@simonwillison.net posts on here about AI all the time, but I don't know how much rage he gets in his replies. The anti-AI thing here always seemed a little over the top like it was bots or something

It actually sucks ass that I'm being given a tool that doesn't work while being expected to be 5x as productive by people who don't write software. When I tell them it sucks shit they don't want to believe me even though I have a masters degree in this field.
I think that may be the core division here: if you are an author or an artist the cons of generative AI very likely outweigh the pros for you
If you are a software developer the opposite is true

Something I find baffling about AI discourse is the notion that a viable artistic ecosystem only benefits artists

Valuable hell, AI isn’t even profitable.
Also I don't think we should pin the entire world economy on pretending this stuff is incredibly valuable

I love how the AI cult is so far up their own collective ass that they think acceptance is inevitable if they just keep demanding it while doing fuckall to earn it.
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.
One wonders what *would*.

here's my first test at annotating/blurring a video. It needs some work to be less flickery but it's a start.

Today I passed a billboard w/ an ai-ass nativity scene beneath a giant cosmic Jesus and big text asking "Do You Love The Man As Much As The Baby?" and I choked on the coke zero I was drinking while driving and I stifled a cough and the bubbles foamed up through my nasal passages. I felt so present.

The best thing about having a cat is when he’ll walk in the room carrying a slice of ham but you don’t have any ham in the house. Where’d you get the ham little guy?

I need people who are profiling RFK Jr to not recite, uncritically, the number of studies the man says he has read.
One he lies
Two even if he has read them doesn't mean he understands them
Three it's more useful to take one and explain its problems.

I’ll be shocked if anyone sees this post, but I’m bailing on all social media for the time being because all it seems to do anymore is exacerbate my already-severe depression by reminding me how worthless and alone I am.
