“I worry that…young people will lose the ability to compose elegant prose, creative writing will atrophy, and literature will be reduced to a series of artless prompts, dank memes, and eggplant emojis. It doesn’t help that the AI industry is led by creepy weirdos like Altman and Elon Musk…”🎯

I really enjoyed my conversation with the musician, computer scientist, and generative AI pioneer Maya Ackerman, whose terrific new book, CREATIVE MACHINES: AI, ART & US, is out today.

Here is the video, along with some of the transcript and my thoughts on AI at the top:

With all the gutting Grand Dragon...er, Chief Justice...Roberts has already done, I didn't realize there was any more of the Voting Rights Act to gut.

How DARE you. Get off my feed with your ignorant, stupid slander. CJ is a disgusting liar—and recently exposed as such in civil court, which should help dimwits like you figure out who the actual chaos agents are. Leave the commentary to people capable of discernment. Go fuck yourself.

That may be so, but you have cited an unreliable source.

I agree. And needless to say, Peter Thiel is not clever. The name of his creepy spyware company derives from Lord of the Rings, a book he seems to believe is pro-Sauron.

This is why I've always described it as an insurgency. A violent, racist, isolationist, terroristic insurgency to fundamentally change the US into their image using the republican party to legitimize their anti-American movement.

We need our version of Nuremberg trials, the sooner the better. We will not survive as a democracy without that.
