In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

Most notable about this (horrifying) article is confirmation that Replika, the big "AI girlfriend/boyfriend" app, was directly inspired by a Black Mirror episode.

"You've been running a stealth rifle build since Fallout 1," they told me. "Just try power armor and heavy guns once, you won't get addicted, all the girlies love power armor and heavy guns." Well, this is me now, thanks a lot

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

I haven't even been able to block. Every single time, for the past two weeks, that I try to block a right wing account I get a vague "can't complete this action, try later" message. And then more show up on my feed.

I try not to say "I can't believe people are still on X" thing because people have different reasons for things that I don't know but "by using this application you may completely incidentally encounter CSAM in a way that you are technically criminally liable for" feels like a big Moment to Consider

I am overcome with want for this, but I'm not sure if it's because I love the property or because I just love the idea of being the kind of eccentric writer who lives in a lighthouse

Today of all days is one in which I urge everyone to be on alert for misinformation, AI-generated nonsense, and just as importantly fluent and convincing rage-bait. The skills of critical ignoring -- lateral reading, being judicious about how much / where we consume information -- matter now.

It's not, to my knowledge (at least rare enough that years ago, when a mystery writer tried getting a product placement deal, a company went for it as a one-time novelty and that was notable enough to make news; IIRC they didn't even pay him cash, just a few bottles of the booze he name-dropped.)
