Justin, saying that AI replaces cognition is exactly congruent to saying that Ponzi schemes replace mutual funds. Convincing simulacra that appear to be doing impossible things are not replacing anything except other grifts. As labor saving tech they’re more mechanical turk than spinning jenny.

I’d say this might help… but they probably don’t know who big bird is either. youtube.com/watch?v=fAXO...

Thanks for watching, James. We did record the reconciliation panel that followed the premiere as well and will be posting that to the film page soon.

And most importantly, thank you to those affected by what happened for sharing their stories and how this affected them, particularly Blair Shelton, who sued the City for return of his DNA samples and won. See all of aadl's records about the DNA Dragnet here: aadl.org/taxonomy/ter...

Huge thanks to Councilor Cynthia Harrison for originating and producing this project, and to filmmaker Aliyah Mitchell for doing such an incredible job with very challenging subject matter. And big thanks to the AADL Archives Team for the research and digitization that supported this project.

The weirdest thing about this whole kerfuffle is that there is now a company tag on Techdirt for The Brown Jug.

James, thank you for sharing your story. Was this at Borders? Or Shaman Drum? Shortly after the event the film will be available to watch online at aadl.org/arippleinannarbor. Big thanks to Ann Arbor City Councilor Cynthia Harrison for her leadership in making this important project happen.

LEGENDARY SUCCESS

How exotic! I’ll try the bender egg brunch with a Rombouts and a roll and butter if you can spot me a ha’penny.

Perhaps in the Summer Game points shop someday... stay tuned!

This is great, Mita, thank you for sharing your talk! I particularly like tying it back to the Mechanic’s Institute Chess Club, brilliant. Thanks for playing!

I had barely walked in the door and @cap10nemo.bsky.social is quoting you at me. 😂
