AI will not “get better”, the gulf between promised use cases and actual use cases is the thing that seems to be growing exponentially, not the coherence or qualify of the software. They are trying to warp all of society around their addictive, manipulative, utterly pathetic synthetic imagination.

Fuck I’m gonna miss the internet, I feel like I’ve been at a wake in slow motion ever since Musk bought Twitter.

The mere fact that they’ll be exploiting other people is my problem.

Paul Atreides is a bitch, I’ve been subjected to this digital fucking pain box for decades now.

This makes me sad.

Actually sad.

Instagram is the only social media platform I use where I follow like my mom and childhood friends and cousins and local tattoo artists and businesses, and I guess that’s over now. At that point all my phone will be to me is a box for mainlining pain.

Visa and Mastercard have the opportunity to do something really funny.

Okay well, I’ll be deleting my Instagram account on December 15th, and I think you should do the same.

And also, the product is so wildly addictive, that everyone who uses habitually is going to use any bad faith argument to justify using. It’s like a personalized Skinner box. It’s a slot machine where you get to pick the ugly graphics.

The product of LLMs is irreducibility incomplex. Conceptual vacuum waiting to be filled by a viewer both existentially terrified and momentarily soothed by the Skinner Box.

It’s addictive and it’s extractive. It can never, ever be “art”. Be serious. It’s a slot machine.

Hot take:

Generative AI is an addictive product that promises to ease the psychological pain of living under capitalism in the same exact way as shopping addiction and sports betting.

It won’t, it’s just an extraction tool, but if we don’t acknowledge it we’re going to fail a lot of people.

AI bots seem to exist first and foremost to serve the needs and desires of violent incels, men who hate women, divorce and the mere concept of feminism. This shit is for those channers who openly fantasized about surgically putting a dog’s brain in a woman’s body.

One of the implicit suggestions of the original Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049, and Ex Machina is that tech bros invented AI out of a desire to own a women that it’s okay to sexually and emotionally brutalize without facing any legal consequences.

That seems to be COMPLETELY accurate.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Literally that part. So many of the trials using LLMs that I’ve heard about so far are like “we fed all this data into an black box and it decided the model of camera used to take the images constituted a crucial diagnostic datapoint”

“I’m not a socialist, I believe (leftist economic theory derived from first principles based on personal lived experience). I’m not a crazy socialist, okay? I’m normal and socialism isn’t normal, ergo I am not a socialist. The word socialist is really undermining our cause, (socialism).”

Leftists have been warning the rest of America about this organization and their ambitions to become a brownshirt militia for well over a decade now, and I am never going to tolerate being called alarmist ever again.

The general tone of public discourse across the board is so juvenile it makes me want to climb out of my own skin.

“We’re going to cure cancer”

Are y’all finally realizing that wasn’t a silver lining, it was a lie to get you to support this jackoff and his jacking off?

So glad we’re burning down rainforests and drying up lakes to help total losers masturbate in an entirely new way

The inherent corollary of "this is murder" is that we prosecute and punish people who commit murder.

It is embarrassing that, as real science is under attack on an unprecedented scale in America, Scientific American has decided to use its platform and credibility to shill for the slop machine. Just embarrassing.

In fact, hiding your political beliefs behind branding intended to obfuscate your goals and values is the thing Nazis do because they’re ashamed.

I am not ashamed. I am very proud of what I stand for, actually.
