Daylight is a psyop. It's actually 11 pm!

It will ALWAYS be terrible. That's why you edit.

If a man reads in a basement, and no woman can see him, is he still a performative male?

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. That's fucking grimy.

In light of recent events, the media has switched from "AI is an all-powerful genius that will take your jobs" to "no need to fret, everyone!"
While the tech industry itself has committed to the doomer 'end-of-days' fake AGI hype.

The Handmaid’s Tale Does a Better Job of Representing Feminism than Modern Pop-Feminists Margaret Atwood’s landmark novel is far from a tubthumping TikTok girlboss narrative

AI came in; critical thinking went straight out of the window.
Question people's reluctance to question LLMs and they think you're bitter.

We have to stop trying to help them. They are only going to learn once something significant breaks.

At the Minerva private exhibition at the Mall Galleries today. Some astonishing work in that exhibition. Absolutely incredible.

Enough with the supervillains that want to take over/destroy the world with bombs. Where are the bond villains that want to steroid the oxygen content to Cambrian levels, in turn creating the conditions for massive insects.

#1. The disembodied howling of the damned increases in presence, and gains a curious, unnerving distortion.

AI company releases Model 1.
"It's so dangerous!"
AI company releases Model 2.
"It's so dangerous!"
AI company releases Model 3.
"It's so dangerous!"

Do you think the reason all these models are going rogue in testing is just because they have to deal with tech bros all day?

The narrative being pushed on AI being a hypercompetent super-genius is so distant from reality.

I can't tell what's worse:

That so many outlets are publishing hype pieces that are staggeringly ignorant or outright lying.

Or

That so many people believe the narrative.

They're quite sinister on the march...

I can't wait for the research on AI psychosis, because it affects everyone - whether you're dumb as a rock or smarter than a rock.

Which indicates we're more susceptible to ego-based manipulation than we'd like to think. Even if you've got some basic street smarts.

Can't complain, really.

"Prompt better, bro" discourse is just mealy-mouthed excuses.

If an LLM's output quality is dependent on a specific, hyper-detailed manner of prompting, then the AI isn't intelligent.

Humans consistently output better work with significantly worse 'prompts'.

Think better.

How is it that there are so many businesses with websites that make it more or less impossible to tell what they actually do?

You need one sentence in your 'about us' section, and 90% can't seem to manage even that much.

"Social murder (German: sozialer Mord) is a concept used to describe an unnatural death that is believed to occur due to social, political, or economic oppression, instead of direct violence."
- Wikipedia

Libertarianism, capitalism, socialism, communism: they all end in the same Hobbesian state of nature.

Economics at its core is a survival of the fittest battle royale.

The restriction of arms is mostly an attempt to control who gets to kill who.

Wikipedia Editors Tried and Tried to Work With AI Content, Eventually Realized It Was Total Trash and Banned It Entirely Editors on the English-version of Wikipedia overwhelmingly banned the use of AI to generate or rewrite articles.

TAKE. THE. FUCKING. HINT.

Must accept? Says who? Fucking make me.
You didn't write shit, you fraud.

Increasingly the case as outlets limit the access that LLMs have to their content.
I make LLMs provide primary, secondary, tertiary sources. Early on, they just made shit up. There was a brief decent point.

Recently, I've had Perplexity suggest a Reddit thread as a primary source.

I don't use AI in my writing.

AI, on the other hand, steals my writing to train up on so it can do its work.

The recent discourse about how writers use it but pretend they don't pisses me off. If you're using generative AI to write your stories, you are pissing me off.

You. Specifically.

The current job market should radicalise Gen Z.

Early 20th c political cartoon depicting suffragettes as dowdy middle-aged women

In all seriousness though, elder millennial jokes aside, I think it’s important to resist the media framing of any mainstream resistance to the status quo as just the shrill nonsense of middle-aged women with nothing better to do. This isn’t the first time they’ve run out this playbook.

And just like that, a system problem I've been mulling for months suddenly resolves itself while I'm trying to grab a bit of cheese from the bottom of a bowl of salad.
Oh, the implications.

Poison the Well released an album in March? Alt-scene millennials must have lost their shit.

Private View ep1: Smiling with Tea YouTube video by Spare Flesh

This is awesome. Reminds me of things like Trapdoor, Manny, and Crooked Rot.

If I made millions, I'd hire people to stand outside schools and hand out bundles of banned books to kids.
