Imagine asking me to run an ad for your slop platform under a headline like this
AI mandates are a demand for cognitive surrender
Studies show that reducing our scope of judgment to checking AI outputs leads to abandoning critical thinking altogether.

Wait did i show yall the worlds best cow painting?
Im here to be encouraging and post cool historical ceramics
i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys
You can't believe it's not butter? Buddy, almost everything isn't butter!
So if Flock has contracted to obtain millions of license plates using their cameras on public roads, how are they able to identify vehicle owners? They must gave also bought out DMV records with our private information!!!! Addresses and more! Are they obtaining our DL photos too? All very quietly.
Whenever I am tempted to imagine what another driver might be going through, I remember this and stop
This sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.
They specifically want books before 2022 because they are uncorrupted by AI. They need books that have not been poisoned by the poison they are making. It's just like pre-war steel. They invented cultural radiation.
No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
We only rate dogs. This is a baby kangaroo, as you can tell by the kickstart button on her foot. Please only send dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (TT: supernoodlegirls)
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
Nice initiative by @jaredwhite.com: a growing opt-in directory of software developers who write code by hand. If you're coding without the use of LLMs, you're invited to add yourself to the list… handcraftedcode.org #code #coder #coding #NoAI
We write code by hand: We use Natural Intelligence to build software.
We use Natural Intelligence to build software libraries and applications in production today. Some of them you may be using right now.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
The Republicans also said that l, if Mamdani were elected, all the rich people would move out of New York. The inescapable conclusion is that rich people were doing most of the murders.
Under Mamdani’s leadership NYC just recorded the fewest murders in its history. Republicans told you NYC would be in chaos. Instead through the NBA Finals, Knicks celebrations & parade, World Cup matches, & The 250th celebration, it is the safest year NYC has ever recorded!!
This shit is not inevitable, it could be made illegal tomorrow if our governments weren't in the pocket of Big Pervert.
AI devices that see, listen and record: Are we ready for the post-smartphone world?
look, if fear of having everyone on the internet celebrate your death by bringing up every bad thing you’ve done is what it takes to stop people being cunts while they’re alive, i say let’s give it a go
“It is not reassuring to convince people that AI is going to make the world better while playing a song about the end of the world, and yet, this contradictory musical choice seems to have sailed right past everyone at Meta, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg.” Yikes…
Meta launched a new AI optimism ad set to a song about human extinction | TechCrunch
David Bowie's song "Five Years," which Meta used in a supposedly inspiring advertisement, is about humans learning that they have five years left to live before the apocalypse.

No, it's not okay to use genAI for research- or writing-adjacent activities. Those actions are also part of writing and thinking and research! Don't fall for the con of genAI boosters. Hang onto your humanity. 2/ buttondown.com/surekhadavie...

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…
