Une affiche au teint jaune pisse, surchargée de textures dérangeantes, pleine de postillons autour de chaque mot et remplie de mièvrerie mensongère telles que “fait avec amour 🩷” est un moyen très sûr de me perdre comme client.

Affiches, marketing et IA: à trop vouloir économiser, tout finit par se ressembler

Brocantes, festivals, restaurants… De plus en plus de petits entrepreneurs et commerçants recourent à l'IA pour générer des visuels promotionnels. Au risque de tous se ressembler, voire de susciter le...

"construction of the ballroom will inflict permanent and irreversible harm to the historic, architectural, and aesthetic interests of the National Trust’s members, as well as the design of President’s Park, the White House, and the surrounding area."

"Oh, I only use LLMs for research. I just use AI for ideas. ChatGPT wrote the first draft, nothing else." So what you're telling me is that it's doing all your thinking for you.

This narrative mirrors the realist take on the security dilemma in IR, where nations are allegedly doomed to participate in an arms race toward mutually assured destruction. But this is just a capitulation of human intelligence, putting narrow self-interests before the greater collective good.

The “losing control” narrative creates the loss of control. Nobody is losing control of an emerging intelligence. They’re redirecting their own agency to it, as a way of diffusing responsibility, but the self-perpetuated intelligence myth has them convinced they have no choice.

Musk has been socializing violence since long before that. Any analysis of Xitter as a tool of violence has to draw the continuity of Jan6 through to today.

I guess it was only a matter of time before this October 2016 New Yorker cartoon by John McNamee came to life.

An October 2016 New Yorker cartoon by John McNamee showing swarthy man in an undershirt and pants sits on a large upholstered armchair watching a small television. On the floor to his left is an opened can of green paint lying on its side, some green paint spilling out onto the floor. On his lap, he holds a can of purple paint, the same color that is smeared all around his mouth. Angrily, he shouts at the television, “I’m sick of experts telling me what paints I can’t drink.”

I remember young me in the 90s dreaming that science and technology would help us unlock the mysteries of the universe and understand the very fabric of reality. Instead, they turbocharge fascism. This tragedy makes me sick.
