I wonder how unrealistic this is. Maybe AI's not in printed textbooks yet--if my high school was typical, books are generally several years old--but what about the vast quantity of online educational "resources" sold to schools? If so, kids would be justified in not wanting to "study" them (3/3)

Sure enough, there were so many tiktoks about textbooks, including mine, pointing out obvious signs of AI-generated prose, hallucinations, and, a particularly viral form of content, illustrations and "photos" where the AI had snuck in penises in the background (2/n)

Last night I dreamed I was a high school student who wanted to read ahead in a history textbook during class. I came to a paragraph where the numbers didn't add up and the text made no sense the more I reread it. Had this brand-new textbook been generated by an LLM? I checked TikTok (1/n)

i had a dream one of the big GPU as a service llm hosting providers was mining cryptocurrency during off peak hours and it got me wondering how much nascent crypto mining hashrate exists just in the hyperscalers newly built llm infra.

dreamed we were on a mediterranean holiday and i got in a fight at the hotel with an ai-pilled LSP ceo who was a hybrid of one of my bosses and giancarlo ditrapano

I teach law on Hainan, a tropical island in southern China. I once dreamed I was explaining "law" to an AI. It went badly — it couldn't see why we'd spend four thousand years arguing over one word. I wrote it down, and Nature ran the story in May. Here to read, mostly. What am I missing?

Once I dreamed I was an AI, and now I no longer know whether I am Jms Dnns, who dreamed I was an AI, or whether I am an AI dreaming that I am Jms Dnns.

Last night I dreamed Tumblr used AI to implement a mandatory feature that automatically placed illustrative emojis before all important nouns in posts, like the dialogue in "Super Mario Odyssey", except there was something wrong with the AI and it gradually started identifying every noun as "gun".

I had a dream where my phone updated and for some reason it ‘ai enhanced’ my keyboard so when I typed ‘I disagree’ to a coworker but it ended up calling them a lying rat…

I had a dream that in Elden Ring, a little girl offers the chance to receive a neural implant, & if the player agrees, an AI personality will talk nonstop directly into the protagonist's head for the entire rest of the game. I've never played Elden Ring, but I assume this doesn't happen 😂

I had a dream where we were talking about a photo of a panda holding a baby in a swimming pool and the reflection in the pool clearly showed there was no baby because it was AI and I hate that this is a thing my brain thinks I should dream about.

do you ever have a dream thats just so fucking stupid you wake up angry? last night i had a dream that they made like three new nge movies and all of them were incomprehensible plotless slop meant to pander to people who get a boner for the aesthetics of nge.

Dream: I was trying to read the inscription on the forehead of a grey stone bust, it started talking to me. Turns out it’s an experimental ai-mod set up by a corporate ceo honcho. It morphed into a grey cat with convincing fur & persuasive entwining cuddle-ability. Though fur was clay-ey, a tell

Stone bust of a man, pursed, downturned mouthCarved stone cat, paws curled under

So I had a crazy dream that McConnell was alive and came out of the hospital walking and talking and now that I think about it, people weren't sure if it was AI, but the news was like, well, guess we were wrong. Moving on... And I know it was a dream, but now I'm worried it'll happen irl

🙄 I had a very Orwellian dream last night: the increasing use of AI is obviously really disturbing me. In the dream we had absolutely no control over even online s/m ordering. I'd order oranges & I'd get a msg on the screen in bold red block letters: 'you are not permitted to order this item'.

One of the other 'animals' went missing and he had to be very very discreet while crossing the environment looking for it. Most of the dream was about doing that, as a creature that only had its sense of touch, inputted via the LLM text based interface, to do so.

had a dream they scanned a parrot’s brain and turned it into an ai. as soon as they turned it on it started materializing things out of thin air and attacking people who wore colors it didn’t like. naturally, i was like “i need to get my brain scanned and turned into an ai immediately”

Had a nightmare that AI data centers used up all the energy on the planet. None left. In the dream, the AI purposefully severed the connections between windmills/solar panels to the powergrid, and used up the non-rewable to power the AI data centers. Zero electricity was left on the planet.
