@minnesotaorchestra.org I’m disappointed to see Harry Potter on the calendar again There’s a direct line between the Harry Potter IP and ongoing material harm to the LGBT community. You should not be helping Joanne Røwling in her crusade

More and more I’m worried that the neural impact of intense AI usage is part of the plan. Tech has an established history by creating dependence, whether by undercutting or leveraging addiction patterns…

Watching Americans make light of the European heat wave hits different after surviving the Pacific Heat Dome. Like, until you’ve experienced a heat wave in a place that’s built from the ground up for a different climate, you don’t know what you’re talking about

Linkedin is essentially overrun by bots, and what’s worse is it wants to be overrun by bots. Like spam, popups, and software before it, the malicious attack has been repackaged as an innovation.

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

I’ve noticed a trend where young people refer to pre-HD game consoles as analog, and I’ll admit my gut reaction is “what are you talking about, there’s a computer chip in there, it’s digital” but I guess if you’re referring to just the video signal it kinda makes sense?

I don't know about you, but this sends a chill down my spine. I value the skills I have like a home I built with my bare hands, and the thought that something could erode that home without me even noticing sends my equilibrium out of whack www.businessinsider.com/ai-deskillin...

AI is boosting output while quietly chipping away at the skills behind it.

The phrase "AI isn't going away" might be true, but only because the US government doesn't work anymore. It's been that way for so long we've forgotten it's the government's job to sometimes tell businesses, "no, you can't make peregrine falcons go extinct because it saves three cents."

Something we've seen over and over again is tech companies pretending they've revolutionized something when they're actually just using hype money to undercut competition and establish a monopoly and drive prices back up AI might usurp human work but it won't be because it's cheaper or better

I am still damned proud of how this video came out. The theory/motivation was If we can't explain our band/concept/etc to someone in 3 minutes or less, then we have lower chances of getting them interested. So we did our pitch in two minutes 45 seconds:) "Please say yes?" ...@magfest.org said yes:)

I’m increasingly convinced that the algorithm of linkedin has been tilted entirely towards manufacturing a sense of inevitability of AI. It’s all I get, in spite of using every tool available to try and stem the flow. Always from people I’ve never heard of with Mad-Libs profile bios.

I keep getting recruitment messages from “exciting projects!” that are clearly audio AI training I always decline politely and then keep my head down because I don’t want to come off as strident But it’s also like… no? No I won’t help you automate my own job? And why should that be controversial?

A journey I’m on is accepting that there is no logic to the music I like and don’t like “That song is too repetitive!” Then why do I listen to Phillip Glass? “This genre is too formulaic!” Then why do I listen to Jungle/DnB? “That singing style is too affected!” Then why do I listen to Tom Waits?

The new counter argument against environmental concerns with AI is, “look! My one AI movie used less water and carbon than this hollywood blockbuster!” Which is kind of akin to, “You say we need public transpo to reduce congestion, but look at how much smaller my car is than a train!”

Everything about what’s happening in America is terrible and insane, and I’m troubled by the growing sense that that is a controversial thing to say. During Trump’s first term, I would never hesitate to say that. Why now is there a miasma of “just keep your head down”?
