recent Axios story on maternal health policy referenced "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. On the surface, there's nothing unusual about that. What wasn't originally mentioned, however, was that these findings were made up. Clicking through the links revealed (as did a subsequent editor's note and clarification by Axios) that the public opinion poll was a computer simulation run by the artificial intelligence start-up Aaru. No people were involved in the creation of these opinions. The practice Aaru used is called silicon sampling, and it's suddenly everywhere. The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing. Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use A.I. agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.
As I’ve said a million times, I’m not particularly against smart uses of AI
This is the stupidest use I’ve seen yet though
a screenshot from episode 38 of the Digimon Adventure anime reboot that came out in 2020. it shows the character Gabumon being crucified. this is after he is kidnapped by Mephistomon, a fallen angel digimon, & then ritualistically sacrificed to try and resurrect an ancient evil god digimon named Milleniumon. this was in the cartoon. they showed this to children.
today we give thanks to Gabumon, who long ago digi-died for our digi-sins 🙏
This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Got one pair, gave them to my mum. Don’t think she’s interested cos it was ultimately a joke pair, so might sneak ‘em back if they’re that good

Let this be the motto of the AI movement.
Some people just want to watch the world burn
(This is entirely a satirical bit, Mike's still lovely.) He got a 14th trophy in Sly 3, despite being at 13/37. A perfect number of trophies. And also he admitted to being a murderer, but I think that's less egregious tbh
