went to see primetime with a friend and we ended up leaving partway through and getting reimbursed for our tickets because the sound system in the theater started producing this strangely well-timed feedback noise, which led to an interesting meta-narrative about Chris Hansen’s radiation powers

I know my followers are probably all in the same boat as I am (does not use generative ai in any facet of their life) so I’m just preaching to the choir, but I am genuinely baffled all the time. I don’t feel left behind, I feel like my belief in peoples’ inherent discernment is being tested

why are we okay with the fact that ai companies are ACTIVELY MAKING SHIT UP to sell us stuff?? that’s like if they said the new iPhone had potentially infinite battery life and it just ended up being the exact same as the previous one, with maybe marginal power saving improvements are we stupid????

side note: always struck by how the tech sector reports on this. even here the author says “yes this tool did not perform to the fantastical standards promised, and they actively fudged their numbers, but it kind of did something, and ai tools have been useful in the past, so it’s not a loss!”

I’m not surprised that we’re accelerating to a world where we prioritize churning things out quickly and roleplaying as geniuses because you can tell an exorbitantly wasteful computer program to “only make good decisions” and pretend that does anything, but I am disappointed

yes machine learning is demonstrably useful, we’ve BEEN using it to great specific effects far before this bubble, but big tech companies want to have this everything model you have to pay to use to do things we’ve already been doing, but less reliably and worse so much junk for no reason at all

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I think the thing that upsets me most about LLMs and genAI (beyond the fact that the only “technological innovation” that spurred this whole bubble was theft) is they’re so fundamentally wasteful all this energy and manpower into such dramatically diminishing returns and the same applications

here is mister beast smiling and crossing his hands and twirling around in his chair like he is actually in love with the guys making ball 2

one of the sharks blurted out that ball 2 sounds boring as fuck but Mr beast was already trying to give the guy $500,000 as quickly as possible

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

they put mr beast on shark tank and he immediately got one shotted by these dudes selling an ai toy called “ball 2” because they flattered him and got him talking about how when he was a kid he would throw a ball at the wall really hard as his idea of fun

Petscop is the closest approximation of lynchian in the digital age I've seen executed and I don't think I've ever seen that brought up in discussions of it

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

people love to call internet games (specifically indie games, internet horror, etcetera) "lynchian" and while I think that term is sometimes applicable, the only internet horror project I've seen where I would make that argument passionately is Petscop

I think my dream properties to adapt into animation (show or film) would be Hellboy (Mike Mignola), The Maxx (Sam Keith), Watchmen (Alan Moore+Dave Gibbons+John Higgins), Beautiful Darkness (Fabien Vehlmann+Kerascoët), Ghost World (Daniel Clowes) and Dwellings (Jay Stephens)

plus the timelapse had fun with this one, wanted to try a method of coloring that was much more spontaneous and abstract. it doesnt really look like real metal but i like this hyper-stylized, gummy kinda look

unfortunately it’s a lot more corrupt than that. If there’s money from lobbyists, suddenly lawmakers are bipartisan about wanting data centers in their communities, and genAI has a LOT of money

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

again, I truly do think it should be regulated. Severely. If it was up to me, LLMs would not exist. but I am severely skeptical that these hypothetical concerns are plausible, or at the very least more plausible than the actual crimes the technology was designed to do and carries out

110

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

what they don’t like saying is that “hugging face hack” wasn’t an autonomous rogue action, they set up the testing environment and deliberately TRAINED IT TO DO THE HACK. essentially monkeys on a typewritered it into a cybersecurity attack. that sounds a lot more Ike OpenAI being liable

200

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

that’s completely true, but what I’m saying is those same admins that use ai systems publicly, have a government partnership with openAI, and proposed a law that would STOP ALL AI REGULATION are also mysteriously on board with these squishy, hypothetical, “evil ai super intelligence” regulations

100

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I mean, if we really wanted to regulate these things “going rogue,” we’d make companies who develop chatbots that commit cybersecurity attacks criminally liable. but you ask the companies about that and they say that’s absurd and dangerous because ai is so necessary for humanity

100

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I think if legislators want to pass frivolous laws preventing some hypothetical scenario, they’re free to do that, but I also think it’s telling that we see so much resistance to regulating the environmental impacts, or the human impacts, or the general shady business practices of these companies

200

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I would agree if there weren’t dozens of other ways LLMs are already “ending the world!” Especially when these companies are cozying up with the US administration, which is drastically scaling back climate change prevention initiatives, one of the ACTUAL serious dangerous of these wasteful systems

020

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

and practically every other new model thus far, just for them to eventually release and be more of the same. If just as many experts are saying growth is slowing down and “AGI” is impossible, at the very least I think there’s got to be a middle ground

050

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

i think erring on the side of caution is good, but when there is a money trail of ulterior motives, I don’t think we should pivot our attention away from the actual, measurable harms LLMs and genAI are causing in the world right now. Especially when we heard these warnings about Fable, Mythos +

250

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I’d be hesitant to believe everything you read about “ai experts,” because they aren’t all unified about the subject, and for many of the high-profile cases there are some questionable conflicts of interest. I recommend looking into the “Effective Altruism” group and its astroturfing efforts

230

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

the “regulation” they’re asking for is all for squishy hypothetical sci-fi capabilities of the technology, not the actual reality. that’s like being an oil rig and saying look, we understand our product is dangerous, please make laws that oil can’t shoot so done with a gun

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

im just so frustrated with how credulous the reporting around it has been every few months there's this big announcement of marked advancements or AGI and then nothing changes how did nobody shut this down the first few times it happened im so sick of being smokescreened honestly

regular users of this stuff aren't being blown away by the progress of these tools. if theyre anything like my family members and acquaintances they're actively becoming disillusioned with it. my parents have started making jokes about things that are poorly designed being "ai generated"

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

how many more headlines are we going to get saying shit like "ai company ceos say their technology is advancing too fast! it's just too good!! it's so scary!!" before the media catches on that it's a form of marketing

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

and then Prometheus and Covenant take a totally different approach and suddenly it’s about companion robots and the inherent evil of wanting to create and own something in your image feel whatever way you want about those movies but Ridley has the sauce in my heart

blade runner speaks to the ability of people to look at someone who is indistinguishable from them, in form and experience, and deem them a lesser being, while alien is about the human form being manipulated and used to subjugate the working class both imposter narratives with different meanings

🤖LILLIAN🦷 is open for work! @lillified.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

seriously though I think one thing the non Ridley alien sequels miss about androids is that Ash is an embodiment of the company or company interests infiltrating the group, like the alien itself the company is a malignant parasite in hiding the human appearance is deliberately deceptive
