Shout out to all my fellow arts and humanities graduates in the UK with our rip off degrees- many of us may not be the biggest earners but I would argue have generally been considerably better contributors to society than vast majority of the Tory party.

This Anthropic settlement case…fellow authors, are any of you feeling rage? I have 12 books listed and money (I don’t CARE how many thousands, even millions) is NOT adequate compensation. What was stolen & used without my permission is priceless! Where is the option to scrub my work from AI?!

Definitely giving Don’t Dead vibes…
Iconic hospital doors from The Walking Dead series, where someone has spray-painted a phrase that seems to read ‘Don’t Dead Open Inside’

The Penguin Mersey Sound anthology thrilled me when I discovered it as a teenager. It showed me what poetry could be and was allowed to be.

“No class of beings have in any time past made so rapid a movement forward. Should not that movement be jealously watched, and checked while we can still check it? And is it not necessary for this end to destroy the more advanced of the machines which are in use at present…”

this exists it is called thinking
Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

‘the feedback is then carefully reviewed, adapted and personalised’ by the marker, so what is the benefit of adding in all the extra steps to get ChatGPT to spit out a vacuous and generic comment which then has to be rewritten for each student?

I haven’t visited an actual website for months. I’m tired of being kettled into an increasingly smaller collection of platforms and AI slop search results. Can you build your own search engine that just finds web pages on topics you’re looking for? I miss the original AltaVista.
