it turns out that “optimize for engagement” and “optimize for societal best outcomes” are opposing goals and if you look at the entire history of the tech industry you can see which of those two wins out

Those of you who've been praying for my downfall, it appears it has arrived. I don't have details yet but it looks like the trend mentioned in the screenshot is about to fuck my entire life. Side note, whatever god you prayed to for the downfall it turns out that is the one true god I guess

Discworld QOTD, from Thud!
Would a minute have mattered? No, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. Possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. Three minutes, even. You could go to five minutes, perhaps. But that was just it. If you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. So that was that. Six o'clock, prompt. Every day. Read to young Sam. No excuses. He'd promised himself that. No excuses. No excuses at all. Once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.

As an Australian this has been on my mind a lot.
A screenshot of a tumblr post from user "aokozaki" reading: Builds a machine that can use simple carpentry tools and it starts hitting people with hammers and people are like "dude what the fuck your company hit people with hammers" and you just shrug and say that it's impossible to know how responsible your autonomous agents should be considered under the eyes of the law and your machine keeps hitting people with hammers.

“Harmageddon” is one of the most important anime films you probably haven’t seen or heard of. A kind of test drive for what would become “Akira” at the end of the decade, it helped usher in the unofficial “realism” movement of the 80s. Morimoto Kouji, Nakamura Takashi, etc. worked on the film.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

This is very neat, and a little bit of #queer history / culture. Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, wrote racy gay short stories with him as the protagonist. The story stems from his 1951 sexual encounter, which led to his arrest. 🧪🏳️‍🌈

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
But the helmet has gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that work stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association.

Hard agree - if a claimant files a takedown/copyright strike on however many hundreds of channels but NEVER files suit, they get their right to claim revoked. End of. If there's a strike system for us the same should apply for claimants as well.
