It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.

I will say: both Lucent and Windstar were given GLOWING profiles about their insane business that spent billions to make like, $37m a month. And there were so many companies like this! These guys just did a bit of the old “fraud”.

This was well done and also what I’ve been saying for years, glad to see more people on it
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Every presenter giving a talk with AI generated images.
Every person suggesting using AI to generate survey questions in a discussion.
Every person pulling up ChatGPT to come up with "suggestions" in workshops.
Every academic using it to review papers.
I think less of all of them.

I saw some chat about Arc Raiders' use of AI voice actors recently - I'm probably not going to rerecord the talk I gave at EXAG but I thought I'd drop in a few slides about the idea that you can make generative AI ethical by getting people to sign a piece of paper to say you can use their data.
