That is so crazy, I wonder by what mechanism? Maybe we should take some of the money accrued by the companies/people who profit from AI and distribute it around? Just spitballing

Great video by @dasiasade.bsky.social "We can't keep acting like every protest should result in immediate legislation or else it's a failure. It's like we need instant gratification, even in our protests. It ignores the cultural shift, the community building..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr5m...

Lol can't reply to the original post so I guess I get to be self-aggrandizing on main? Thanks, Tom, this means a lot 😂

I don't really say this lightly, but Sam has really made something special here. If art can be good, this is good art.

"Laughing pushes the absurdity from it usual horror into something that I can survive" I know I throw video essays out to rec all willy nilly but this one? This one's special Thank you for sharing this. I really wish you didn't have to

I'm not sure I have the words to capture how beautiful this video is as a work of art. Just go watch it!

The best art I ever made started in a DM with Sam where I said "I have this weird idea and I think it's probably impossible." And she said "That sounds amazing, but yes probably impossible." This video started the same way, with the roles reversed. It's probably the best art she's ever made. Watch.

LLMs are a legitimately interesting technology, and I wish I *could* be interested in them instead of what is societally required of me (unwavering condemnation) because no-fucking-body in the government, tech c-suite, or grifterverse can be trusted to oversee the development or use of this tech.

AI suggestions want me to be a robot in a business suit. It might not be "professional" but... I want to talk like myself? I want to use my own jargon? I want to *be an individual?* Is that ok?? What if, instead of making tools to homogenize speech, we make room for many modes of expression?
It's a huge mistake to "adjust to" or "adapt" to generative AI. There's rarely been a more clearcut situation to reject vehemently for so many reasons. One reason beyond those that apply now is the future capacity for proactive manipulation and distortion. We need less outside interference not more.

Ok so. I do not understand why these people can't get over preferred pronouns. It's just not difficult? It's really not hard? It's wild to watch what is effectively a mass adult temper tantrum fuel a regressive political movement.

from the creator of my favorite video of last year comes a sequel to my favorite video of last year, which is probably going to be my favorite video of this year. both of his videos on AI have so heavily influenced and put shape to my vague poorly defined ideas in ways I didn't know i needed tbh
josh (with paranormalities)@joshwithparenthes.es · 5mo agoOut now: AI and the Murder of Truth. And Air Bud. On AI, education, fascism, paying the Dane-geld, and why there ain’t no rule says a dog can’t play basketball.

Lil effects test for the next video. Pretty happy so far! Love getting to take tiny ideas and run with them ☺️
Youtube friends! Need someone to edit your audio? If your VO sounds like you're recording from the bottom of a swimming pool or eating a handful of pop rocks, let's chat! Down to send before/after audio samples. Flexible rates :D

🌠 New Video! 🌠 Join me for a very close reading of Cowboy Bebop's strange and evocative 6th episode. I delve into what the story believes about death and purpose, and arrive at some reflection on how it is that art and artists can become immortal. 3, 2, 1... youtu.be/4XR2f3odioY

You MUST come join the premiere of Josh’s AI ramblings pt2. I’m stunned by how well he pulled this together. My preliminary watch had me thinking, “yes, this is what a skilled, passionate human writer is capable of. There is no substitute.” youtu.be/sETvPBVKBAY
