Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.

Underdiscussed point: how much responsibility Substack bears for Bari Weiss being in the position she is now in.
Fuck substack
Fuck substack
the quality of work that bari weiss produced at THE FREE PRESS was dogshit-tier bad (even by the standards of right wing slop) but it was a financial success anyway because Substack's right wing owners and other oligarch benefactors heavily promoted it.

Okay, this isn't really Christmas Eve talk, but:

2. Was startled to see how many of my mutuals consider Aaron Parnas a legitimate reporter.
He's an influencer/aggregator, who has built his entire career aggregating the news.

Three months ago, my dear friend Hani was murdered while trying to feed his family.
His sister Faten has cancer, and sleeps in a freezing tent with her hands, feet, and eyes swelling more and more every day.
I love this family with all my heart. I can’t keep watching them die.

Generative AI is a poison that kills everything it touches all so people who are already rich get to be richer while you have to be poorer
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

When I say Israel is ALSO doing genocide in the West Bank, just slower, this is the type of horror I mean.
Israeli settlers and soldiers kidnapped an 18-year-old boy in the West Bank and brutally beat him for hours. In November alone, violent settlers attacked Palestinians more than 2,000 times.
