"Human in the loop" is a thought-terminating cliche
Without thoughtful guard rails, asking people to clean up after machines doesn't make machines better — it makes people worse.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.
It aired in 1990.

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.
"AI only offers suggestions based on your prompts. It's still your imagination."
No. Your imagination provides the germ of a story, expands it into sentences, phrases, paragraphs, chapters, culminating in a complete story. Using AI is "I have an idea," then someone else writes a story based on it.

It is no accident that the early use cases for "genAI" consumer products revolve around the sexual harassment, abuse, and exploitation of women in power. It is no accident that the technology is immediately embraced as a tool of patriarchy and gender-based violence.

We recognize that Britney Spears was pilloried in the public eye as a child star becoming a young woman, picked apart, laughed at, and we wanted a reckoning. Now I don't know much about Jojo Siwa but all the same my feed is full of people being pointedly cruel to her as though she deserves it.

AI is the ideal technology to accompany the decline of America.
It caters to the entitled, to those who have no desire to learn and think they know everything, it destroys creativity and critical thinking, and lays the cultural foundation for fascism.

Listen I liked Conclave too but this is a bit over the top
MAGA's brains are so broken. they speed ran the normal Pope conspiracies, and made the quantum leap to "the Pope is worse than woke, he's trans!" in less than 12 hours.

Well, a lot of the atheist skeptic crowd from the 2000s ended up as hardcore reactionaries. The dirtbag left is about to experience the same phenomenon. If you're wondering what they have in common, it's misogyny and antisemitism.
y'all I haven't been paying attention to vaush for a while but I just saw him arguing that women should all have mandatory 4 year conscription to the breeder mines and like, I want to know at what point he stopped pretending to be a feminist because holy SHIT

I'm supposed to give a shit about "male loneliness crises" and "threatened masculinity" and "feminism gone too far" when the actual plot of that Margaret Atwood book is actually being mainstreamed in a full-blown Western natalist across the fucking political spectrum.
"The declining birthrate is a serious issue which we must address. It is a civic duty to have children. It might sound scary, but we should consider making this kind of thing like a tour of duty" isn't subtle, and while it sounds almost like a joke, Vaush takes pains to clarify he's serious.

Has there ever been a more succinct five seconds in all of ABSOLUTE CINEMA. A more efficient usage of celluloid. Has anything respected the audience's time more than this. This conveys everything anyone needs to know about these people. Who they are. What they do. How they rank on power level scale.

I still can't find any use for them that another tool can't do better. I don't doubt they are a useful tool in academia or specialized fields. However:
1. That is not how they are being deployed. The aim is not to help a human worker but functionally replace them in exchange for a worse service.

There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?

Invasive ad for an AI adjacent pyramid scheme: “I found a way to make five figures a month selling books and I didn’t have to write any of them!”
That’s the grift promise isn’t it? Because if you actually write anything, it’s borderline impossible to earn five figures *a year*.

We built systems that allowed this to happen, because we were happy when they didn't hurt us directly. We built a country on a foundation of certain people deserving good things and others deserving bad based on how monetarily useful they are.
Trump is where it leads. This is EXACTLY who we are.

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

I keep saying this: if you grew up under an abuser, you know exactly what this is and that no appeasement is possible.
Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts.
There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.
