Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

Disney's new generation of robots have taught themselves how to walk flawlessly... and fall flawlessly
Disney can now have robot characters, and even Olaf from the Frozen movies, walk bipedally, around and over obstacles, around its theme parks.

Thinking "impressions" and "user reviews" are real is a true "dead internet" flag. Before 201X, journos understood the limits of these measures and their place in the web ecology. But then a new generation of rich kid dipshit started getting work in media and twitter impressions = nielsen captures.
This is innumerate nonsense. An average of 1.1 million people were watching The Simpsons throughout its entire thirty-minute broadcast according to a third-party data company contracted to measure viewership by Disney. Somebody, no way to know who, hit the play button 1.7 million times on Twitter

The Campbells brouhaha had me thinking. I've always been a fan of how the Tekken announcer says "chicken." The enunciation rests at an optimum short of declarative (Chicken!) but not quite interrogative (Chicken?), and thereby exists in perfect culinary tension.

Got one of these 5 years ago and feel strangely incrowd now.
A few years ago, a friend handed me a beautiful pocket screwdriver, with 24 tiny bits cradled inside its smoothly spinning frame. I could imagine a fashion model holding it in the pages of a magazine.
“Keep it,” my friend told me. It wasn’t pricey; he’d bought a whole bunch just to give away. 🧵

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now
