tl;dr on this one the loudest AI criticisms are the ones that serve existing power structures, and yet its most serious harms are the ones that don't.

Moreover, tools classified as "analytical" are frequently used for facial recognition that automate surveillance & discrimination, and tools considered "generative" like diffusion models are also used in medical imaging for anomaly detection and classification. There isn't a hard "one good, one bad"

Or, you frequently hear "well, analytical AI is good, but generative AI is bad", but there isn't really a hard difference between the two. They often share identical underlying architecture. Like, transformers power both BERT and GPT. Vision Transformers handle tumour detection and image generation.

Failing to anticipate people would use your image generation bot to make consentless-pornography should be criminal incompetence.
Failing to include safeguards against it should be criminal negligence.
Failing to shut it down once (a) and (b) became obvious should be criminal distribution.

"Big Guy" is an example of "Disposable Pop". At least, I would not be disgusted by "Squeeze Me Til' I Drop" by N.E.R.D.

The US has surpassed 2,000 measles cases for the first time in thirty years.
Every one of those cases is a preventable tragedy.
Each one represents a child who could die or become disabled because their parents refused to protect them.
Shame on RFK Jr and every grifter encouraging this.

eg if you need keyboard support, boox. or if marking up pdfs is a major goal. the supernote is a perfectly designed device for serious note-taking and a passable kindle reader but not a real multi-tasker, however it is better at notes than anything else

I’ve had 3 people wish me a “more social 2026”.
All of them were wildly ill.
One was hospitalized with pneumonia.
That’s the cost of their “socialization” because they refuse to take the most basic precautions.
They make the world less safe for people like me & then judge me for staying home
