Lot of people discussing this with the idea of failing faster. I would put it to you that failure doesn’t actually have to exist at all in this conception. One of the great mistakes of the AI brouhaha is the belief that art is good because of its craft or content. It is good because it connects us.
Someone needs to explain to these people that not liking the outcome is not the same as not having your voice heard.
There was an election for mayor less than 6 months ago. The two guys who hate bikes got less than half the votes cast.
When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”
To me it seems silly to label a new 500 sq ft apartment on 4th Ave luxury when a few hundred feet away are multi-million dollar buildings that used to be small apartment buildings that are now just one guy’s house.
Luxury is a generic marketing term. It gets attached to all new construction rendering it meaningless.
Affordable housing is a specific set of policies that pegs rents in subsidized units to 30% of a tenant’s gross income if it’s below the city’s median income.
Nonprofit does not mean no money.
They can afford to pay you for your work.
I’ll settle for a similar outcome today.

Love paying $70/month to a company that threatens me with obsolescence if I don’t use the AI they’re building into the software that barely does what I paid for it to do anymore.
The future we all deserve is an old laptop that’s never been connected to the internet running a bootleg copy CS6
The dodgers west to get away from our parents and grandparents. Maybe we are the problem.

The contrast makes number 4 jump out to me.

Time to intervene.
"The tech lords knew what they were doing. Back in 2023, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen claimed that enforcing copyright law would “kill” the entire industry. Tech companies would do what they always did – move fast & break things. The things they were breaking would be us."

I was really into the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, but then they went and got all political.
Everything is bad and expensive right now, but one book I read recently made me feel good, and if you read it, it might make you feel a little better about the future, too. We don't have to accept things staying bad forever. We can demand our leaders quite literally build a better future.

Monarch Tractor raised over $240 million for its self-driving, electric tractors guided by AI that debuted in 2023. That year, Time called the vehicle one of the year’s greatest inventions, and Forbes predicted that the company would become the world’s next billion-dollar startup.
I can’t wait for ChatGPT and Claude to consult Cardinals Dolan on the moral way to hide money from abuse victims in a cemetery.
I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
But why do they all have such strong opinions on Latverian politics?
I’m pretty sure that’s Barry Manilow
