Statler: I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.

Waldorf: I'm crying at how bad this show is!

Both: OH HO HO HO HO HO HO!
Most of Gandalf's lines also work if spoken in the voice of Statler or Waldorf.

There is value in everyday practical knowledge, just as there is value in analysis and deeper thinking.

The idea that the two are mutually exclusive has no value.
This is what's replacing the literature and academic sections on the TOEFL exams in January.

How to read emails and social media posts.

And people wonder why I am so ardently against AI-generated content...
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

2. They are disastrously bad for the environment, both in a global warming sense and in the materials needed to keep these data centers running (ie water)

3. Using these validates the cost of the first two and will inherently cause people to lose their livelihoods to make a worse product

There's so many discussions around E33 and Larian about when it is and is not okay to use LLMs, and most arguments miss the fundamentals points why they are inherently bad.

1. They are trained on databases of material that were not paid for, art and work that is not compensated

As much as I'd love to gloat over the stupidly blatant redactions of the Epstein case files released, I suspect there's a bigger problem brewing.
Take a look at the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). This inflation report EXCLUDES nearly EVERY category of items and services except for gas and car prices.

In other words: the books have been COOKED by the Bureau of Labor Statistics😠

Hi. It’s December. I know money is tight. I know it’s the holidays.

I’m so fucking exhausted and tired of existing to subsist.

If you can give, anything helps and I do mean anything.

Spreading word helps too. 💖💚

Seems I stumbled onto another YouTube AI screwup.

To explain, I sometimes watch MLB clips on YouTube. I know not everyone will be familiar with baseball, but all you need to know for this is that quite a few MLB players come from Spanish-speaking countries and thus have names that indicate such.

Just looked at the new Yearn romantasy book platform/store, and wondering how they expect to launch a startup into a market that is already struggling to make sales.

Don't get me wrong: we do need more alternatives to the likes of Amazon. I'm just not sure how far this can go given...everything.

I realized a few years ago that I will never run out of ideas; I will simply run out of time and die. What I don't have is money. I'm disabled, queer, lower income single parent with dozens of unpublished manuscripts, songs, musicals, paintings, hundreds of draft ideas. FUND PEOPLE.
This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.

Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?
