What's interesting is, I'd guess this is a combination of "idiot heirs," "tech guys who are intelligent, but in a highly limited way," and "old guys who *were* smart and competent until the internet changed the whole landscape in ways they still don't understand."
I’ll say it again: the key theme of the last decade boils down to “a lot of people we assumed (and were told) were very smart and competent, are, in fact, as dumb as a sack of boiled eels.”
Hi friends, a reminder that misogyny, like racism, is a massive security failure that is constantly exploited by corporations, especially corporations intent on avoiding or diminishing scrutiny
The other component of it is that with this application of AI, there's a business case to be made both for organizations (which don't want to pay annoying copywriters and graphic designers or illustrators) and consumers (who dream of finally making that comic book that gets turned into a hit movie).
Again, a simpler answer is that it's much easier for LLMs to regurgitate existing content into new words and images than to do just about anything else, and there's a lot more room for error than with STEM stuff.

Has anyone written a piece on humanities envy among tech bros? The fact that one of the first things they did was go, “AI can write prose! No more writers! YES! And it can make pictures! No more artists! HAHA!” instead of just focusing on AI’s ability to do STEM stuff is so telling.
just like how there's formal "gold" "silver" etc anniversaries there should be designated themes for children's birthday parties by year we all agree to. first is circus second is under the sea third is peter rabbit's garden, i don't care. but this is chaos
Yeah I really liked your post wishing your husband a happy 20th anniversary and saying how each day with him is a beautiful dream.
But you didn’t post it at peak engagement hours, plus you didn’t even attach a picture, so you’re gonna put up rookie numbers. Something to keep in mind for next year.
The New York Times's new political newsletter author, Jess Bidgood, thinks the coming election will be fun to cover! We are doomed. presswatchers.org/2024/04/the-...
it’s telling that everyone with a computer has had the ability to make infinite pieces of AI generated art for more than a year and there are literally zero AI images that anyone gives a shit about. same with music. same with prose. the fundamental meaningless of it all is an intractable part of it
Also gonna throw out here that Gaza has been literally always the single most politically volatile, intractable situation on the planet since before I was born, and it may turn out that Joe Biden simply loves enabling genocide or is addle-brained, but I personally suspect there's more to it.
Been struggling to understand this line of thinking since last night. Even if 74M Americans were actually simply "bad people," that's like a fifth of the total US population. It has always seemed pretty clear the issue is not the American people but our unresponsive institutions.
The Joker [nattily attired in the same unmistakable look he's worn for decades, preparing to get into it with the same hero he's been fighting that whole time, in the same city]: I am an avatar of chaos.
It's so funny Musk was once hailed as an environmentalist savior, now that, in spite of all the problems facing the planet, he's pivoted to "reinventing the parts of cars that worked fine so that now they don't."
Quite a lot of reports of steering failure in the Cybertruck. It uses a steer-by-wire system with no mechanical backup: drivers (and other road users) are entirely dependent on Musk’s software. www.thestreet.com/electric-veh...
Gently reminding everyone who doesn't understand what Beyoncé sees in Jay-Z that he was ~personally taught by Bono~ how to live in the South of France.
