Same for art, even fan art. When I revel in the little details of a piece, I find delight in what the creator included or didn't. I wonder why it is so, because there was indeed a reason it is so. AI art has no intent. No motivations behind a brushstroke or framing. Just distillation.

Generate nonsense platitudes and not show up at the office? Sounds like the perfect job for AI. Just need to teach it golf.

Calling it now: the AI rename will be dutifully followed by companies, and it will massively backfire. Hard to imagine a way to turn off people more than pushing a rename of something they already felt overwhelmed by.

It always amazes me the extent to which no one thinks real people with actual lives live in DC

To restaurants/foodtrucks who use AI for menus: do you think the food looks good, and do you not own a phone with a camera on it?

As much discourse as there is about how polarized we've become by party, I don't think we talk enough about how extreme the gap in gender voting habits since 2016 is.

People keep asking me what it's like living in DC right now, and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social is doing the best coverage of it (and other places affected by the regime). Great summary of the vanity projects here. www.turtlediaries.net/p/the-kenned...

I can't get past that he's calling the round-about "Receptive Circle." Anyone who's accidentally ended up there at rush hour knows it's anything but.

"What's that behind your back?" "Oh, it's India and a number of other countries." "Give 'em back." "Oh, all right. There's that one there, and there's that one…” “Falkland Islands?” “Oh, we need the Falkland Islands... for strategic sheep purposes!"

Name a non-LOTR character who could resist the One Ring
Peter Venkman as played by Bill Murray in the Ghostbusters could avoid the draw of the One Ring purely on the premise its use would interfere with his biting sarcasm

Visited a cafe once that used a single shoe on the wall next to the door to denote gender. Needless to say I didn't notice and got stink eye from the owner for choosing incorrectly

I think AI companies are proffering bad solutions to problems right now because they want consumers to believe there aren't any good ones

One of the cool things that has happened with The Odyssey is that @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social is having a genuine moment in the sun and it so richly deserved. She is a brilliant scholar, a wonderful, caring Professor, and by all accounts a lovely human. Long may it continue- good for all of us.

Even if the details of this story are accurate, we only know about this because OpenAI thinks its good marketing.

OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched 'unprecedented' cyber-attack
It is one of the first publicly disclosed cyber-attacks carried out by AI without direct human involvement.
