rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

The effortless shift in discourse from people insisting that anything that isn't a white statue of a dead roman dude isn't art like 3 years ago to demanding that they be treated as visionary artists for typing" x-men mystique big boobs she's my girlfriend" into a prompt window

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

the fact that dealing with rampant lying and its much worse downstream consequences involves cultivating values rather than just imposing formal frameworks or rules (legal or otherwise) is a tough pill to swallow for some. but it is indeed medicine
Pointing out that something is incorrect definitely isn't sufficient - the *culture* of "it is bad to make incorrect statements, good to promptly and clearly retract and apologize for them, and disqualifying to keep making them deliberately" is the framework needed for fact-checking to plug into.

Of all the sci fi stories about artificial intelligence I can't think of a single one that proposed an actually very stupid computer flattering and sycophanting human users into completely losing their sense of reality.
The AI apocalypse, in fiction, involves AIs that are actually intelligent.

Doing my periodic rewatch of High Fidelity, my favorite movie about a guy who absolutely doesn't get it.
And this movie makes me feel older and older every time
- Mixtapes / CDs
- So much good prop work re: corded telephones
- Record collecting being the go-to hobby for middle-aged nerds (oh no)

It tells you a lot about this fucking country that the headline includes the record of a high school football team, and not the reason for the warrants.
Coach Turner is now wanted on ten warrants, including five counts of possession of child pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor, according to Va. State Police. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Virginia H.S. football coach goes missing as undefeated team makes it to the playoffs

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

In UX, one of the lessons you have to learn is to balance what people say they want with what they actually want.
Looking at this, people want to ask questions without judgement. They want to access knowledge. They want free time.
The problem is AI only offers illusions of this.
