think human authorship is impoetant, even if AI tools are part of the process. (Part of, not the start and finish)
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

ICE must be defunded and destroyed in its entirety and every person who enabled and worked for it must be stripped of all honor and government employment forever. Their names should be added to registries and people should be notified if they're moving into their neighborhoods. They're dangerous.

Listen, this should go without saying but apparently it doesn't: There is a huge difference between 1) valid expressions of frustration or disappointment and 2) abusive behavior and wishes of harm on the people you're frustrated with. Do not, under ANY circumstances, do the latter.

I'm categorized as an AI subscriber, because I'm subscribed to the 3 TB tier of Google Drive and and they literally just changed the name of the plan to "Google AI Plus." Those "AI subscriber" numbers are 100 percent juiced and phony, and you're a sucker if you believe otherwise.

This is critical. If you're doing your best to not be the kind of man people describe when they critique men at large, good! But part of that is understanding that if they're not talking about you, then all you have to say is nothing! Otherwise you *become* the kind of man they're talking about.

Heck yeah.
Human-made over 5 years

No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

In the past few years I've lost count of how many times a Google search for "[product or service]" has resulted in me, 10 minutes later, attempting some version of "actually good [product or service]" because all the initial results are SEO optimized trash and don't meet basic criteria

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I do think this is largely a good thing, because there ARE still meaningful ways the Dems are less bad than the GOP and I still want to see big Dem wins in November. That said, it's really sad the extent to which the lack of "clear contrast" comes from the Dems settling to the right.

This thread is especially salient in conjunction with 404's new piece today. One of the few actually popular uses of modern AI tools is pornographic imagery. And while that obviously implies other cultural concerns as well, I think it's in part because it's *what people can think of using it for*.

We absolutely, positively need to stop publishing articles whose headline is a question for which a full, complete correct answer is, "No." Doing so should be regarded tantamount to resigning from the publication.

If someone ran the numbers, I wonder how much national news would end up being 1) stuff that is obviously illegal but no one is enforcing it or 2) stuff that obviously ought to be illegal but for some reason it's not.

A small sign of how frustrated I've gotten with modern technology: I just turned off autocorrect. It's going to take me a while to get used to the places where it was still working, but it's gotten so bad, no matter which keyboard app I try, that I'm simply giving up.

This is also, I believe, part of why it's taking so long for the AI bubble to burst. These kinds of vital human skills are some that LLMs are the worst at imitating. But it's less obvious to people that ChatGPT is a hollow mockery of humanity when they're losing those things themselves.

Okay so if you still have a Meta account you need to change that ASAP. I know it would be hard to just delete it outright since it's used to connect with people you care about. But you absolutely cannot stay if they do this. So figure out what you need to do and get out.

I guarantee more and more of these types of things are going to crop up, and I hope they come quickly. EVERYONE except for the people who make money off of LLMs (and the people who WANT to make money off of LLMs) experiences a severely degraded quality of life whenever they use them.
