Man, really Apple? Really? It literally says “Image Creation” and “Chat GPT Extension”. Hidden under SCREEN TIME. Gah!!! These tech bros are literally trying to shove this junk down our throats. Keep resisting it. It’s so dumb.

The big #AI story right now: Pure scaling has failed to produce #AGI "In short, half a trillion dollars have been invested in a misguided premise; a great deal more funding seems to be headed in the same direction for now." ~ @garymarcus.bsky.social fortune.com/2025/02/...

Three online "news" stories published this week that include quotes from me that I didn't say. But I didn't do interviews and get misquoted. And they're not written by actual journalists. My best guess is there are massive amounts of AI slop getting posted as news and now I'm part of it. 😬

Funny story. In 2024, people who were convinced immigrants and foreign trade had stolen their jobs voted into office an administration that set about replacing human workers entirely with AI. Also the AI sucked. The end.

Missed this somehow while writing my piece, but 350 million weekly active users of ChatGPT is total and utter bullshit, sorry. Chatgpt.com had, at best, 250m unique monthly visitors in the last few months according to Similarweb, who also said they'd never broken 150m weekly uniques. Liars!

Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

As a reference, the $46B that Meta spent building this shit is about the same amount of money Spain used to built its WHOLE high speed rail network. All 2469 miles of it. Zuckerberg got that money selling shitty ads and destroying democracy, and gave the world this.

It is ABSOLUTELY imperative that we do not allow our government to go ahead with their plans for AI. It’s very clear that they have ZERO desire to avoid the problems that rolling it out without regulation will inevitably cause. We need to push back on this.

I’m seeing a bunch of artists referencing AI art, either for render, pose or both. And lemme say, even though you draw it yourself, it still has the stench of AI art quite noticably. I recommend you to use proper references 👍

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

The headline on this article is misleading. The AI is great at simulating or faking empathy, or teaching the reps how to do so. To my mind, that's worse than not exhibiting it at all.

LLMs don't read, they don't think, they don't feel, they are not capable of critical evaluation of the kind peer review is meant to foster. If the academic conversation is not conducted by unique human intelligences in community with each other, it ceases to matter. It is giving up.
