1/ People keep saying AI is inevitable. History disagrees. Plenty of technologies were called unstoppable, and societies stopped them or shrank them down to a niche. A thread 🧵

evitable

Amazon's own balance sheet presents the most compelling evidence that we are stuck in the Enshittocene, the era in which everything is turning into a pile of shit, because the worst ideas of the worst people now make the most money. 1/

Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Conjuror,' a painting depicting a medieval con artist playing a shell game for an audience of astonished peasant rubes. The image has been altered: the conman now has Jeff Bezos's grinning head, and the mouths of all the peasants have been replaced with inverted Amazon 'Smile' logos, so they are now frowning.

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.

Great thread. Theory of mind and AI. We use this imagery a lot in Broken Veil, cos it fascinates me. Corporate human-hostile space which has been hand-annotated for use by humans. It’s basically the cake-is-a-lie graffiti behind the shiny wall panels in a Portal game. It speaks to us all.

Another custom hair, this time for a Meki MJD from the Creator's Essence series. "Peony" style hair in two-tone green and brown on "Daisy" style body in original clothing. #dollsky #bjd #mjd #JointedDoll #Doll #Custom #Meki

A Meki Creator's Essence mechanically-jointed doll is stood on a white background waving to the camera. The style is Daisy, with a smiling face and bright green eyes, wearing a cottage-core dress of green jacquard fabric and cream ruffle edge and collar and a cream rough-textured apron with a brown bow. The doll has the Peony style with a straight cut fringe and feathered bangs framing the face with twin buns on either side. The dolls hair is painted bright green with soft brown roots with short, brown deer antlers protruding from the top that are tinged with dusky pink at the tips.

The same doll but seen from the waist up in three-quarter view, holding a hand to their smiling mouth while the inset eyes look towards the camera.

A close-up of the doll's head and shoulders, waving at the camera.

A head and shoulders shot from the back, showing the hair in zig-zag parting, the brown roots fading softly into the green.

Custom hair for an Electronic Pet (Advocate Freedom) bjd I bought second hand off ebay. The body is the leopard style, while the hair (which I received as a blank) is from the cat style. Wearing Juyue's clothes (Moon Jumping Time series by Inedible Doll) as she didn't come with any. #Dollsky #BJD

A recent custom colour of a Liroro (Simontoys) bjd hair piece. The molding made it very easy to shade with a sponge (as I don't have an airbrush). Wearing Juyue's clothes from Moon Jumping Time series by Inedible Doll. #BJD #Custom #DollSky #Liroro #Simontoys #InedibleDoll

The short cut (Liroro) hair style has been painted green with a similar style of highlight shading on the top.

Tested out the new "create a minifigure" option on the Lego website and got addicted to trying to create the cast from "Into the Badlands". It looks like the site is changing as they test out the format and available pieces change as they go in and out of stock. #Lego #CreateAMinifigure

Six lego minifigures in a line in a mini all-white box room. Hopefully they are a rough approximation of the characters from the martial arts tv show "Into the Badlands" or ... who cares, I think they're great considering the limited options.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”
