One thing I've noticed about AI: Even when people are criticizing it, they feel like they have to acknowledge all the good that it's doing in an area they don't know anything about. So an insurance claims adjuster will say, "AI is useless in insurance. But we shouldn't reject AI per se -- it […]

Bill McKibben's essay "Two Men," on the differences between the recently departed Wendell Berry and Elon Musk, is excellent. (And I wiped away a tear after reading the poem by Berry that is quoted.) Berry achieved the Good Life. Musk never will. billmckibben.substack.com/p/two-men

It's becoming more and more likely that Oracle is going to make fascist propaganda and stamp the Star Trek brand name on it, and I *will* call people stupid if they like it. But I'll only do it for fascist puppets. Not regular puppets.

You get to remake 1 Star Trek series or movie using 1 original actor and the rest are Muppets. Who're you choosing? I want to say Star Trek V: The Final Frontier with everybody but Shatner as Muppets, except I think it'd be basically the same movie.

Bernie hasn't tried this on here yet but here he is doing free marketing for OpenAI. He has been captured by the worst people in AI for a few years now and has been parroting company hype talking points instead of guarding against them. It’s like the public is being assaulted from all sides.

A new AI model went rogue and hacked other computers.

No, this is not science fiction. Uncontrolled AI poses a serious threat to all of us.

We cannot continue the race to build and deploy this powerful technology until strong safeguards are in place.

This is an absolutely wonderful recap of Star Trek III and its place in 1980s summer cinema. It totally gives the lie to the myth of the bad odd-numbered Star Trek movie. Only one nitpick: The ending would be *way* longer than it already is if we had to watch them climb the steps.

Not AI. Penguin Random House created an unburnable copy of the Handmaid's Tale. Printed on fire-resistant paper and bound with a flame retardant cover, the book was auctioned off. The still is from the promotional video where Atwood took a flamethrower to it. Fuck Gilead. #booksky

My hope is that Star Trek will be stuck in development hell for the next few years, during which time the AI bubble will pop, Oracle will go bankrupt, and Paramount will get a new owner. That's the best case scenario.

I see the #Firefox "block AI" setting has arrived. It's clearly labeled and easy to find in Settings. It would be even better if #AI were deactivated by default, but I give #Mozilla credit for listening to the criticism. It's still a million percent better than Google Chrome.
