Over a year since I jumped into the madness of #Satisfactory and finally the last video of my playthrough is up, and the playlist complete! Still have to dip back in to get some achievements though...

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event

Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Olivia Just Wants Tech To Be Fun Again

The funniest part of this to me is that the author of this article seems to forget poor "knowledge workers" exist, that many artists are in fact poor, and that perhaps understanding something is a tech scam is not limited to a small section of the middle class.

CHI
Al shaming is a social phenomenon in which negative judgements are associated with the use of Artificial Intelligence (Al). This includes comparing someone's work with Al-generated work as a means of disparagement, voicing suspicion or alleging that someone has used Al to undermine their reputation, or blaming the poor quality of an artefact on Al use.
Common justifications of Al shaming include recourse to Al's societal harms, its technical limitations, and lack of creativity. I argue that, more fundamentally than any of these, Al shaming arises from a class anxiety induced in middle class knowledge workers, and is a form of boundary work to maintain class solidarity and limit mobility into knowledge work. I discuss the role of Al shaming in protecting the privileged class of knowledge work and its attendant harms.

'There is no ethical way to use the major Al image generators.
All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real, human artists.

This. And we're already seeing this. In publishing, anthologies are calling it quits as they're being inundated with mostly AI slop, and they don't have the time or staffing to deal with it.

The problem isn't that generativeAI will get so good it will replace artists. It can't and never will.

The problem is that uncreative and incurious people will flood every venue with so much regurgitated slop that no artist has a chance of ever being seen or found.
