Sep. 3: Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar announce bill to regulate superintelligent AI. Sep. 8: Jacob Coxon announces his resignation from Anthropic and hits the media circuit. COINCIDENCE?

Conspiracy theory: The recent spate of AI doomerism is a classic reverse psychology ploy to get Very Smart People to support unrestricted, unregulated AI growth.

3-panel comic. (1) PERSON 1 behind podium on stage: We all hate springing forward. But we love falling back. (2) [Audience pictured listening] PERSON 1: Therefore, we are abolishing the *spring* time change *only*. We’ll gain an hour every year, but never lose one. (3) PERSON OFF-PANEL: Won’t that cause the clocks to spiral out of sync with the sun? PERSON 1 holding up a fist: *Then we will meet the chaos clear-eyed and well-rested!*

They need to make it so you can return any container to any store. I gave up on trying to redeem containers because I don't know which exact brands/sizes/flavors every individual store sells. Town recycling is just much more convenient, and I doubt many people will switch even if the value goes up.

2020 was the first year that was closer to 2069 than to (the summer of) 1969. Also, if the song came out in 2026, it would be about the year 2011 and Bryan Adams would have been born in 2001.

I don't think my household ever subscribed to OMNI magazine, but I loved seeing the covers and sometimes flipping through the articles. It was both cool and nerdy at the same time, and the visual design was top-notch. Anyway, I found out that it's archived online here: archive.org/details/omni...

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

I understand why stores feel the need to put out holiday merchandise as soon as possible, but nothing is forcing you to blast Cher's Christmas album this early in the season (looking at you, Target).

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Actually, "Frankenstein's monster" is not a possessive but a contraction of "Frankenstein is monster" so the headline is correct.

His smooth jazz stuff was enjoyable, but unlike some others he could actually play straight jazz, and had a great ear for talent too. Here he is with future legends Steve Gadd and Tony Levin in his band: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wa5...
