I have a lot of thoughts about the "I can generate 200 books a year you can only do 2 at most if you actually write the things, I win" bullshit, and no time to yell about all of it. So I'll just say this:

it's kinda crazy that "make products that people will buy so you can make money" has become borderline lost knowledge because of how insane executives have gotten

people complaining about not being able to understand the lyrics in another language is always so strange because I guarantee most of those people have never given any serious thought to the english lyrics of songs they listen to all the time
my opinion on the Bad Bunny halftime show, and non-English music in general, is that i think a need to “be able to understand the lyrics” displays an embarrassing shallowness of the speaker to appreciate the voice as an instrument & to appreciate music as something other than a lyric delivery system

Obviously this amount of money is nothing to Microsoft but it's astounding how much money they're having to throw at people to promote Copilot.
If it were as useful as they claim they'd never have to spend this much to promote it given how aggressively they're integrating it into Windows 11.

it's like our entire sense of morality has been filtered through the act of consumption, and the highest good we can imagine is feeling good and clean and pure as individuals, unpolluted by the obvious evil are around us

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

LLMs don't have morals. This is incredibly stupid.

I’m annoyed by the delay too but Valve has allowed for games with AI-generated content on its storefront, at some point we can’t just sit there & say “grrr AI tech bros bad I can’t get a Steam Machine yet” without noting that the call is coming from inside the house. Valve is enabling the problem

Oh, it's far worse than that. Society as a whole realized the harm - potential and direct - almost immediately.
It's just that the people that run the world decided, even as the corpses piled up, that they just didn't care and were going to bet the entire global economy on radium toothpaste.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Exactly why age verification doesn’t work. It needs to be junked. It doesn’t protect anyone.
