Grok's new "feature" that allows users to undress women in photos posted to X is a new low for the platform. If you're somehow still active over there, I urge you to let this be your final straw.

One trillion of AI investment is riding on this being legal
So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves

When people ask what it is counting down to just respond "the Incident" as if it needs no explanation.

Just tried to find the nice thing that Dana Delany wrote about my review blogs the other year, and AI has instead served me up this alarming revelation

I love thinking about attribution errors in this context & I believe skill-based beliefs is the right frame! That is what our observational study of developers suggested back in 2023: that fraught, dehumanizing skill-based identity beliefs can make every change from AI...

The role is the church is to minister to sinners.

It’s a hard message if you are serious.
Racism is a sin. Stirring up hatred against migrants is a sin. Fascism is a sin.
You cannot find your way to faith by decrying the core tenets of that faith.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Who's strapped in there, all dressed up in Imipolex G?
Time for some Math!
500 sheets of paper ≈ 5.2 cm
1000000/500 *.052 meters = 104 meters
A stack of all these papers that they didn't release would be 104 m tall or about the height of a Saturn V rocket

Last night I had the privilege of accompanying some friends to a concert by the Barnsley Youth Choir . Lacking context, I guess I wasn't prepared for what a freaking world class outfit they are. Wow. Just wow. (Video from a different recent performance.)

Am out and about in 'middle England'. People are not in a permanent frothing rage, in fact bar a few grumbles about late buses they seem quite happy.
At some point we might want to wonder whether it isn't just children who should have limits on their screen time.

If you're a male journalist writing a piece on how boys do not need to be taught basic respect for others and opposition to misogyny and racism then you may want to stock up on ready meals as the chances are your wife and kids are going to leave you within the next 12 months.
