The deeply sad thing about AI chucklenuts openly masturbating about how great it is not to need other people for anything is that the slow process of creative collaboration fucking RULES.
What sucks is when commercial concerns force you to rush and optimize and cut corners off that process.
This story is not just about ChatGPT killing yet another person. It is a confluence of poor medical follow-up, isolation, and the complete lack of a support system for chronically ill people in this country. She should have had someone else to talk to other than a busy doctor and a chatbot.
Gut punch of a story about an Amazon engineer who trusted ChatGPT-4o to manage and reduce her seizure med dosages. You'd hope someone who made it into a top engineering position would have known the limits of AI circa May 2024

Need game devs and games jounalists to start textually distinguishing between procedurally generated content, game NPC AI, and generative LLM content, starting last year. Context is king, and being glib can cost reputation and clarity.
This goes for all of you out here too. Be precise.
oh my god lmao. I was just walking Miga and a lady with a funny little dog was by our door
ME: Oh! Hey little buddy!
HER: Don’t be fooled by his looks! He’s bad!
ME: *faux gasping* He’s BAD??
HER: He’s a bad boy!
ME: But he’s wearing a sweater!
HER: Bill Cosby wore a sweater!!!!
I yearn for an Mp3 player but it really does seem like all the ones available online are cheap plastic that cost more than they seem worth? We had this affordably figured out 20 years ago, but we now need to charge $70 for a plastic cases player? Seems weirdly out of touch...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
sorry i need to publicly be a hater for a second but what do you mean the giant 230k+ signature save mass effect petition is only about the IP and not the devs that were laid off
New leaked audio: Flock’s CEO tells a private conference of police chiefs he believes the opposition to his company isn’t real, full of paid protesters/bots. Says company is at “the bottom” but is waiting out criticism

Even getting back into social media, I'm just reminded how isolated it made me feel years ago. Like going to a mall where there are no doors, so you simply look through the windows at everything/one you want to interact with but feel unable to.
all else aside its pretty funny how right wing guys take one L and immediately start tweeting We Break The Law At All Times You Have To Lock Me Up Immediately
pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail
a UK food delivery service experimented with AI-generated images for restaurant menu items that lacked pictures. they stopped when customers reported seeing some unusual new dishes.
a tiger-prawn dish became a bowl containing actual tiger cubs.
friends, i think the tech may not be ready.
Outside of tech there has been no financial payoff to US companies for using AI, now viewed as a margin-hurting cost center, as VC-backed firms burn more tokens (Torsten Slok/Apollo Global Management)

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
Horrific.
what does it say about the national party that there are candidates running on the dem ticket buying ads saying that some people are technically subhuman without reprimand or even comment. would you abide that for any other group or is this one special
Incredible vignette while walking Miga: bent-over old guy in newsboy cap unlocks his giant $70k Genesis SUV while smoking a cigar. His cell phone rings. The custom ringtone? The Godfather theme. He squints at the phone, puts it to his ear, and shouts “WHAT PART OF ‘FUCK EM’ DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND”
RTS pop-up: you need more cocksuckers.

cocksucker: something need doing?
cocksucker: something need doing?
cocksucker: you ever tongue a tub of cream cheese frosting like it's ass?
