You are getting a live preview of this as streamers “reinvent” weekly drops of series that return in less than a year with seasons of 15+ episodes. Just straight up looking in the camera and marveling at this “hole in the market” that’s actually the shallow grave they shoveled TV into for 8 years.

The immediate threat has always been not that it would take jobs, but that some dipshit exec would spend a billion dollars integrating it into the business, drive everything off the cliff, and 5-8 years later the rest of us are left picking up the pieces.
The exec that said "we thought it was farther along then it was" is absolutely the greatest issue right now. Not only is it not capable of doing any of these things on a broad scale, it will do them significantly worse than any employee. Going all in on something to boost stock value that fails.

What if we educated people, encouraged them to spend some time off the Internet, and didn’t oversaturate them with constant distress?
What if we supported curiosity instead of information overload?
“Idea machine.” Good god, people.

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

My dreams last night largely consisted of running into Ke Huy Quan and telling him how much I loved his work.
For the record, dreamstate Ke Huy Quan was a pretty cool guy.

I am going to need someone to explain why I should give David Brook’ opinion more weight than some rando at the grocery store’s.
Seriously, how did anyone pick this guy to matter?

Watching the spiked 60 Minutes episode on YouTube, thanks to @phillewis.bsky.social. It's not like the Trump admin didn't have its say. At about 4:15 mark, there is footage of Trump saying CECOT was "great facilities, very strong facilities"

I hope someone has recorded this and posts it. CBS will send takedown notices but once it starts spreading they won’t be able to stop it
If you VPN into Canada you can watch the 60 Minutes CECOT story here (for now). Global TV appears to have posted the original tape by accident watch.globaltv.com/series/2893d...

I agree with *all* of this, and would add only this: While there are shortcuts for making a piece of writing, there are no shortcuts for making a writer.
So, since we have Yet More Discourse going on, I wanna toss out a thing because I keep seeing it come up.
Writing is not always fun, and that’s actually pretty normal.

Same. Frankly, I can’t imagine any situation where using an LLM to generate text would not make writing the book take ten times as long.

I really do not care if the guy who has raped kids is from my political party. My moral philosophy is that you don't rape kids, and there is nothing you can do that earns you a get-out-of-raping-kids-free card.

I don’t know why, but somehow the appearance of David Brooks in the Epstein files leaves me incandescently angry.
I’m not a big fan of Brooks’ work, but if that motherfucker ever publishes another word suggesting that liberals have deficient personal character, I have something to remind him of.
