Honestly it's more just a general vibe. These were very short, <100wds (they would've done it on their phone and transcribed to handwriting), so it's really just that it didn't feel like a human teenage boy wrote it

It was pretty obvious (just too conventionally slick/competent), then we fed it into some detectors and they were all like "yeah bro a machine wrote this"

Actually, this isn't true. They did know they would break things. They're more than happy to break a lot of things that don't matter to them personally - which encompasses most things tbh.

The most misleading narrative coming from AI bros is not the "singularity" stuff, cause that's just funny. It is that AI lets everyone "create".
When you search an image on google and download it, are you also telling people you created it?
That's what AI images are. You just downloaded this, bro.

Truly, that is the question
If anything the unlicensed music was part of its lost-film mystique so I'm very curious

Ok, this blew up.
Check out my "FUCK AI" talk I just gave last week at A MAZE where I do a little deep-dive to explain in layman terms how LLMs work and are trained.
Feel free to show this to your boss in case they think AI tools have any actual value or merit.

The linear TV channels still generate billions in profit -- not revenue, *profit* -- but they do not generate profit in a sexy enough way to drive stock price, which is how companies and execs measure success now. We are way past good business practices and capitalism as it's widely understood.

Artificial Jagged Intelligence is one of the dumbest terms I’ve heard in my life. These guys are so out of ideas that the only ones they have are to say “what if instead of saying our stuff sucked we said it was pre-good”

Or more likely, it'll just mean these people output a lot of really average bullshit because they can't even recognise that it's average.

Many of the issues with AI boil down to: it empowers a class of useless MBA types, and disempowers people with actual skills.
This is why it's being pushed so hard by Big Tech. It allows capital to discard labour.

I recently met an MBA type so pathologically AI-pilled that they basically don't write anything themselves - they apparently spend most of their time talking to ChatGPT - and when queried on it, they whine about not having assistants anymore to do the work for them. Cannot stand these people.
