Joined @stephruhle.bsky.social on MSNOW to talk about the AI bubble, its differences to the Dot-Com Bubble, and how if AI "doesn't work out" it's everyone's problem, with retail investors making up 20% of the market's volume and having over $4.65tn in direct exposure to AI stocks.

It sure looks like the folks who run immense AI companies believe they are building a God. an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-judging God. I do not want to be right about this.

Grandiloquent Word of the Day

It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase, while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down, once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds —William Carlos Williams

so frustrated right now. GIMP decided it will never launch again on my Win10 (a dozen reinstalls, portable versions, checked every old posting online, you name it) I finally relented and downloaded something called Krita as a substitute It doesn't launch either. I just want to make some cover art

one of the less fun things about finally getting to watch an older TV series is that I (almost) never mention which series it is. We don't binge because I prefer letting the episodes percolate for a while, also it's less overwhelming. Anyway, we're in the middle of some VERY good stories.

In a hearing where residents grilled officials on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed an NDA with any party regarding developments that could affect the town? The majority of the township's officials refused to answer.

If demons actually existed then gen-AI media would be what they would produce. Gen-AI media literally breaks a commandment: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Generating a video of someone who doesn't exist doing something that was not done is a false representation of reality Generating music that is made to sound like something produced by people is the same kind of false representation. It's not art: it's a lie.

There's an inherent challenge to political complaining. In order to oppose a viewpoint, you have to tell others what you're complaining about, often before you rebut it. This provides the opposing viewpoint first. This plasters the opponent's name and their bad ideas all over your discussion space

GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.
