The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

I've been leery of Aronofsky ever since he claimed Italian giallo films influenced Black Swan but apparently had no idea who Mario Bava was. Still, this news disappoints me.
Darren Aronofsky you are the “Bozo of the Week”

Every time I write a ghost story, the ghost or ghosts try to possess a living person as their ultimate goal. Not sure what that says about me.

Also the subtext here is hilarious: it’s clear these AI bros know that they have yet to do much that would be described as ‘useful’ with gAI, and they’re terrified that people will notice

Hope it keeps Satya and Sam and Elon and Peter and Jensen and all the other technofascists up at night

Any Dem saying 'reform' ice or DHS is part of the problem, the only option is dump it all
It is now confirmed from multiple sources that ICE shot a legal observer dead on Portland in Minneapolis between 34th and 33rd street. The victim is dead

This seems pretty inevitable when the left party becomes obsessed with executing the right's agenda.

"My opponents are racist fascists, but I'm going to steal their ideas on immigration" impresses no one but the right-wing media, who will destroy you anyway.
It's essentially just this. Most people's personal experiences are fine, but they're convinced that the country is a hellscape.

Down year for me when it comes to movies. I haven't had much motivation to watch. Also, I watched the first six Star Trek movies, so Nimoy and the rest should be included with Shatner.

Most people's justification for using GEN AI, that I've heard, is that "everyone else" or "China" will use it and they're afraid of losing some kind of advantage.

All the evidence I'm aware of demonstrates that people who use genAI are, in the end, at a disadvantage.
When universities tout their partnerships with OpenAI, parents, faculty and everyone really should be asking how they intend to account for the increasing evidence that their technology is hurting people, especially young and vulnerable people. How many instances of harm will be enough?
Uh… check out what ChatGPT allegedly told a man before he killed his mother and then himself.

Also: I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Publishing, let me write a media literacy book, I am begging you. I keep being told that there's no appetite for this...

But how can there NOT be, when it's an urgent and pressing issue, especially with how we aggregate news + use of AI?

Agreed. It's heartbreaking when I see teachers telling kids to "just use AI for the art part" because it can do it "better" or "faster". It can't. Please don't do this to kids. You have no idea whose artistic spirit you're crushing. Same with writing. Help them figure out how to do it THEMSELVES.
I'm a comics creator. Every time I lead a workshop with kids, I see their absolute joy in drawing with their OWN HANDS. If you deny kids that joy by forcing them to type prompts into a computer, you're failing as an educator.

Shame on you for this.

The real harsh truth is those covid revisionist authors and the book critics cheering them on all support eugenics. They think that the suffering of Long Covid will never happen to them because they have better genes.
Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

The thing is, AI is chronically unreliable as a purveyor of facts. So in claims such as the one made below, replace "AI" with "Cliff from Cheers" and see how good or sensible the idea subsequently sounds.
What about this is controversial? Beginning an inquiry by using AI to survey material is a very normal and appropriate use.
