They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

not to be too uhhHH honest on main about my personal life but man

The worst part about being chronically single isn’t the solitude, which I enjoy. I even enjoy loneliness; that melancholic note, issued from a single, plucked string pulled taut over an emptiness. The worst part is the ambiguity, which makes me susceptible to folk remedies, trite platitudes, and magical thinking. It will come when you least expect it. You’re looking too hard. What’s your sign? You’ll know it when you feel it. You’ll just know.

Thank you. I’ll stop looking until I find it. I’ll stop thinking about it so it can take me by surprise. This isn’t how anything else works, but I’ll give it a go. I wake up most mornings with a vague hope, smothered by the hour, and cruelly rekindled in sleep. I’ll have to stop doing that.

okay this is obvs coming from a place of deep skepticism but can someone booster-adjacent explain how we get to ASI or AGI when model training seems fundamentally constrained by human generated input data?how is it that some people don’t expect eventual data paucity to enforce an upper bound?

Babe 😭 (Genuinely, read this right now. It's excellent.)

To be fair, I’m not doing so great with men. I told my most recent date that I was working on a novella. “Because you’re Mexican?” he asked. I asked what he meant. “Isn’t a novella a Mexican novel?” Before him was the guy who confessed over drinks that he didn’t “believe in Helen Keller,” because there was “no way she actually flew that plane.” I asked if he meant Amelia Earhart. “Who?” I slept with both of them.

The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.

A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

“Ze zijn wettelijke verplicht over de milieubelasting te rapporteren, maar veel bedrijven doen dat niet. Bij andere bedrijven ontbreken belangrijke gegevens over het water- en stroomgebruik.” Waarom is voor grote bedrijven wetteloosheid en voor overheden het gebrek aan handhaving de norm geworden?

It was powerful. The simple mind of a child can be profound. The deportations are for them.
