École des Bro-ArtsI never imagined that the Turing test would fall within my lifetime. Nor did I imagine that I would feel so disheartened by it.

In the same way that the soul-less corporate memeplex of millennial computing found new life in vaporwave, or how Hotel Pools invents a lush false-memory dreamscape of 1980s aquaria, I expect what we call “AI slop” today will be the Frutiger Aero of 2045.

Owen@aphyr Mulling on New Media a bit: _books_ - even in the amputated form of a Substack or a LinkedIn Thinkpiece - represent the idea that the written word has some inherent value, something that makes it worth collecting in durable form. _How_ durable varies greatly - Tolstoy or Tacitus might be read centuries later, while a Linkpiece forgotten after days - but it's always there.
@aphyr The LLM-mediated information future you describe, convincingly, and the LLM-mediated information future companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are advancing, are predicated on the written word being eminently disposable - not just forgotten after a few minutes, but irrelevant almost as soon as it's read, or heard via TTS.
