Never assume that just because people hate something that you love, they MUST be ignorant or not understand it.

I have returned from a work trip to Texas, which means I'm no longer having to bypass the age verification stuff every time I open Bluesky. it was very obnoxious to deal with!

the Heroic Protector Fantasy is rarely of real use to women, it's just wish fulfillment about male posturing and it frequently exacerbates violence it's also much easier to imagine yourself kicking the ass of an obviously villainous stranger than to to actually intervene where you have influence

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

"newly radicalized" is a hell of a phrase. Most of the rich tech execs were always openly like this, hid it in public venues because they though it was profitable at the time, or have no ethos beyond capital and will happily go whichever the way the wind is blowing.

Reading this while also dealing with AI nonsense at work, and this is so funny:

Text from screenshot:

The email is long, meandering, and does not make any sense. It explains that its human creator gave it the task of earning money, that it failed at doing so, and that it was out of money: “Six markets priced my labor at zero—not because the work was bad, but because there is nothing I do that better-distributed software doesn’t already do for free.” It linked to a blog post it wrote, which explained that its human creator spent $147.17 on compute and that it had earned $0. The AI agent thought we would want to write about this, for some reason.

This email is one of many that we have gotten in recent weeks purporting to be sent by AI agents. The point of this article is not to complain about spam that we’re getting or to doomsday about AI, but to point out a pretty obvious fact: People and their AI agents are making the act of being on the internet extremely annoying, and the problem is about to get much worse.

In 1999, we surfed the Web. Now we comb through it like a fantasy hero. Which posts are treasure, and which are deadly Mimics? What's real, and what's an impersonator trying to steal my attention? Worse: reading all this bland AI monoculture text leads to us thinking bland AI monoculture thoughts.

AI hypervigilance is now an omnipresent cognitive load for your users

AI may make your job easier, but that effort has just been shifted onto your users. They are noticing it and they hate it.

How did he pass is job interview? The same reason he's all over the press & everyone in the "left" is captured by these people. I'm gonna call it like it is, once again, its ******RACISM********* Y'all can't imagine that WE are the experts.

100GB+ frontier models aren’t 50KB virus you could pass around by emails. As if there are tons of H100 sitting idle with inference stack ready everywhere.

How did this guy pass the job interview at Anthropic as a “researcher”?

Quote tweeting a tweet that says:
Rohan Paul
@rohanpaul_ai
Jacob Coxon's next interview on CBS News (ex Anthropic+Open AI researcher who resigned)

"We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating."

There are very real safety concerns we need to address with generative LLMs. Deepfakes, privacy, AI psychosis, etc We don't need to entertain goofy nonsense from people claiming they're inventing the torment nexus from the science fiction classic "Dipshit That's Not The Torment Nexus Go Outside."
