i had bet on the bubble popping a little quicker, and wrote a story sorta about the present while thinking we would get a lull and a redo sooner than we have

the biggest problem is that nobody that reads books actually wants to read about AI because the hype is so bad-faith. which is part of the story, set one recession in the future, but still a difficult sell on beta readers

been writing a novel grappling with interpretability research, the future of knowledge work, machine-psychology-as-a-service, and AI regulatory capture/theater for 3 years but the near-present moves too fast

20ish chapters were up on LW early on, got some readers before i needed to make big changes

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

smash with hammer then eat the pieces

did you try cursing them

i hear curses work on archaeologists

why? what's up?

There is no way the government has enough money to bail out "AI" broadly. It's too big of a bet.

Also the "AI" products most likely to implode have no strategic value. They're all consumer crap.

What's more likely is that AI just becomes another mandatory B2B SaaS expense, taxing everything.

i can't go to a city without getting 8 little treats

hell yeah

phone cameras have AI in them, to composite images from 2 or 3 or however many lenses they have, and to remove blurring

so yes, AI generated, but not by an image generator, by phone camera TPUs or whatever
