On the one hand, Muse is vibe coded slop malware. On the other hand you could get a $32 check in 10 years if you let it build a stasi file on you and everyone you know or meet.

I participated in some public library ai courses. I’m telling you that the state of literacies and the complexity of lives deeply enmeshed in the bowels of late stage capitalism cannot find a use case for an agent & if they could, people don’t have the scaffolding to imagine one that could be useful

I give Boy Kings a pass in this genre because 1) 2006-2012 was actually early enough to be surprised a little by it all and 2) Kate really didn't do the Thought Leader circuit game

My most deranged TV recommendation remains the second season of The Purge TV show, which focuses on everything that people do during the year between annual Purge nights (e.g. a crew that does bank heists on Purge night plan a heist)

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

The media has the AI threat all wrong
Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.
