It sure looks like the folks who run immense AI companies believe they are building a God. an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-judging God. I do not want to be right about this.

It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase, while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down, once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds —William Carlos Williams

A dark green, leather-textured quote graphic bordered in white, with a small oval black-and-white portrait of William Carlos Williams at the top. Below, in large white serif lettering, is the quotation: “It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase, while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down, once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds…” — William Carlos Williams.

so frustrated right now. GIMP decided it will never launch again on my Win10 (a dozen reinstalls, portable versions, checked every old posting online, you name it) I finally relented and downloaded something called Krita as a substitute It doesn't launch either. I just want to make some cover art

one of the less fun things about finally getting to watch an older TV series is that I (almost) never mention which series it is. We don't binge because I prefer letting the episodes percolate for a while, also it's less overwhelming. Anyway, we're in the middle of some VERY good stories.

If demons actually existed then gen-AI media would be what they would produce. Gen-AI media literally breaks a commandment: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

There's an inherent challenge to political complaining. In order to oppose a viewpoint, you have to tell others what you're complaining about, often before you rebut it. This provides the opposing viewpoint first. This plasters the opponent's name and their bad ideas all over your discussion space

GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.

The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.
