This morning I dreamed that I woke up from a dream wondering if it was generated by #AI. This caused a similar flavor of confusion during my for-real wake up. I cannot express how enraged I am that my subconscious has been colonized like this. #unplugitnow
#AI does not create art - it bypasses art. #unplugitnow
I’m always curt and rude with Large Language Monsters, not to save the #ai overlords money, but because I fucking despise LLMs and would never bless them with human courtesy. #unplugitnow
I should change my homespun hashtag from #unplugitnow to #AIwasamistake
it doesn't actually matter whether #AGI is imminent or not. it only matters if the #ai that does exist can do enough damage to bring down civilization when weaponized by global jagoffs. by that measure, i'd say we have arrived. #unplugitnow
this smells like retroactive justification of moving fast and breaking things, leaving the world population to suffocate in the #ai externalities. #unplugitnow
it's cute and all, that doctors seem to, maybe, use Large Language Monsters to improve their clinical decisions equitably. doesn't come close to justifying the tsunami of disruption that comes with the deployment of #ai across society. cure a disease, or #unplugitnow!

We're all over here waiting for chatbot "agents" to do something impressive; meanwhile, #Elon is the most powerful #ai agent we've seen yet. #unplugitnow
The Algorithm is already doing its thing, through subservient, easily-deceived humans. #ai #unplugitnow
He used it before he fucking understood it. Just like those creating it! #ai #unplugitnow
Oh, LLM agents are nearly able to have people whacked. Waddayagonna do? #ai #unplugitnow
One in ten kids report having a nonconsensual nude made of them and sent to classmates. Cure a fucking disease or fuck off. #ai #unplugitnow
Google DeepShit. #ai #unplugitnow
alas, all is culture war and culture war is all. #ai #unplugitnow
I wish more public intellectuals would be transparent about their use of Large Language Monsters like @robertwrighter.bsky.social is here. I also hope they always assume LLMs have an agenda they are not sharing with us! #ai #unplugitnow
I find it strange to identify with either side of this specific issue. If it’s not actively curing a deadly disease, #unplugitnow. #ai
Cure a disease or #unplugitnow
You mean, “this will probably destroy all we hold dear but I want the glory of having created it” isn’t a sound moral code? #ai #unplugitnow
There is SO much #AI anthropomorphizing in this paper by Anthropic and it ... fuck it, who cares about that. just stop doing its bidding, you fucking nodes, you passive i/o shitbags. Cure a disease or #unplugitnow
do it #unplugitnow #ai
How much energy did this burn #unplugitnow #ai
i want to believe this is effective. i don't. everything happening now is a sloppy prelude for what is coming next, which will not, by definition, resemble anything we call "AI" - our only hope, of which there is approximately none, is to #unplugitnow
this #AI startup tries to acknowledge externalities of its tech, can't do better than "avoid dystopia / addiction bad, maybe" #unplugitnow
