Mate, I'll do 'em for free!

The same Venn diagram from my original post (with 3 overlapping circles saying, "UX Researchers", "Backstreet Boys", and "5-year-olds", with text in the center saying, "Tell me why") with 3 additional labels added to the 3 intermediary overlapping areas:
- UX Researchers + BSB: "Show me the meaning"
- UX Researchers + 5-year-olds: "Test everything"
- BSB + 5-year-olds: "I want it that way"

Oh god, that reminded me of one of my favourite memes

I, too, love when my tomatoes tell me jokes

Ash is incredible. So incredible, in fact, that after we'd worked together I decided I wanted to keep her and now she's stuck with me for life. Any studio would be lucky to have her. In fact, dear reader, that could be you, but you playin'.

Thanks, mate. I will eventually. Just trying to find my desire to assemble my brain cells back together again first. Right now I am still just... mud.

If you let your kids play with AI Chatbots you're a bad parent. I don't throw that language around loosely, you are. a. bad. parent.

Julia Carrie Wong @joolia.bsky.social · 6d

I spoke to parents who are letting their young kids play with generative AI and tried to sort through some of the questions they have about it.

"I don’t know what this is doing to their brains," one dad told me.

Meanwhile, Sam Altman says, "Kids love ChatGPT on voicemode."

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

PSA for us stressheads:

The people who care the most about you won't *especially* admire your achievements...

They like you anyway.
