Realised that when asked about AI I very quickly progress into a Johnny Silverhand type rant

Reading about Jacob Geller and I'm so fucking disappointed. The one video essayist I've always felt completely safe sharing. Fuck this.

People get up in arms about gatekeeping alt communities but honestly its so vital, otherwise we get campaigns around 'alt-right goth baddies' and its literally a girl who's barely an adult with a few articles of black clothing and dyed hair.

Every now and again I come across a fella still going gamergate era posts or videos and its like discovering those Japanese soldiers who were still fighting ww2

Reading Omar El Akkad's 'One Day ...' and I completely forgot that Biden was like 'yup, 40 babies, I seen footage' and then it was proven to be a hoax. Lesser evil vote btw

For as long as I've been using it, my one gripe with linux is that I can never seem to escape wake-from-sleep failures. Which, while extremely relatable, is very annoying.

My friends are having their job security threatened by AI; my papers are getting rejected because they don't include AI; people around me make costly mistakes because AI summaries are confidently wrong. This dumb world is going to send me postal.

Everyone talks about how AI assistants speed up programming workflows but they rarely seem to share that the cost of using the big name models is astronomical. It has the same vibe as those interviews where they ask billionaires how much they think one banana costs.

AI could be disastrous for humanity if you view humanity as a profit margin and AI as the process of pissing money down the drain

Isn't it convenient how one of the companies involved in the big money circlejerk ramped up its 'rogue AI' narrative and another company in the circlejerk almost immediately has a solution for it 🤔🤔

recently I came to a realization about why "smart devices" are so shitty if you take an appliance that creates some sort of physical output, and connect it to a network, what you've actually done is invent a new kind of printer and printers are, of course, the devil's machines

If you let your car roll into stuff because you left the handbrake off as many times as Sam Altman let his models 'go rogue' you'd be getting jail time for negligence

Hallucination is such a strange concept to apply to an AI because if a real ass person answered something like an AI 'hallucination' you would just say they are wrong. We essentially ascribe a degree of helplessness to genAI that we don't extend to people, which is weird!!!

Sometimes I look at how celebrities address a controversy or a scandal and wonder if they even have a publicist, and if they do: what the fuck are they doing???

I love how liberal currents types point to Hasan Piker as a driving force of socialism when he's literally only just started reading some of the books you would count as 'babies first communism book'. Like bro, I wish this guy was as radical as you seem to think he is.

I'm the sort of guy who buys most of his books in the 'well used and kinda grotty' condition, but recently a lot of 'used' books on EBay have turned up like new. Turns out, the grotty book market moved to Vinted, which I thought was just for clothes.
