My company just replaced the editors team with FUCKING CHATGPT
Anyone interested in a bylingual economics journalist with 10 years of experience?
(No, I wasn't an editor, but now I'm being asked to use ChatGPT to edit my own work. No fucking way)

Ehhhh...why are we grouping "fair" and "poor" here?

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

The economy is now 5% 'little spider that sits on your shoulder telling you to poison the town's reservoir'
“Soelberg did not turn violent until ChatGPT became his sole confidant, validating a wide range of wild conspiracies, including a dangerous delusion that his mother was part of a network of conspirators spying on him, tracking him, and making attempts on his life.”

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

What it's like having ADHD:
"Huh, I need to shave." *walks toward the bathroom* "Oh what sweater should I wear today" *walks into the bedroom, takes off pajama pants and selects a sweater and puts that on, walks back out to the living room* "Okay, pants - wait, I need to clean out my bag...*

I’ve been seeing this cover over and over and I just…
In the original you’re aware of the horror of falling, but the body positions of the workers are solid on the beam. Here, most of them should be falling off, yet they don’t, because they live in an unreal, consequence-free space.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Keeping getting ads for an annoying Telegraph podcast, where someone says, "the top 1% in this country are paying for 29% of services in this country. It's unsustainable, it's unjust..."
You're right. It really should be even higher.
Imagine thinking that clip actually brings people in.

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked
