Astonished at the number of creative intelligent discerning people who casually use “I asked Chat GPT” when talking about their daily lives.
AI is bad, the work of bad people, who hate you, normalised with bad intent.
You wouldn’t say “I wrote to the Daily Mail”
I wish people had more shame.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

used to be like "ha ha how could people fall for snake oil" and now it's like "oh everyone falls for every kind of snake oil possible all the time including billionaires and politicians, just guzzling up snake oil at a horrifically alarming rate and vomiting out onto the rest of us" 🫠🙃

A couple of years ago I animated this very short musical film for the pornographic film festival circuit (which is a real thing, there are loads of them) and now I can finally make it public.
Contains no actual sex or nudity (yay/boo, depending on your tastes)

I've been depressed about the general state of the world for as long as I can remember, but the mass adoption of LLMs and generative AI has truly destroyed what little hope I had left

Asked my sister what her kids want for Christmas and they both want media created by transphobes.
So they will be getting coal. I don't make the rules.

the professionalism and dignity of the United States military
The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Must feel great to be this optimistic
The world is eventually going to hold Trump and his regime accountable for war crimes. So, we have that to hold onto.

I'm torn on Generative AI for art creation. There are talented, imaginative people making genuinely impressive videos that would be impossible to make using traditional tools.
Unfortunately, those people are scum.

Delighted to read that James Delingpole hates Pluribus (and by the way now thinks Breaking Bad was overrated, not that he's a performative contrarían wanker or anything)

my most woke belief is that most of the world's suffering stems from systems of inequity enforced with violence at the sadistic behest of an incurious & frightened elite; liberal democratic governments believe their responsibility is to provide them with labourers, and we can change it all today.
