I'm a Byliner. No clearly identified human author/artist, no sale, no read, no view, no click. Pretty sure my meager follower count is inflated by bots and scammers. I do not maintain my posting history.

I feel like this is somehow risky to say, but it shouldn't be: I cannot possibly care deeply about every issue. I cannot possibly be informed about every issue. Nobody can. I'd rather be honest than performative. I'd rather read what those who do care have to say and keep my mouth shut.

I look forward to hiring a Chief AI Officer whose job will be to just tell anyone who suggests using AI for anything to shut the fuck up.

“AI” is truly the perfect crime
Plausibly presenting a magic slave to consumers, businesses and investors when it depends on criminal and unethical behavior to create and operate and is ultimately irretrievably broken and can never work as you promise (and you know it).
It’s fascinating and scary.

@dmihalopoulos.bsky.social - Still nothing regarding the mythical 'AI' policy from CPM (@wbez.org / @chicago.suntimes.com)? Still no timeline, no information whatsoever? Yes, you shared that you've seen it sent around. But doesn't the trust of your listers and readers warrant more?

If you believed techbros any time in the last quarter century, we’d be ferried around in self-driving cars on a Mars colony right now, while occasionally popping a pill to stay 25 forever and getting a foot massage (or other things) from a robot.
Why do people believe the techbros about AI now?

They are so unbelievably and terribly desperate. You don’t do things like this unless you are scraping the bottom of the barrel for revenue and adoption. This is the ultimate form of the tech industry: a despicable, wretched, entitled, destructive, abusive digital despot that wants to con your kids.
So, uh... I just did a Google search which was not about homework... because I haven't been in school in decades, and I got this pop up from Google. And, like, I actually think there are ways to use AI in school properly, but this kind of advertising from Google seems... super sketchy.
