Could A24 make a movie about the New Yorker fact checking department please?
Jay McInerney is probably the most famous former New Yorker fact checker. He will admit he was not a great one; he got fired when his claim that he could speak French was disproved by a litany of errors he let through in a piece reported from France.
The History of The New Yorker’s Vaunted Fact-Checking Department
Reporters engage in charm and betrayal; checkers are in the harm-reduction business.

OpenAI's guardrails for image-generation based off copyrighted IP is not consistent for different properties.

The big mouse is well protected, but when asked to generate Sailor Moon, it does without issue.

I think about the unbelievable drip showcased in this pic of the MIT wearable computing group in the 90s, no joke like once a month

If you are interested in a lovely platform where you can keep ideas, images, etc. in a block-like format where there are no ads, I have been using @are.na for years and I enjoy it. Even better bonus, they are independent!

The interface is so clean and lacking distractions.

What was interesting about algorithms?

The challenge of doing X with as few resources as possible (memory, power, etc).

What are OpenAI + friends doing? The opposite.

"Lets assume we have unlimited resources & try to build a god."

No wonder they're losing their shit with the DeepSeek thing.

Can’t recommend watching this talk Timnit Gebru gave in 2023 enough! In her presentation, based on work by her and Émile P. Torres, Gebru outlines how contemporary movements like Transhumanism, Effective Altruism, and Singularitarianism emerged out of 2nd-wave US Eugenics movements.
Joy-Ann, I’d like to encourage you to look into the eugenic origins of the race to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). It’s hard to explain in short form. Dr Gebru @timnitgebru.bsky.social and Dr Torres @xriskology.bsky.social have done scholarly research on this. youtu.be/P7XT4TWLzJw?...

Because the term AGI is so vague and overhyped, I picked up "Artificial General Intelligence" (2024) by Julian Togelius @togelius.bsky.social ), professor of AI and gaming at NYU, to learn more. It digs into the history of the concept of AGI, and explores the question "what is intelligence anyways?"

When I hear folks like Altman talk about AGI, theyre often vague about whatAGI means, but say that they are working towards an omniscient, all-knowing entity (u mean a god? lmfao) All I can picture is that Futurama episode where Bender overclocks himself and becomes an all-knowing supercomputer/god

AI Snake Oil by randomwalker.bsky.social and sayash.bsky.social was a breath of fresh air! Narayanan and Kapoor lay out how misinformation, lack of understanding, and hype around what AI is and the genuine capabilities of products have led to harm perpetuated by companies peddling AI snake oil.
