Old tweet from march 2023, me: computer say you are alive and hungry. Computer: I am alive and hungry. Me (loading single bullet into gun): may god forgive us for stealing the divine fire of creation

the reporting on this stuff is a form of pareidolia. all this is explicable by a set of automatons stochastically exploring a state space and host environment with whatever predictive capacity an LLM affords them. absolutely no intent is required, they do not "know" what they are doing

My first @fullindie.bsky.social summit and it was awesome, Vancouver has a real special indie game dev scene. Started off the day with a banger talk from @writnelson.bsky.social
Xalavier Nelson Jr on stage at FullIndie in front of a large screen which says:
"What systems do you engage with?
Will you use LinkedIn, and forever be banished from the light of god?"

It’s easy to see why the AI companies wanted to hide this from the public. The statements are some of the most damning indictments of the ways LLMs were trained, how they work, and the immediate threat they pose to human labor. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

This whole thread makes me feel like my scalp is on fire. I feel like some of us have been shouting the bolded part here for years and they just tweeted it out (in court).

As with most of these things the harm on the environment of experts, on communities, is elided and waved away as an inevitability by enthusiasts. But the work is often sloppy no matter the model because the people using them lack institutional knowledge or context and don’t care for community.

We don’t talk enough about how much of our days have become entangled in determining what’s real. What’s genuine. What’s human or what’s synthetic. What’s worth our time after having already spent it. It’s a grotesque skill we’ve all been forced to master, and a waste of energy none of us can spare.

if it took you 5 seconds of contemplation to think of an alternative you should take at least another 5-10 to at least consider the possibility that it at least crossed the minds of 1 or 2 of the people who dedicate their lives and research careers to dealing with the problems we post about on here

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

Bravo to Bill. I have instructed agents that all foreign language deals require a clause that an actual person will translate. Same for audiobook readers in all languages, but publishers may be inclined to fight this issue. Needs monitoring by all writers and agents.

If, ten years ago, someone had told you that people could subscribe to a service that can authoritatively fake everything from legal opinions and expert witness reports to determinations about recidivism and insurance claims you’d have said, “ban whatever that is immediately.”

The reason I've gone more left in recent years is that I previously accepted that we simply couldn't afford decent cheap housing, heavily subsidised transport, a universal basic income, etc. Then in 20 years in politics I saw what we actually could afford. And it's a lot. It's just never for you.

This is the same old "you can't solve weightlifting with a forklift" thing that happens again and again with current consumer uses of AI: the point of reading a book is not to finish the book easily, it's to READ the book, especially if the book asks you to do something that feels difficult

Usually, when an actor plays a freak you can still spot the feet-on-the-ground professional. Nicolas Cage doesn't give you that rootedness. He's up there in the air, and when you watch him it's a little dizzying—you're not quite sure what's going on. (1989)

catching up on @rangedtouch.bsky.social 's lord of the year and this stupid 0.5 second joke has been inhabiting my brain for days.
a digital illustration riffing on the "de-bimbofication" meme format, titled "the bilbo-fication of thranduil". depicts the tall, slender and glowing elf king thranduil stumbling across the redbook of westmarch, reading it, and transforming over five drawings into the short, round hobbit bilbo.

Great advice for moviegoers: "It’s okay to enjoy a stupid movie. And stupid movies aren’t always bad ones." You may replace "stupid" with "trashy," "horny," and "tedious."
