my most butlerian jihad coded belief is that we should probably make it illegal – and more importantly, we should work toward a cultural consensus that it is immoral – to design a computer program whose interface uses the first person

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation.
If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc.
We got 3 days to stop this. Call now!

To be clear, the quotes pulled here are synonymous with "add work to existing employees' plate instead of adding capacity and accept a loss in quality".
Chilling piece on employment effects of AI on early careers. Includes this line, which will probably become the norm for many firms: "Managers at Shopify must now justify hiring a human by first explaining why AI can’t do the job."

‘There’s Just No Reason to Deal With Young Employees’
AI is taking entry-level jobs. What happens when Gen-Z-ers can’t start their careers?

INTO THE UNBEING is two-volume journey through an eldritch whalefall. For fans of Alien, Annihilation, and Scavenger's Reign.
4 climate scientists on the Australian outback discover a sprawling alien corpse. They go inside to explore & are immediately trapped.

"This Life" by Martin Hagglund changed me. It came to me via a friend right when I needed it and its excavation of finite life's value and the reasons why collective liberation is essential to make good on our humanity gave me a positive vision of life after I left religion and fundamentalism.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I'm tired. Life kept getting in the way today and I didn't wanna write. But I made myself sit down for 15 minutes before my bedtime routine and I wrote 340 words that are not great, I do not feel proud of them, but I did write them lol

Was up later than usual editing this essay with the windows open and heard someone nearby loudly achieve climax not once but twice. A good omen! If you read my piece, a small bit of that ecstasy can live in you. Pretty sure that's how that works.

Or put slightly differently: grokipedia is an epistemic weapon.
The point of grokipedia is to produce vast volumes of apparently high-quality open-licensed tokens to be scooped up by LLM trainers, not to be read by humans, right?
