if you wanted to spread hatred and avoidance of fiction writing, you could scarcely do better than encouraging people to socially engineer themselves into deadline panic right at the beginning of the holiday season

as someone who enjoys distinctive authorial voices and has tried in a small way to cultivate one, I find this an incitement to violence
Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.
As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

By definition, AI algorithmic engines repackage an aggregated, mathematically averaged version of what has already been thought & said. This means they are best seen as ideology machines: mechanisms built to recirculate the common sense of a social formation back to itself as though it is knowledge
📸 New research just out revealing disturbing problems with AI image captioning. AI models can now analyse both texts and images, and are trained on vast collections of human-created content spanning centuries. Some claims these models could soon help human historians interpret and explain the past.

Gente, é o maior massacre no Brasil desde o Araguaia. Entendo quem quer puxar pra Canudos ou Contestado ou etc, mas não podemos livrar a ditadura de 64 só porque ela escondia melhor seus corpos.
Morreram 41 guerrilheiros comunistas e mais de 1200 camponeses no Araguaia.
