There's studies suggesting that AI usage is causing cognitive decline, even when it's not causing psychosis and encouraging its users to harm themselves and others, just regular old usage is damaging. Far from a "cognitive amplifier" like this slop peddler suggests, it's a cognitive atrophier.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

When I first figured out that US movies use ‘character rides a bus’ scenes as a trope to indicate they’re poor, I was blown away.
Turns out the US is just so behind on building infrastructure that they cannot even imagine things like an actual physical busstop with a bench & timetable.

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

Grok Can't Apologize. Grok Isn't Sentient. So Why Do Headlines Keep Saying It Did?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been “undressing” women and children in public. Journalists are letting xAI off the hook by pretending the bot is responsible.

I still maintain the single worst change Elon made in terms of pure user experience was updating replies to favor the people willing to pay for the blue checks
instantly - overnight - reply sections changed from a font of creative riffing to a barren wasteland of the worst posts imaginable

I left twitter a year ago and I wish I could say it was for moral reasons but it was mostly because it just stopped working and it felt like there were more real people here despite the smaller user base

I don't think my suggestion of "Strap every AI CEO into a big centrifuge, spin it up, then toss in a brick" is an unreasonable one.
This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!

So very tired, but I couldn't let 2025 end without taking stock of Microsoft's embarrassing treatment of gaming, Windows, and indeed human beings while it chases the AI money train
Microsoft's year of shame
Can't make a few trillion dollars without ditching game developers, going googoo gaga for AI and supplying tech to the military, I suppose!

And the reason why Birdbrain is so good and why most AI-generated voicework is terrible is THERE IS A HUMAN AT THE WHEEL.
It may be a synth voice but there is someone directing every inch of the sound. Not by prompting, but by painstakingly making sure every note FRACTIONALLY off-key is deliberate.
