I find the experience of looking at Pinterest or Instagram's 'for you' tab ruined by the question: 'is this AI generated?' I don't want to look at fake photos of imaginary scenes sucked from an LLM. I don't want to look at 'art' that wasn't created by a person.

One of the things I like about Big Hero 6 is how they never really suggest that Baymax is 'alive', and yet the film invites you to treat it/him as though it/him is. It's this sort of weird open philosophical space that goes unaddressed. In a Disney film.

Don't you miss the days when your faves were just problematic, instead of outright monsters?

A lovely story about a book quest, AI goblins, mythical goblins, and the power (and critical application) of special knowledge. (Via @robinsloan.com's excellent newsletter)

Errr… Is this, on my Facebook Portal, new? Why would I let Facebook edit my playlists etc? (Have I probably signed up for this kind of garbage before and not noticed?)

Never read a Vampirella anything in my life, but cyberpunk Vampirella with post-partum depression sounds like a great take.
