I saw a thread on here a while back explaining how pre-teens have started saying “That’s AI” when they don’t believe something, and I was stunned how many replies were celebrating this. “Hell yeah, the kids are discerning,” etc.
No! No that’s not what that means.

sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

Oh no I just saw a picture of the art supply suitcase go by so it must be time for my yearly psa: don't buy that.
I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989.
"But I don't know what to get my artist friends/talented cousins for the holidays!"
I will help.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Dreamt last night that I found a nappy baked inside a loaf of bread. The boss of the bread company decided to mitigate this bad PR by eating a nappy live on tv, to show that eating nappies is fine, and bread is made of old nappies now so we all have to just get used to it.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

The content is still obviously delusional to anyone reading it. It’s just organised crazy. But the real danger is the internal effect on the user. The AI provides coherence and validation, stabilising the narrative they’re caught in.

It’s kinda wild that for two years in a row Coca-Cola has spent millions to air a superbowl commercial in which consumers aren’t the intended audience and Coke isn’t what’s being advertised.

This is unbelievable. Jesus wept. Massive catastrophe is the making.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Honestly the best way to sell people on those dumb always-listening devices would be “argument resolution” but tech is even bad at marketing now. An ad campaign where an “I never said-“ is shut down by your sassy digital buddy would have TalkBoy or Got Milk level influence. Or am I not seeing those?

You’re supposed to put books you’ve read back on the shelf. People get weird when you don’t. But here’s the thing: if I like it I’ll want to see it. To be reminded of it, to recommend it, to see it in a new light. It’s a living conversation, not a checkmark on a list.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Transcendently good. I’m in awe, and I don’t even know where to start first. Just… hypnotically well done. Definitely a theater watch, this is one of those you want to get lost in.
