There's a genre of political takes I keep saying lately which goes "*I'M* not racist, but you know how *OTHER* people are so we can't support a Muslim election candidate or we'll lose." It isn't clever.

No. I am not boosting the Peanuts AI slop, not even for a quote dunk. Charles M. Schulz’s work is the pinnacle of *human* creativity. It is an insult to human art in general if you ask the machine to plagiarize it. It’s as bad as a slur, IMO.

I feel a little guilty for skipping Webcomicon when it couldn't be more convenient for me, but I just don't feel like I get anything out of it.

The Spanish dancer (Hexabranchus sanguineus) is a large, vibrant red sea slug that swims by rippling its body like a flamenco skirt, stores toxic chemicals from its sponge diet for defense, and grows up to 60 or 90 centimeters long. Photograph from Coral Bay in Western Australia

Oh FFS. Tell me the folks complaining about the noise from the AI data center across the street aren't displaying an AI-generated banner on their front railing. We are so cooked.

This is a well-produced segment. I encourage you to watch so you can hear the noise for yourself. The professor of environmental health science that they interviewed called it an “unprecedented new noise source.”

It's just the funny pages, Winsor. You didn't have to go so hard!

The legendary "walking bed" page from Winsor McCay's "Little Nemo in Slumberland" was published on July 26, 1908. If there’s a Mt. Rushmore for Sunday pages, this one is certainly on it.

Love to block someone for their bad takes only to have them add me to a list calling me a Nazi in retaliation. Like yes I know you have dookie for brains, that's why I blocked you. "Not wanting to read my lousy opinions makes you a fascist" can you hear yourself

Ideologically, generative AI is a 19th century technology: the flawed dream that once you have assembled a supposedly total archive of culture via technical media, you can use it to statistically derive new meaning from patterns of the past

You won't catch me posting matrix or terminator bits in relation to real-world AI deployment because that would constitute a reproduction and endorsement of the foundational marketing lie that these technologies ought to be conceived of as comparable to the "thinking machine" science fiction premise

Knowledge is fragile. It's important to learn what you can but it's also really important to make sure to tell somebody else.

Hey, it's more of my nonsense.

How about a jet-lagged live posting while I read? Trying to read this because I keep getting tagged in posts about it, but the first paragraph already contains synthetic text (a quote from Claude). I will skip that bit and persevere... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I say this with all love for speculative fiction: let's put our scientific resources towards real problems. (And we should also be putting more resources into literature and literary scholarship, but call it what it is. Also, I doubt the SFF community wants these clowns either.) >>
