The absolute seething resentment that people with names like Ta-Nehisi Coates, Nikole Hannah-Jones and Clint Smith write best-sellers and win awards. It doesn't matter how few black writers there are, every single one is a usurper of their birthright

If anything, it’s worse that you’re using it for shit you can easily do yourselves and not seeing any productivity gains for. You’re helping train mass surveillance tools so you can generate a harder to find Lorem Ipsum? For THAT? Fuck you.

Wowwwwww
In post-independence Kenya, this language didn't disappear. It simply changed its function. It became the official language, the language of opportunity, the new marker of class and sophistication. The Charles Njonjos and Tom Mboyas of their time used it to stamp their status in society. The ability to speak and write this formal, "correct" English separated the haves from the have-nots. It was the key that unlocked the doors to university, to a corporate job, to a life beyond the village. The educational system, therefore, doubled down on teaching it, preserving it in an almost perfect state, like a museum piece. And right there is the punchline to this long, historical joke. An “AI”, a large language model, is trained on a vast corpus of text that is overwhelmingly formal. It learns from books published over the last two centuries. It learns from academic papers, from encyclopaedias, from legal documents, from the entire archive of structured human knowledge. It learns to associate intelligence and authority with grammatical precision and logical structure. The machine, in its quest to sound authoritative, ended up sounding like a KCPE graduate who scored an 'A' in English Composition. It accidentally replicated the linguistic ghost of the British Empire.

The magic of Rob Reiner is when someone says he was the best to ever do it, they could be talking about like 8 different things.
