This comes from quite a mad project of personal oral history interviews with all the people who were chosen by lottery to be part of Antony Gormley's spend-an-hour-on-the-fourth-plinth thing.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

A long shot, but does anyone out there have a copy of this Doris Troy album, and if so would you be willing to rip me some audio of 'My Father's House'?

I would be eternally grateful 🙏

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted:

AI always calling your ideas “fantastic” can feel inauthentic, but what are sycophancy’s deeper harms? We find that in the common use case of seeking AI advice on interpersonal situations—specifically conflicts—sycophancy makes people feel more right & less willing to apologize.

The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point
Jess Gill @jessgillO3 I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to. British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones. Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism. 15:31·17 Oct 25-78K Views

Generative AI is literally destroying knowledge
emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social Emanuel Maiberg @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social · Oct 17
wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
