One thing I’ve instilled in my daughter from the time she could understand sentences was that we don’t kill living things unnecessarily, even if they’re icky or scary looking. Now she says ants are cute, is obsessed with moths, & gets upset with her friends when they step on bugs. Hashtag proud dad

It’s actually discouraging how much of the discourse gets diverted to “AI good or AI bad” when the obvious and more pressing issue is “AI *companies* are definitely bad”

This thing where everyone is convinced that all tech workers are hyper libertarians has got to stop. It's one of the most liberal+left leaning workforce demographics in America.

than I’ll be able to read in my life for that. I don’t think people doing original, creative work have much to worry about with LLMs. If we ever get to that point, the only good path is UBI/fully automated gay space communism, giving everyone the time and space to create for any reason at all.

additionally, group consensus working on wikipedia is precisely why the current us admin hates it, and also why no one can "train out the woke" from llms

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Another element of 1990s nostalgia that often gets ignored is how the USA was gaga for Celtic and New Age music. Remember those CD kiosks in the big box stores?

@coverdrive12.bsky.social appears not to realize that Tesla's auto results are irrelevant, as it's now all about Optimus and helping SpaceX finance the Terafab. Just kidding. It is (as it has long been) all about the Church of Elon, with Tesla in one transept & now SpaceX in the other.
