I used to have a tumblr (I think it might still exist but I can't find it) where I would edit rappers I didn't like out of songs that had like 6 rappers on it cause I can't listen to a Rick Ross verse twice and still feel good about the world.

Michael Tracey is actively attempting to dox Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 rape case
Michael Tracey : If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is, get in touch and I would be happy to publish her name and identifying information. And yes -- this is 100% permitted under the First Amendment, whatever threats or emotional blackmail people might want to deploy"Report" me for what, exactly? Save your breath, scumbag. Sorry you hate the First Amendment so much. Her identity is obviously newsworthy at this point, and I will take extreme pleasure in reporting it. (Not "doxing" -- that's a total canard)

It remains incredibly funny (not to mention convenient and gratifying) that training the AI to be evil (or at least antisocial) causes it to produce objectively worse output. Maybe current abliteration techniques are good enough to overcome this but we caught a break on that one.

there was a good Adrian Tchaikovsky interview a year ago ago with Ezra Klein where Adrian basically says if you had all the time and resources in the world to write, but no one could read it, he would never write because to him writing is about the relationship between author and reader

I'd love to sit down with this guy and see his workflow, find out when he doesn't like a part of a song what he does to it. "make this part C-G-Am-F" "this part doesn't make me horny enough"

thinking about it, the only reason Choosin' Texas holds any enjoyment for me is that it reminds me of "That's How I Got To Memphis" (also how why do all the comments say "the Lindsay Clancy case brought me here") www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDHV...

there is definitely more useful and interesting AI discussion happening on X dot com but it is drowned out by like 100x more people experiencing AI psychosis and bot swarms giving each otehr anxiety. every profile is some guy claiming to run 20 start-ups and a bio that says "Let's build together"

Like the great recession was very long and painful - much longer than anyone thought it would be in fact - but like 6 years later we were mostly out of. We're now on like year 15 of e.g. "it's impossible to afford family-sized housing in SF, LA, NYC, Boston, etc" and it gets worse every year

Maybe the reason the economic vibes are so off isn't that things are *worse* than the great recession but because back then we all thought the pain was temporary, whereas the things that are wrong with the economy today have all been getting worse for a long time and show no signs of improving

Like, to a writer or artist, that’s arguably worse than plagiarism. That’s like The Thing has taken the form of you and your colleagues and the output is almost indistinguishable in short bursts. I’d get paranoid pretty fast too!

It's technically impressive we built an infinite word generator that can do this but every videogame idea I've seen just looks like Halo Infinite / Zelda / Mario / Valorant in a blender. Where's the story, where's the pathos... This is like lighting a sparkler and waving it around

unlike many other AI enthusiasts I think that there is still a good case to make that this is basically true, just as it is true that a nail can be driven without a nail gun. But with a nail gun at your disposal you can drive many more nails in a short amount of time.

reading my grandfather's memoir and he tells about how when my dad was 7 he sent the kid by himself on a non sleeper train all the way to Beijing from Nanjing, a 22 hour trip then. When they say there's no Third Spaces anymore it's more you can't do shit like this anymore unfortunately
