i feel like a lot of the disconnect between the ai boosters and the rest of us is about the fact that they do not think the humanities matter, therefore political, sociological, and cultural critiques don’t matter. “people are using this” is not an answer to “this is a detriment to society”

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

How does a society manage to take back control of their media from the richest in the world who have all the money(power) to make anything they want their toy?
What guardrails do we need to invent to make sure this kind of bullshit can't happen again?
I believe this is the work of our time.

Friends initiate conversations. Friends speak of their own volition. Friends have their own interests and passions they want your input on.
When someone says an AI treats them as a 'friend', it is because they treat their friends like appliances.
Or they would notice the difference.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

Absolutely horrific. ICE detained and abducted a minor—a high school student—who the family identified as a US citizen.
