incredible quote lol
When a doctor told me I’d come close to dying, and that the play had to stop using real knives, I remember thinking: “You just don’t understand theatre.”

It’s a labor issue.
The timing of this latest LLM debacle is telling, coming after recent layoffs at both the Chicago Sun Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer. Al is such a pressing labor issue in creative fields because so many of us know that generative Al is bad at doing our jobs.
You can't replace people with machines and expect to get facts right, let alone nuances. Now just tell that to the so-called business titans at the top who actually make the decisions about how to spend (or not spend) corporate money.

This is going to be the norm soon with the Internet littered with fake content. I've already caught fake 'quotes' from my books. Fake summaries. And yes, I saw a similar list online that had me releasing a fake book this year.

genAI NPCS are shit for many reasons but also: NPCs with one or two lines of dialog clearly communicate to the player that this character cannot help you progress. We don't just choose not to include thousands of lines for NPCs because we're lazy or lack resources. It's bad design.

the web is cooked. I was reading a book that I wanted to find a summary of. Several top search results were for websites that had full “summaries” that were 75% AI hallucination and contained no more actual info about the book than you could gain by reading the dust jacket.

I’ll stop using y’all as unpaid therapists in a bit, but it’s endlessly frustrating watching teams that have shipped games get dismantled. Mostly because each shipped game is kind of a miracle! You have a team of fucking wizards and you scatter them and their arcane knowledge to the four winds?

Still thinking about THE LONG GOODBYE. It’s obviously not the Marlowe we know, but that wasn’t really the point anyway. The point is there is no room in LA for a chain-smoking tough guy with a soft heart. Gould plays Marlowe as a slob and a rake-stepping loser and it rules.

Again, I want to stress: the Greenland/Canada/Panama stuff is not a distraction. You don't have to believe that Trump is literally going to invade these countries to recognize it as a signal that, under Trump, we are going to treat our former friends like enemies. This matters - a lot.

where does the new york times even find these people
A screenshot of a New York Times update that says: In Grand Central Terminal, Leon Chang, 26, of Brooklyn, said he had not heard of congestion pricing and asked what it was. When explained it was a toll for cars entering Manhattan, he then asked “What do you mean? What is a car?” Walking outside, we showed him a vehicle parked on the street. He gently touched the hood of the car. “You wish to forbid these majestic beasts from entering the city,” he said in a wistful tone. “It is a folly of man. The desire to tame the world around us.”
