This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"
HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW: “.. In our in-progress research, we discovered that AI tools didn’t reduce work, they consistently intensified it.”

When people claimed that AI is the new electricity, I thought of all of the quack uses for electricity in the early years, especially "cures." Same with radioactivity. Early users of electricity also burned a lot of buildings down until we learned where and when and how to make it useful AND safe.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Just something to think about the next time you use Chap GPT.
The United Nations have warned that in less than 2 years we are heading to a fresh water crisis which will likely result in water rationing. AI use is accelerating this. The makers of AI won’t stop cos they’ll be last to be hit by the water crisis. They’ll watch as we fight for vital resources.

Man, just... Ghost and Iron Lung in the same week? What more could you ask for!
(Also apparently the 9th anniversary of my favorite Mechanisms album, The Bifrost Incident, fell on the same day as the CT ritual!)

In light of being tired from driving back from CT i'm putting off seeing Iron Lung to tomorrow
Oh man was last night worth it though. I'm glad I went. And, really, until the day comes once more... i'm gonna miss them.

It's long past time to get off TikTok. Don't feed the monsters.
TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.
They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.
