Haha very funny... huh?

Journalists are jumping all over this guy but what evidence do we have that isn’t true. I’m not even saying it is true, but why would we take their word that it isn’t?
I assume journalists do this stuff all the time. Maybe more on the editorial side, but as a non-journalist, I don’t particularly care what part of the organization is tasked to do the consent-manufacturing. This assumption is based on my observations of journalism in the run up to the Iraq War.

This doesn’t even make sense, how could Nuzzi and Lizza have possibly acted alone on this stuff
you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

The year is 3025. The American empire has fallen. In its place a loose confederation of confections emerged. This is Donut world.

So I’m on emails at work for the first time in a while which means for the first time I’m getting emails clearly written by ChatGPT (or something like it). And! I do not hate it.

I seriously doubt they’re the only ones
Okay so what I’m reading here, if this account is to be believed, is that Lizza and Nuzzi are complicit in withholding major dark political actions that have had insane implications for like, everybody. Journalistic malpractice doesn’t even begin to cover it
While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed"

I think this is an underrated source of the extent to which Bluesky is in a false consensus about public AI hatred. If you are a power user on a microblogging site you are basically by definition not going to see the "take the effort out of reading and writing" machine as being useful
I think more than anything else AI feels like a miracle to people with questionable literacy because it can read and write for you, and a lot of us who are highly literate underestimate how many of our society's leaders, esp in business, struggle with literacy.
It's pretty much mandatory at work that I appear to be using it, so I've doe a few functional things with it, and it's a moderate time-saver if used right. But nowhere near worth it's stock value, energy cost.
Then I realize there's a lot of people who simply can't write coherent paragraphs.

this is written in the typical NYT This Is The Last Word On This Story manner to signal to the rest of the press that the story is Over and we're not allowed to complain about how they treated Biden anymore because they have checked their "do one story about this" box
Oh huh it’s wild that the man exercising the powers of the presidency just became old. If only he had been old a year and a half ago when being old was bad.
The @nytimes.com doing a big, long piece on Trump's obviously deteriorating condition.

I think it’s basically just cope. If animals feel a lot of the same things we do, the implications are pretty horrifying
as so often, the explanation is probably 'animals feel emotions that are similar to ours, and when we disregard the evidence to avoid 'anthromorphism' it's fundamentally ideological, not scientific'
this might be the saddest story I've ever written, about a seal that I will be thinking about for a long, long time.

I actually feel like this is actually more true about reading and writing
As someone in software the only benefit to LLMs I see is it will slowly destroy the pool of people with actual expertise in building and running software making me more valuable.

Jackie Chan is good at everything. Ridiculously talented person. Obviously he is famous for his stunts (due to his training in Chinese opera), he’s also a great actor, a fantastic singer, magnetic film presence, extremely funny, speaks a ton languages, genius at marketing himself. BUT, unfortunately
Idk, after seeing The Foreigner, I've come to realize that my longstanding dislike of Jackie Chan has actually been a dislike of most Jackie Chan vehicles. He's a hell of a dramatic actor

i truly do think that like 70% of cost of living discussions come down to the fact that a lot of people think "roughly 50% of Americans cannot afford the median American lifestyle" is an indictment of the economy instead of just like, math

One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

Unrelatedly, autocorrect often thinks I mean to say “hag”, a word that gets very little everyday use afaict
A lot of these people seem to understand a big problem with ChatGPT is it just tells the user what they want to hear, without connecting that thought with the hag that says about what their spouses are hearing
