This really just makes me...sad. Sad for the kid who doesn't have a father that wants to read to them. Sad for the state of humanity where we would think about interacting with our kids as something to streamline, optimise, or "solve". This is fundamentally depressing.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng : My wife: Can you read our baby a book? Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone. My wife: But then it won't be in your voice. Me: I can train a voice model. Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

This problem is built on an erosion in academic rigour I witnessed when I started my postdoc. I was dumb founded by the grant-and-paper mill some labs were, that consistently created papers referencing work they'd never read. AI slop amplifies human slop.

"The psychologist and cognitive scientist Iris van Rooij has argued that the emergence of AI “slop” across scholarly resources portends nothing less than “the destruction of knowledge.”" www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult... open access link: archive.ph/qt59c 3/🧵

Yes, the internet, foss, society, and the climate got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we didn't even create a lot of value for shareholders because AI was never actually profitable.

if you are reviewing an unpublished manuscript and you have the sheer unmitigated audacity, cheek, gall and laziness to upload it into an LLM to generate a review, let me tell you, you should be shunned and tarred and feathered

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

I deleted Reddit off my phone a few months ago, and my life got better. However, I would occasionally lurk some old subs to just see what was up. Now Reddit has made it so you need the app to even use the site at all. So thank you, Reddit, for making our separation complete.

This view has unfortunately been around for a long time, and often from those outside the field. They generally were criticised for being silly mystics. The problem is they're now emboldened by corporate interests.

There is no reason to use AI to make art for your game. Use public domain images. Use abstract shapes to represent things. Take photos. Lean into your "crappy" art as a style. "But I can't do that" yes you can. You can try. Art emerges from your craft. Your voice will sing through. If you have one.

Now that I live in South-West Sydney, I know the whole "Red Rooster is the chicken of Western Sydney" thing was invented by fools who never went West of Paddington. The real chicken of the West is FRANGO.
