Gen AI is being used to create CSAM. Gen AI has also been linked to suicides of several kids.
As a parent, my reasonable take is that I don't care if the hype is true or not until Gen AI companies stop stealing and are regulated.
(also, i don't think the hype is true)

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

I guarantee if all of you parents out there arrive to the dinner table tonight talking about how you jestermaxxed frame at the office today before bonesmashing your aura, it’ll be over in a week.
if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

This morning, I got distracted while eating cheese because I remembered that the laughing cow is named Elsie and is married to Elmer the cow on the glue labels. To doublecheck that I hadn’t hallucinated that, I looked it up and fell down a dark internet rabbit hole.
