The reason people love the Ea-nāṣir story is less the vitriol and more the fact that we couldn’t be more culturally different from a 4000 years dead Sumerian but we can totally relate. It shows us that no matter our superficial differences people are just people.

one thing about me that consistently seems to shock people is that I do actually believe that all people have the right to live in freedom, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, disability, or age. like I do actually believe that and I apply it to *everyone*

Agreed, I think viewers got spoiled that there were like three major twists in the first damn season, and you just weren’t gonna be able to sustain that. I think the last two seasons were really radically different, and I definitely wanted to see how they finished it off with another season.

For all the talk of Ai replacing creatives, the reason this "Tiffany Sloan" is stealing other comedians' jokes is because Ai can't write jokes. LLMs are built on anticipating what word or piece of information you're looking for and comedy is built on surprise. Also, Christ what a weird fetish...

Franklin: My final report
Watson: Little Rosie Franklin’s research! I bet it’s something!
Franklin: ROSALIND.
Crick: Oh, that’s a big name
W: You’re getting fancy on us! Tell me—
F: Ah. I love this game.
W: Is it a scientific breakthrough in feelings?
F: Well, I suppose I have to go into hysterics or have a baby somewhere, good day gentlemen
W: GO, GO

C: Nice

I can’t emphasize this enough — “AI” wasn’t born corrupt and toxic. For ~75 years, it was mathematicians and scientists doing interesting, thoughtful work and trying to solve problems, making only the usual human mistakes. What “AI” did to machine learning is as tragic as what it did to artists.

Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.
