“January 24, 2020: Documented human to human transmission and an asymptomatic infection”
It was known very early on that COVID infections are often asymptomatic (now we know it’s roughly up to half of them). But this fact is now largely memory holed within the general population.

What did we learn about COVID in 2020? A thread on studies from the first year..

Every time we are expected to say “AI has SOME good uses”, even though the kind currently discussed (the slop producing kind) is not the same thing as the “good at spotting statistical anomalies” kind, and that disingenuous bullshit is to try to make people shut up about the slop engines!

This is specifically about AI use in humanities disciplines within academia, which is clear from context- this crap is extremely harmful in that setting. Inevitably, people show up to be like "AI finds cancer cells tho".
NOT THE SUBJECT, and that conflation has been inflicted upon us intentionally.

You absolutely will not convince a bunch of historians and sociologists and whoever else is in this thread that you know more than we do about this and we should use it. I wish you AI enthusiasts would stop wading into our conversations. You have nothing helpful to contribute and are snarky.

It’s not a refusal to re-enter society.
It’s not shaping your life around Covid avoidance.
It’s adaptation. It’s a desire to protect health. It’s being willing to accept that things change, and masking & clean air are the way forward.

A lot of companies seem to be under the impression that we only care if gAI was used in the final product and using it for concept art/placeholder art is ok.
gAl is poison that should be nowhere near any creative process. Not a single asset. Not a single placeholder sign.
Give no inch.

From 2024. Apparently missed that the first time around. This just destroys my hype for Dark Heresy. If Rogue Trader was made without AI “helping” the concept art phase, there is zero reason to push it on to Dark Heresy development. I am gutted.

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.
For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

Do you shape your life around avoiding E. coli and drinking only 'clean' water?
What is 'clean' water, anyway, and how does it differ from disease-free water, which is what engineers and scientists supply you with?
We could also supply you with disease-free air, in bulk, via ASHRAE 241. Cool, eh?

Honestly this video is horrifying *before* you think about how these creators have the gall to spout this nonsense and then claim to have a Ghibli aesthetic.
But after you realize that, it’s downright repulsive.

The team behind Obojima not only don’t care about Ghibli outside of the aesthetic, they also fully do not understand it. They’re either complete buffoons or actively bad people and the truth likely lies in the middle.

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them.
Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”

Here’s one people have been convinced is normal: repeat exposure to a neurodegenerative & cardiovascular disease that regularly disables people. It doesn’t have to be this way.
I sometimes think about how many cigarette equivalents I smoked as a young kid while in movie theatres watching the epic movies of my childhood.
It was “normal.”
How many things do we consider normal today that we’ll one day (hopefully soon) recognize as completely insane?

The thing about the Al discourse, is that at this point, I feel like people are just looking for new reasons why it sucks as some kind of game.
We don't need new reasons why it sucks. They never fixed the old reasons. "It kills people" is literally more than we need to justify hating it.

The last time it was even a fraction as bad, SE had the basic decency to compensate players for the perpetual service interruption.
It's double frustrating now that the interruptions are worse and compensation absent.
