Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands
And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

To bear out this rosy projection, HSBC assumes that OpenAI will become "as ubiquitous [...] as Microsoft 365" (345mm users worldwide) while bringing in 10x the number of users (3bn).

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

There is no such thing as unskilled labor.
As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

If Senator Mark Kelly does not win the Democratic Nomination for President he should be the Senate Minority/Majority Leader. He is what a leader looks, talks and acts like….

Think of all the games that have memorable moments with minor NPCs all because some writer went "fuck it, let's take a swing" on what could have been generic, bland filler dialogue no one would blink an eye at

"Oh its only unimportant stuff" if its unimportant why do you have it in your game? If its important enough to include it is important enough to have a human write it.
"But I hate writing dialogue" cool, hire a writer. There's SO many of us looking for gigs like "write a bunch of NPC chatter"

Obviously I don't write for games (yet?? I guess??) but dialogue is absolutely the most fun part of writing and the fact that people are going "oh yeah I just streamline it no one cares about that stuff"
You have no soul, you have no spark, and you have no understanding of human enjoyment

Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

I keep forgetting that I want a machine to pollute my air and water while stealing from artists in order to mainstream lies and I'm so grateful the AI defenders are here to remind me!
Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

i came across the saying "to follow like a Tantony pig" so I get curious and look it up, but Tantony isnt a place, it's a contraction of St Anthony who is the saint of swineherds, so the proverb means to follow someone like a pig following the hog messiah. alas this information will not pay my bills
