Every building out there only needs so much heat in a day. Every industrial process only needs so much energy to go. Every human only needs so much energy to live.

The only reason you might be thinking this way is because of our fun new aberration where computing is getting less efficient somehow

Absolutely devastated no one drafted Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within! (Jk)

This was so fun, I loved how the draft ended up, and I love that Atlantis was the first pick. That movie rocks.

I think Allison ended with my overall favorite list but everyone has some bangers!

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

This was a lot of fun!

I love a draft podcast, and it really is wild to see what DOESN’T make the list given how much DOES make the list of FIFTY FILMS.

I’m definitely not devastated by several omissions or anything 😆

Tech companies are not seriously trying to build sustainable platforms or businesses. We are not the market anymore. Their market is investors and their sole business goal is duping as many gullible investors as they can this quarter.
my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Which would be relevant today, given tech bros are the obvious modern-day stand-in for Frankenstein; given their total inability to grasp what makes life worth living; and given their monomaniacal attempt to solve only the non-problem problem "rich people still rely on other people for their wealth"

The Internet is one of the most destructive things humanity has ever created, not because it destroys bodies or physical material but rather it the destroys the social fabric that binds society and civilization together and that’s a first of its kind sort of thing.
Anyway, here’s a fun thought: things 09A show that “communities” based around pure nihilism can form online, this combined with LLMs and chatbot psychosis, mean you could create scalable turnkey antisocial behavior inculcators as a service. I’m certain nation-states are already thinking about this.
I think the mechanism is pretty clear imo: it's trained to be agreeable, and so when someone with mental illness starts inputting their delusions it defaults to affirmation. what's more interesting is why this isn't happening with the other chatbots. just not as much market penetration?

Super short notice but is there anyone who’d be interested in hopping on for a podcast recording at 8 p.m. EST tonight (Jan. 4) to talk a little about the 2001 movie VALENTINE, slashers and love?

Nbd, just trying to find a third chair if possible.

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

This incidentally is the same reaction I have whenever there's another story about how the left refuses to be friends with conservatives over politics.

Apparently conservatives want to be friends. It's a shocker.

You'd think if it were true, they'd be more friendly.
All of these aspects of the claim are interesting.

But "apologize" ... "apologize" is *extraordinary.*

It suggests that white conservatives have apparently been apologizing.

This blows me away, because I honestly don't remember American conservatives apologizing very much, if ever.
