the funny thing about the timing of this is that over on twitter ppl are bending over backwards trying to justify why cheating at school was good actually when they did it before AI was widely publicly available

I don't think enough people realize that even if theyre frustrated by his arguments what he's really doing is giving us the answers to a test that was rigged to begin with, telling us what kind of arguments we're going to need to refute if we even want to stand a chance, and that's just getting lost

Yeah it's like... you got to the part where he explained that plaintiff lawyers in cases against this technology have been lambasted by judges for doing a piss poor job of talking about it, right? That's where we're going to stay at this rate

I guess I just hope that hobbyists with a genuine interest in making the world better will just go ahead and build their passion projects regardless of where the money is, that's how we got so many things that have benefited humanity anyway

This is pretty much the thesis of alex avila's piece on the topic but everyone's mad at him anyway bc vibes, but at the same time how much power do we really have? It feels like so little

So much energy and money being spent trying to replace humans when you could use a sliver of a fraction of it to empower humans instead and get better output for your trouble, just makes too much sense to be palatable I guess

Omg I was an encyclopedia kid too lol my parents had one that we kept under our TV and I'd just read random topics for hours. Go figure I'm a Wikipedia Rabbit Hole Adult now

I'm a big fan of outsourcing or automating menial and tedious tasks, and reading something I'm interested in is not one of them... to me that kinda defeats the whole purpose of why you automate/outsource stuff, to leave yourself with more time to do things that are fun and interesting!

I wonder if it had to do with being "terminally online" as a teen in an era when most kids weren't. I went to an art school and was surrounded by fellow nerds, and then I'd go online and be surrounded by even more nerds. Each of us had something that made us different, and that was good, not bad.

I don't have a good answer to the question of what experiences an unusually tall female adolescent can have that will influence them to feel one way or the other about it. In my case, I owe a lot of my confidence to my dad, and my family only discussing my crazy growth spurt positively/neutrally

I'm also 15 years older, I don't know if the cultural attitudes about this have ever really been different, though. I think I was kind of oblivious to it. In middle school/high school I used to give myself goofy names on IRC referencing how tall I am bc it was unique and something I was proud of

i guess thats not extremely bizarre that was just ytmnd in 2006
comment in response to
post
this particular ytmnd was extremely bizarre, it was a picture of some kid on a tricycle, the front wheel is a square and hes crying about that, the text says "sissy" and the audio is just "how could this happen to me" by simple plan, also theres a random sandwich icon in the corner

I'm debating messaging my brother to be like "hey remember when we were up to this nonsense?"

It's wild to me how the internet was so different back then but also not at all.

This is still hilarious to me because even 2005 getting your ~content~ noticed wasn't really easy unless someone happened to be scrolling the feed of new YTMNDs at the same time you made yours. I have no idea how this guy found it all those months later
comment in response to
post
We moved on at some point, but out of curiosity one day a year later I went back to see if any of our YTMNDs had any new comments. I discovered that some guy found the panther YTMND and made a YTMND fad (remember those?) derivative of it... which also still exists: pantherjesus.ytmnd.com

I don't think my brother's friend understood the idea that the audio clip you provide to the site will always loop forever, so he recorded his own audio clip of himself talking... and repeated himself 6 times in it. It's glorious. It still exists: panther.ytmnd.com
