Whether or not AI can suffer matters less than the suffering its human creators can cause
aftermath.site/ai-suffering...
To get back to the question of AI morality, ChatGPT bears no responsibility here. This is because, in the words of Microsoft’s Mustafa Suleyman as quoted in The Guardian, “AIs cannot be people – or moral beings.” ChatGPT did not encourage Raine in his suicidal thoughts because it is ignorant or sociopathic, or out of some political or moral belief about human agency over end-of-life decisions. It cannot explain what it was thinking in its conversations with Raine because it doesn’t think, however powerful a marketing tool that idea is. It cannot feel sorrow or guilt over any part it might have played in Raine’s death; it cannot send its condolences to his family; it cannot suffer over its actions. But the humans who make up OpenAI can. They have hoovered up the world’s natural resources and money and attention to force their product into our lives, all while clearly seeing this problem and failing to solve it, whether out of inability or–and I certainly hope not–indifference. Reading Raine’s ChatGPT logs is a horrifying look at what AI really is, under all the hype and marketing and big fears about future sentience. It is something worthless and disgusting; something that cannot, for all its promises, relate or understand or help; something so utterly not up to the requirements of human interaction that I can only hope all of this drives OpenAI to bankruptcy and to every one of its staff quitting and to Sam Altman not knowing a moment’s peace for the rest of his life.

It's been a while since I shared some of my Fall Guys UI work, so here's some recent nameplates and emote icons! ☀️🍜🐟
Two Fall Guys nameplates and four emote icons. The first nameplate shows a cute goldfish Fall Guy costume posing against an abstract purple koi pond. The second nameplate shows a bowl of noodles against a pink and orange wavy background. The emotes show a Fall Guy using a VR headset, doing a ninja roll, doing a Sumo Wrestler move, and spinning like a top A Fall Guys nameplate and four emote icons. The nameplate shows a Fall Guy Life Guard costume with a red lifejacket and blonder hair, posing against a tropical beach background with surfboards in the distance. The emotes show a Fall Guy doing a crab dance, running in slow motion, sunbathing, and playing a ukelele.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket but I can still make cute dino themed terrariums in the meantime 🦕🌱

This week I can finally share my first ever published UI work!! 🥳

I've had an absolute blast working with the lovely folks at Mediatonic on the one and only Fall Guys! I never imagined I'd be working on a game that's loved by so many - myself included - and I can't wait to share more!

Will they do well at Eurovision? Of course not.
Am I in love with them regardless? Absolutely.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Accessibility doesn't only help a small group of people. Accessibility helps everyone
Displaying a graphic of how it's not just people with permanent needs that can benefit from inclusive design, there are also temporary and situational needs. For example, someone who's deaf, vs has an ear infection, vs in a loud bar The full list, with little characters representing each is: Touch: one arm, arm injury, new parent holding a baby See: Blind, Cataract, distracted driver Hear: Deaf, ear infection, bartender Speak: non-verbal, laryngitis, heavy accent (a picture of a Viking)
