As we discussed the world
I warily told her:
everything is getting worse,
everything is getting so much worse.
Though I added:
but maybe that’s just me.
To which she replied:
it isn’t just you.
And then we both sat in silence,
but we sat in silence together.
this toot says "But now is the time to build an awareness that AI holds great potential to be a bullshit propaganda engine for the powerful."
giving another wonderful reason to not trust the chatbots:
Written rather boldly in the "subtext" of the bigoted blather that Groc is vomiting on Twitter is this:
AI can be configured to reflect whatever maladjusted evil that its corporate masters and its CEO owners want it to.
It won't always be as blatantly in your face as Groc and its deranged tech bro owner. Others will pull the puppet strings of AI in more subtle ways.
But now is the time to build an awareness that AI holds great potential to be a bullshit propaganda engine for the powerful.
Someone's kindness made me cry today.
My son's been attending a kids sewing class at a local fabric store.
The owner saw how much he loves it, and had offered to sell us a machine at a discount for him to use at home, but it was still out of reach for us financially. I told her we'd save up for it for Christmas.
Today she gave us that sewing machine free. She said she wanted him to be able to continue to sew at home.
Enabling his passion is such a priceless gift and I'm incredibly thankful.
