You don’t get to promote yourself as a vegan friendly company when you’re using tech that’s literally killing the environment. Not without being massively disingenuous.
You also can’t pretend you’re pro-artist either. AI is artistic theft being used to try and make artists extinct. Fuck off.

Neo-conservatism, which now dominates on both sides of the Atlantic, is an exercise in concluding "this is an unknowable mystery" in response to extremely well-understood events.
Over at the Daily Telegraph, they're scratching their heads as to why the former mining and steel producinv city of Gliwice in Poland is now 45% more prosperous than Darlington... and why it has new shiny infrastructure... without mentioning EU funds for urban and regional development...

Need some stuff from the store and realizing that means I have to either go to the store, sick, on Black Friday, or be a dick and make a delivery person go to the store on Black Friday. 🙃

Okay…it’s a holiday and the editors aren’t paying attention (probably):
Here is a link to the first volume of Black’s Myth. The whole thing. Because I’m thankful for you. If you enjoy it, pass it on.

Time To Dust Off The Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide

A little talked about symptom of ADHD is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).
This is an intense feeling that everyone hates you.
RSD comes in waves, and does not require events to trigger it. You can be walking along with friends having a great time and suddenly you feel an outsider.

Just the fact that OpenAI is arguing that they shouldn't be liable for people killing themselves after ChatGPT helps them do it because suicide is against their TOS should be grounds for an immediate judgement against them.

Dreamt that they made a Star Trek soulslike and the biggest complaint was that the split-second timing and pattern memorization also applied to conversations with NPCs and no one could get past the boss fight with Q that was just a conversation

In Minnesota police set up a sting operation to catch child sex traffickers.
They caught 16 men. No immigrants. No trans people. All US Citizen Men.
One was an ICE fascist who said, "I'm ICE boys" when arrested, perhaps expecting to get special attention. He was arrested anyway.
So much winning.

I.e., language is not integral to complexity of thought, depth of knowledge, or ability to process information, so an "AI" based on language is inherently incapable of becoming "intelligent"
I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

It so exhausting to have it proven over and over again that using taxes to actually help people is better in every conceivable way than not helping them, but it never happens because a small group of spiteful, selfish people control the economy and government
Just like UBI & Medicare for All would be much better uses of taxpayer dollars.
Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?
Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… #HousingFirst
