Anti-vaxxers exposing Hays Code ass diseases to the general public is antisocial behavior that at one point would have required compulsory isolation and social exile. Instead, the Raw Milk Typhoid Mary community is allowed to continue their dunderheaded agenda unabated. Unsettles my spirit.

If companies actually cared about users complying with a Terms of Service, they'd put up a legalese-to-human translation with search and hyperlinks.
The only functional purpose of a Terms of Service is to deny liability.

It’s not that I think everything is about COVID, but COVID keeps getting ignored — even though it’s still a major health issue in an ongoing pandemic.

Do people truly not see how completely ABSURD this is? It is ridiculous that we had this reference tool that is completely unreliable now because dipshits make money off that. We are drowning in stupidity.
Also death. You risk death.
See AI canning recipes.

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Can’t put it any more succinctly. My thoughts exactly.
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

I’ve been trying to find ways to articulate my hatred of AI-generated music that won’t come across as snobbish, but most of what I have to say about it can be boiled down to this:
None of the artists I like in any genre, regardless of era, make music that can be accurately predicted by a computer.

So when the next administration is sworn in..stay with me here, tear up every contract Musk has with the government and ban his companies from bidding on government contracts. Then nationalize Space X and Starlink and start an investigation into his tax situation. That a good start.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.
