people should just post about what they want to instead of doing this thing every month where someone asks “is Bluesky for/against X?”, a question format that has conditioned the a large chunk of the website to jump into a screaming match, regardless of what the actual topic is

Opinion from Alphaville: OpenAI is a money pit with a website on top. That much we know already, but since OpenAI is a private company, there’s a lot of guesswork required when estimating the depth of the pit. on.ft.com/44xy39L

minimise context switching; also, these graves can be dug in parallel
When you seek revenge, dig two graves. That way you can take revenge on two guys at once and maximize your productivity.

Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be
The AI boom is based on a fundamental mistake.

answering yes to "could i use chatgpt for this" should just gate out to "don't bother doing it"
But inside, the document is just mush. It is not fit for purpose because it is just pretending to have done the work.
So it's a great opportunity for people to *signal* that they have done the work without actually needing to do it.
The amount of documents has exploded, but no new insights emerge.

This hits a lot of the notes I've been shouting from the rooftops: the frictionlessness of both producing and consuming slop, and the value of labor as friction that lets us slow down and think. Rather than "unlocking creativity" it's rendering our collective creativity down into a big vat of slop.
Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

Remarkable literacy failure in the angry response this extremely reasonable article is getting on here. People are reacting as if he’s excoriating Gen Z for not showing up but he’s actually excoriating the gerontocracy for not taking anything seriously. Please try reading.

The key point: "The absence of young people from conventional protests is both a problem and a warning."
