I find AI quite useful, but this ⤵️ is really a needed corrective to both utopian and dystopian takes on it. The bitter, gritty taste it leaves in your mouth is not a sign that George is wrong and can be ignored.
the whole AI panic is a grim reminder that nobody actually understands what humans care about: control of other humans. We are willing to pay for stuff that is crafted by other humans because we are animals in a social hierarchy. markets formalize and abstract this but it's what drives them.

How Charlie Kaufman Goes Deep into the Human Condition in Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Other Movies
We all remember our early encounters with the work of Charlie Kaufman, though few of us knew at the time — or even know now — that it was the work of Charlie Kaufman.

The Witch, 1893 🐈‍⬛️

by John Maler Collier

The painting is largely known and circulated through historical records, graphic reproductions, and prints in various private collections and art databases.

However, its location remains a mystery to the public.

You can just feel that Anthropic listens more closely to philosophers than other labs, and has defined epistemic character in a way that places high value on "recognizing areas of ignorance."

An Asbestos-Bound, Fireproof Edition of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 (1953)
Even by the extreme standards of dystopian fiction, the premise of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 can seem a little absurd. Firemen whose job is to set fires? A society that bans all books?

Meow! It’s #NationalCatDay. Behold a black cat of a different kind: this melanistic serval (Leptailurus serval). Also known as the “giraffe cat,” servals have the longest legs in proportion to their body size of any feline.
