I hate these fucking ChatGPT commercials that show it helping folks like planning a date that seems "chill," or how to become a "morning person," all things that should've been learned from a community not a goddamned spicy autocorrect. Fuck all that noise.

All worried about how easy it is for GenAI to influence people because it's able to statistically sound like a conversational partner, meanwhile look at this rock YOU ARE HARD-WIRED TO THINK THIS ROCK IS ALIVE AND FEEL SORRY FOR THE SAD ROCK. POOR SAD ROCK.
A still from the film Everything Everywhere All At once. It is a smooth grey rock sitting on top of what looks like a cliff. The cliff is made of grit and sand. There are two googly eyes on the rock. THE ROCK LOOKS SAD.

When I see this, I wonder what happens when it gets the translation wrong — potentially in an offensive way — and the speaker doesn’t know, but also how it will get people to change their speech patterns to be legible to the automated system, as we know people already do with voice assistants.

I believe that generative AI may be the biggest dunce mask-off moment ever. These things do not make sense! How does using AI for coding lead to AGI? How does *generative AI* lead to AGI? Hell why don't we start simple: what is AGI in this context?
Still, the note highlighted Mr. Brin’s belief that A.G.I. — a long-sought goal in computing — could be within reach. And it shed more light on how he believes Google could achieve that technological leap.

“Competition has accelerated immensely and the final race to A.G.I. is afoot,” he wrote. “I think we have all the ingredients to win this race, but we are going to have to turbocharge our efforts.”

He highlighted the need for Google’s employees to use more of its A.I. for coding, saying the A.I.’s improving itself would lead to A.G.I. He also called on employees working on Gemini to be “the most efficient coders and A.I. scientists in the world by using our own A.I.”

Hier eine erste Analyse der Situation.
Eine simple Strichmännchen-Zeichnung: Links steht eine Figur mit beiden Händen an den Kopf gefasst, die laut “Aaaaaaaah!!!” schreit. Ein Zickzack-Blitz symbolisiert den Schrei. Rechts stehen zwei andere Strichmännchen. Das eine sagt zum anderen: “Er spricht aus, was viele denken.” Die Zeichnung ist mit “@kriegundfreitag” signiert.

You know the whole "the internet never forgets" thing? It's really more like "people on the internet archive stuff, especially if spite is involved" so be the weird little person with a cache of all the things you care about from the internet, whether spite is involved or not.
