I think the hardest part about visiting my spouse’s family is that no one actually talks to each other - there is never a conversation or a debate. Or expressing any interest in others directly. It’s a weird dynamic. Just talking about other people instead of to the people in the room.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Had slew of 5th grade Swiftiea at my house to celebrate the End of an Era.
My heart is so full from listening to their conversations. (Aside from 677 677 sung to the tune of Carol of the Bells)

This is such an issue, one I got conned by recently (the "animal shelter lets dogs choose" video) and I'm not sure how useful their guidelines are for identifying the fakes.
Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

One big effect of AI hype and promotion of unreliable chatbots is that a significant amount of additional friction and labour is being injected into our knowledge-making and -maintaining systems. At a time when these systems are already contracting and being starved by growing austerity.
Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from.
We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.
