someone called AI summaries "mansplaining as a service" and now I can't unthink that.

Succession was 4/4 for the season finales. Don’t think we are ever seeing that again.

AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces. AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse. This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.

I'm often asked what Democratic politicians can do to learn from pro wrestling and combat Republican neokayfabe The simplest answer to that question is just, "Practice doing Dusty Rhodes's 1985 'Hard Times' promo in front of the mirror every morning until you really MEAN it" 🗣️ #wrestlesky #polisky

there are now multiple AI subreddits dedicated to kicking "AI addiction" / "chatbot addiction" full of people talking about how AI has ruined their lives or how they feel like they can't stop talking to AI bots: www.404media.co/inside-ai-ad...

I’ve listened to this several times today. Only found more to admire about the album on each listen. I’m now a die-hard Lucy Gooch fan.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

The part in the sci-fi story where the villain explains that the only way they could create their monster was to destroy millions of books.

This story is so funny. Meta competing with Perplexity and OpenAI to take requests for their extremely expensive and constantly wrong chatbots for no discernible gain beyond “we have a new user,” even said user makes them negative dollars

Throughly enjoyed this story about both April Ashley and Amanda Lear. The juxtaposition of their stories was fascinating. Recommend full heartily.

Echoing everything Seamus says here. He spends massive amount of time digging through court records to find interesting ones. He shares with us. Other outlets then don't credit. They include referral links, showing they ripped us off. You think we won't notice? 🤡 www.courtwatch.news/p/shaming-th...

I’m still not over the fact that there was an extremely popular award-winning movie over a decade ago about the perils of falling in love with a chatbot and a company decided to make the chatbot in the image of the movie’s chatbot and now quite a few people have decided to date it

i don't willfully use generative ai, i don't have ai chats with any bots, i don't us it to write any emails, i don't use it for 'inspiration' to create. by definition that isn't everyone, not to mention the 43% stat of Americans in the workforce thrown by Roose at the near start of the transcript

other than that, i'm so fucking sick of generative ai, i'm sick of reading about it, thinking about it, debating it. all of it can fucking fuck right the everliving hell the fuck off. 🤘🏽💁🏻‍♂️

a fringe benefit of AI in my own personal work, is that I don't try and clean anything up as much. I leave imperfections I would have spent the little valuable finite time on earth cleaning up. feels nice in a way. ai in a way has mostly killed most of my perfectionism tendencies

The constant stream of AI creations posted by ppl embracing the content, while also debating its merits, is perhaps taking a toll on ye old mental health 😅

Today, I wrote some words and while I'm not satisfied with my writing, it's an exploration in a new process for myself that i'm experimenting with, & I'm proud I've done the first couple steps in that process. <3

Exclusive from @404media.co - An FTC complaint led by the Consumer Federation of America outlines how therapy bots on Meta and Character.AI have claimed to be qualified, licensed therapists to users, and why that may be breaking the law.
