Somebody forgot that you can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape

That’s an instant block and I’ll never think about them again.

Onedrive settings. A toggle for using AI to detect and identify faces is set to on. The caption says, you can only turn off this setting 3 times per year.

Or ECHELON. Or the AT&T fiber tap rooms in every major telco datacenter.

Maybe we should start practicing not having GPS enabled devices on us at all times.

That’s not remotely feasible but we have to do something.

That’s a real sentence that I wrote.

They are so proud to tell on themselves.

He remembers nothing. Like last week when he liked an AI generated video of himself. He assumed that was something he probably said but has zero recollection.

Israel bombed construction equipment in Lebanon to make it harder for any sort of rebuilding to happen.

I hope this text finds you well.

Circling back to our meeting at the bar last Saturday…

We should improve society somewhat.

Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent.

I’m not mad at you.

I want people to be honest with themselves. There won’t be any regulation. That’s not what this regime does.

So if that’s the case, then it’s our obligation to stop using it and to call it out when someone does.

The idea that “I’ll keep using it until it’s regulated” is weird

It’s not fine. Let’s just spend a literal trillion dollars and drain all of our fresh water lakes to make cutesy images or fake videos or lame pickup lines.

Handwaving this away is gross.

I’m doing my best to call it out at every opportunity.

I’m in state IT and it’s extremely frustrating seeing the rapid, and rabid, adoption of AI when at the same time sensible ideas are nitpicked to death.

But they clearly haven’t considered the mental toll. They are used to getting anything they want at any time. And that’s all going to stop overnight? They either go further insane or they give up immediately.

Yes, they expect their staff to continue working.

I toured one of these while it under construction. It was like 5000 sq ft and nicer than most houses I’ve been in. They expect to stay down there for years. With no windows or outside contact.

I do appreciate the irony of how difficult it is to clean up a spill of liquid soap.

I would be happy with a maximum of 60 emails a month.

Matt Gorecki @goreckis.co · 23h

That’s a new word for me.

Also what an incredibly naive position.

Matt Gorecki @goreckis.co · 23h

Dumb. Read the fucking room.

Jeb!
