Or maybe we should provide a universal basic income for ALL humans, no exceptions, no means tests (just take it back from the billionaires at income tax time).
Humans shouldn't need to work to live.
We are not work machines!

Even if you were willing to buy that an LLM/Gen AI tool has human-like intellect, you’re still left with the fact that an LLM doesn’t NEED a job to remain alive under capitalism, but a human does.
morality-wise, surely many would agree that humans should thus be given priority for jobs due to need

There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same. I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest?

I spent several years working on a screenplay about the last week of Ted Bundy's life in which Dobson featured prominently, requiring mounds of research.
Imagine writing a scene between someone and Ted Bundy knowing that Bundy wasn't the worst person in that room.

James Dobson, the homophobic leader of Focus on the Family, dead at 89
Dobson was notoriously anti-LGBTQ+ and helped catalyze the religious right movement.

Based on an attempt to steal money from my current account either Edison or AT&T have had their digital records compromised. Keep an eye out if you use or have used either.

I think Altman assumes that “PhD-level expert” means someone who speaks confidently on everything as opposed to saying “it’s nuanced,” losing their keys, and getting maniacally fixated on their current topic to the point of seeing it in everything.
“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

I’ve drafted an anti-censorship letter that ultimately I’d like other BAFTA members to sign.
I’d love feedback but I want to keep the document private until it’s ready. If you’re on the BAFTA Discord, DM me there. If not, DM me here, ideally with some kind of proof of your membership.

There's a discussion happening among BAFTA Games members about taking action on the censorship of adult/nsfw games. BAFTA is a particularly good group to consider this given the long and sordid history of TV and movie censorship.
It also makes us confront why games are treated differently... 🧵
