As a writer, I believe genAI removes the *joy* from creating art and strangles the introspection and growth it provides.
It's also one of the most environmentally devastating uses of the underlying hardware.

This kind of thoughtless, foolish moderateness and openness to the idea that evil isn't actually evil, it's just misunderstood and used badly, is legitimately a key element of *why evil ass fucks have so much power*.

...these people are like the scientists in Alien movies who are like "we *know* these creatures will kill everyone, but what if we could *turn them into a weapon?* Huh? Did you ever think of how killing everyone is WORTH it if we can get crazy WEAPONS out of it?"

Just. Stop.

Your "reasonableness" is not reasonable. It's an acculturated personality disorder that is *extremely* useful to the ruling class who want nothing more than for you to spend time "discovering useful things to do with AI".

The "AI COULD BE GREAT IF" crowd is getting louder and louder and

Listen - if you think that "AI" could be great if, then you probably think that as long as ICE "only arrests criminals" everything will be fine (you know, like most Dem politicians) or that the Iran war would be okay if Trump had gone to Congress and

You're also a fucking clown

We need to literally destroy all LLM companies and infra looooong before we "take another look"...

Interview:

Deep down, "Donald Trump has a sense of his own limitations. That's why he's constantly on guard. He's paranoid".

When he demands power, "he's doing so from a place of pathology. He's doing so in a way that actually fuels his sense of insecurity, of his unfitness, of his unbelonging."

"So he will increasingly become more defensive, dangerous & tyrannical."

"i use ai to help me think" is such a weird concept to me because sometimes i use plain text documents to do that and if the text document started talking back to me i'd go to war with the computer

A simple step would be to use "claim" instead of "say". Stop taking them at their word.

“Officials say” does not constitute proof, especially when dealing with fascist regimes.

I wish more journalists (and their editors) did not act as if it does.

I wish restaurants understood that the reason to have a vegetarian dish on your menu even if you don't cater to vegetarians is so that people can bring their friends with them to your restaurant. You're not losing the smaller vegetarian population, you're losing the larger "people who have vegetarian friends or family members" population.

Like FFS just add the token house salad would ya? We understand the deal.

@FlashMobOfOne Oooh, both sides. Hadn't had that one today.

During the Biden administration, the Department of Justice (DOJ) maintained that the Jeffrey Epstein case was an active criminal investigation.

The Reason: Even after Epstein’s death and Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction in 2021, the case remained legally "open" while Maxwell’s conviction was under appeal and while federal grand juries in Florida and New York continued to look into potential co-conspirators.
