I remember when ai first launched and I realized in horror how specifically LOISH has been robbed. Just took everything whole and put in their blender. And to hear people say her work is AI? I'd have to go to the hospital.

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

While this is true and I love it. I'm not looking forward to when the bubble pops and liberals who were all-in on the AI hype claim that only the super intelligence stuff was bad, they were always against it, and 'regular', 'responsibly used' LLMs are still good and vital.

I wanna be totally clear: I don't even necessarily believe that we should assume Anthropic's LLM "plagiarized" the work of a biologist because his data was in a training set. I think it's very possible that *people at anthropic deliberately engaged in plagiarism to produce an apparent result.*

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:
thehandbasket.co
I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

Panel 1: At the top it says "(THE BIT ZONE)" indicating that we are in the grassy void that is the non-canonical Bit Zone. Audrey is a pair of short-bottom jean overalls and in a white shirt with blue stripes, holding something behind his back in front of Val. He says "Hey Val, close your eyes and hold out your hand."

Panel 2: Val smiles incredulously and says "Hah! What is this, middle school? You gonna put something gross in my hand?"

Panel 3: Audrey's grey-brown eyes sparkle in pin, yellow, and green as an arrow points to them labeling them "'Trust Me' Eyes"

Panel 4: Val closes her eyes, turns her head slightly, and holds up her open palm, unable to resist. Audrey is overjoyed.Panel 5: Audrey places something in Val's open palm, his other hand still behind his back.

Panel 6: Val opens her eyes and calmly looks at what's in her palm.

Panel 7: It's two enamel pins of Audrey and Val's faces, as well as two stickers of them looking like beans, or like they are a very small creature that just ate a cheese puff, or perhaps a tech deck dude.

Panel 8: Val looks up at Audrey with a blank expression of neither joy nor sorrow, as if to ask "what is this".

Panel 9: Audrey's eyes glimmer as he folds his arms in front of himself and says "That's us."Panel 10: Text reading "PREORDER CAMPAIGN! T.B.F.V. ENAMEL PIN SET, PREORDER COMES WITH 2 BONUS STICKERS," once again showing the two two pins and two stickers, and indicating the pins to be 1.5 inches wide.Panel 11: Shen, in a yellow dress shirt and dark blue dress pants and overalls, looks back at you from a slightly overhead angle and points up, smiling. He says "Only at TOPA.To/SHEN, until 10/1! Note: This is a peorder campaign, so it won't ship immediately, and will take some time to get to you. (It'll be available normally later, but the stickers are a preorder bonus)"
