I just cannot stress this enough: If you attempt a joke that doesn’t land, or you say something unintentionally problematic or hurtful, and somebody checks you on it, there are so many ways to walk it back. Take accountability. Apologize. At minimum, stop saying more words to make it worse!

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.
Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

If I could tell people that are still in school one thing it'd be this: If you find your life miserable rn and people keep telling you 'enjoy it, I wish I was back in school, it only gets worse', Don't fuckin listen to them. The people who say that were all privileged little shits during school.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

We have got to stop electing people who cannot manage to treat every word out of a cop’s mouth as suspect at best, likely a lie, definitely self-serving. Bonus if we can also get them to treat every word from a salesman’s lips with the same innate skepticism. Both groups lie because it’s their job.

You don’t want a new Halo game. You want to be 15 again. It’s the same reason Call of Duty “isn’t fun anymore”. It’s not really any different than it used to be. You’re just older now and there are a million of them. No MP FPS is gonna make you feel like a teenager again.

As a former pretentious little shit who grew out of it, rationalists (et al) annoy the piss out of me because they are adults with the mentality of tweens - they are somehow still convinced they are the greatest geniuses who have ever walked the earth. It is the worldview of an arrogant baby.

People aren’t faking their disabilities, they’re faking being well. We know society hates us. We know we will be judged for using assistive devices. Many of us take years to get the courage to lean in to accommodations. Stop judging. Help us build a more inclusive world.

In my experience, a lot of smart people who dropped out of high school or whatever college they went to end up thinking they are much smarter than they are. Because one thing higher education does is shows you that there are other perspectives out there than yours. And they missed out on that.

Going through some of my old art. Back around 2000 or so, I tried to build Wing Zero and Epyon in TrueSpace. The models and images were created in trueSpace 2.5. The computer itself was an IBM Aptiva with a 166 mhz processor, 36MB RAM, and an ATI 3D Rage graphics card.
A collage of 3D renders originally created more than 26 years ago. The first image is Epyon Gundam flying through space with a red and blue nebula behind it. The second is a 3/4 view of Wing Zero standing against a black background. The third image is Epyon standing behind Zero in its fighter configuration. The third, center image is Wing Zero positioned between Earth and a colony. The final image shows Epyon and Zero about to face off while a massive battle happens in the distant background.

Zeldragon🌟 [ #art #fanart #zelda ]
A digital illustration of Princess Zelda from Tears of the Kingdom, portraying her whole body in a floating pose, gently holding the master sword which is glowing in golden light. Zeldas design has been modified a bit to mix her with her dragon form, she has bright teal dragon horns, dark scaly arms and legs and a long white dragon tail. The piece has taken some inspiration from Mucha's 'Spring' with the pose and nouveau-ish style. The background shows a cloudy warm teal sky, bordered with golden ornamental floral patterns

My hot take is that fandoms have always been a majority of nice people with a subset of absolutely rancid, judgemental arseholes that never got bigger, just louder, but because platforms learned that arguments drive engagement and therefore you see more ads, they tailored algorithms towards that

The touchscreen is a tool the body cannot learn. Every swipe, every tap, every pinch requires the eye to confirm what the finger is doing. The body cannot build a map of a surface that never changes. So the learning never finishes. The tool never disappears.

A longish post which goes beyond the description of the heroic pause. This message is my takeaway
Screen shot from the post linked below. Text reads: 
So here's how I would urge you all to celebrate Stanislav Petrov Day this year. Remember the example of the man who disobeyed orders to ignore what the cutting-edge computer system was telling him to do, and saved untold millions of lives in the process. Whatever an Al is telling you, whether it's a warning of a national security threat or a business efficiency" recommendation or healthcare "cost-saving" or personal "communication tips," do not trust it unreservedly. Do not let yourself become a meat-puppet for unthinking software because it's easier in the short run. Do not take irreversible actions, especially actions putting life at risk, due to AI guidance.

Disobey, always, rather than do something barbarous.

A poorly understood problem with age bans for social media is that all the adults give up the privacy (since that's what it means to verify your age) and the kids will still be social on the Internet, because, well, they're kids and it's the Internet.
