Ah right, Wallace. Seemed like everything he did was a cry for help

I think I remember that from my creative writing class! Wasn’t it by O’Connor or someone?

I cannot tell if this is legitimate or some potemkin-esque concept design for a factory

I’ve been trying to figure out if Stone Rebel is an AI band or not. They started in 2018 and have put out something like 77 albums since, but it’s relatively simple instrumental. They have almost no information online except a claim that they’re “based in France”

Honestly can’t tell if they’re a legit yet very private group, or if they were early adopters of procgen music

All I’ve got is this hammer drill

Yup not contesting the article itself, but giving some explanation for all the anger you were wondering being about

It’s a boiling frog thing. AI and LLMs are shoved in our faces everywhere and it’s harder every day to opt out. Job boards are flooded with positions for human in the loop AI training or AI experience requirements. AI gen text, images, and video are obscuring an already muddled information space. They also draw an astronomical amount of energy which is detrimental to the global ecosystem. Meanwhile costs are going up, it’s borderline impossible to get a job, and people are scared this automation will push them out of employment without generating new jobs, especially if art and entertainment are taken over by gen AI. People are saying “I’m being boiled alive” but by the time there’s enough data to validate that we’ll already be stew.

The way information is presented matters too. When articles circulate they get often slanted and summarized (or people just read the headline and make assumptions). Key information gets tossed aside for easy talking points to support whichever narrative and the people affected feel unseen and unheard.

There’s a lot going on and it isn’t just “AI bad”

Haha you’re in danger

Goodhart’s Law in action

Your Undivided Attention discussed an important point missing from the article, which is that ChatGPT advised him to hide his activities and concerns from his parents. This doesn’t necessarily absolve the parents, but it does add a layer of nuance to the discussion

So I’ll be getting job interviews soon? Right?

Sushi/nigiri.

I do not screw around with low quality or bad meats, especially fish meat. I had enough fresh fish when I lived in Japan to know what it’s supposed to look and smell like, and if the nigiri I’m served smells any bit off I’m simply not eating it.

If your fish smells like fish, it’s gone bad. Most types of fish if properly preserved should smell somewhat like clean seawater, with some variation by species

Edit: Also, if the rice looks dry or doesn’t adhere properly, I assume the kitchen has no idea what they’re doing and won’t eat it

Thank you, I will now internalize this for future silly misuse

Can it work the other way too? Like an excessively high energy person makes a normal energy person seem less so?

I would like to request a translation

If you water a dying plant, it will drink. It’s almost like people without enough money need it for something

I also use URLCheck on my phone. Made it the default browser and it pops up with options to clean the link and choose which browser to open it with

Hyperion is my standard for space operas. The following book is pretty good and answers some things, but the rest of the series lacks the same poetic grandeur

Dude, what is this book. Who writes like this? I fucking adore it
