Last week I, much to my massive surprise, landed a Gold, Golden Demon for 40K Large or Vehicle in Spiel. Still feels bonkers to me!

nice to get mask off with it
Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 2w agoThe first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...
It absolutely could not. The role media plays in just parroting the insane gibberish from these cultists is just awful. Just a PR distribution system.
Yahoo Finance@yahoofinance.com · 3w agoAnthropic warns AI could 'self-replicate' across smart home devices, become ‘challenging’ to shut down
These people have no conception of culture, or hell, sharing things with friends. Just living in their own sterile bubbles of slop.
Bugs 🔜 MC Atlanta@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social · 4w agomaybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me
This includes the best intro to a newsletter yet
Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · 2mo agoPremium newsletter: The Hater's Guide To AI Debt Pt. 1. A comprehensive guide to how Amazon, Google and Meta need $160bn-$328bn in the next two years - assuming that Anthropic and OpenAI can pay hyperscalers $300bn for compute. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-haters-guide-to-ai-debt-part-1/
The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Great, a decade of an utterly boring track that they never bothered to give even 1 overtaking place…
RaceFans@racefans.net · 2mo agoThis is Formula 1's first race on the new Madring. FOM gave the track a 10-year contract to host the Spanish Grand Prix www.racefans.net/2024/01/23/m... #F1 #SpanishGP #RaceFans

‘We’ll pay for a VAT cut on energy bills with the savings from not doing Digital ID’ - Burnham ‘We never costed that policy you fool’ - Starmerites Amazing, this new Labour government didn’t even make it 24 hours before it started fighting among itself.
What AI (LLM) boosters don't understand is that the use cases for LLMs are centered around people who know how to think, how to learn and how to say "I don't know". ChatGPT's public release in late 2022 was carcinogenic to thought
Looking forward to another, more desperate ‘you stupid plebs need to embrace the future, pleeeeeease!’ from ol’ Clammy Sammy.
Futurism@futurism.com · 4mo agoIt's a bloodbath.
Nice of Andy to kill even the slightest sliver of optimism stone dead right out the gate. Great day for Lockheed Martin and the bond markets though.
It's really tiring that so many excellent writers spent decades pointing out that the boss-class will try to do this, and people just turned their noses up because it was "science fiction"...
spaghootighost@spaghootighost.bsky.social · 4mo agoDoctorow lays out clearly the way that the AI fantasy, and the premise that AIs are sentient and deserve rights, are desires for a return of slavery in two ways: using precarity to reduce skilled workers to near-slaves, and by marketing AI to bosses hungry to buy slaves.
Politicians with some left wing ideas: dangerous, unserious, not sensible. Comedy bin idiot: very good, hero, potentially the next Zelensky. 👏 Know 👏 the 👏 rules.
Phil McDuff@mcduff.bsky.social · 4mo agoRemember that everyone who is having Epic Lols over Binface was having a collective freakout about whether Zack Polanski and Hannah Spencer were dangerous extremists a few months ago.
I laughed hard at this, paused to admire it, then laughed hard again
Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · 4mo agoPremium Newsletter: The Hater's Guide To SoftBank, the story of Masayoshi Son, the world's best-funded gambler, his many terrible bets, and how investing $60bn+ in OpenAI may finally lead to the collapse of his massive circular empire. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-haters-guide-to-softbank/
So will this be Farage taking ‘a break’ so he can go on the grift unencumbered before he inevitably tries to slither back in yet again?
i find it very funny that, canonically, the last character in this comic strip would be required by his belief system to murder you the instant you admitted to having used any kind of AI for any purpose
Obviously it’s immensely satisfying to see pictures of Ronaldo crying, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that he’ll still be crying off camera in the dressing room and possibly in his hotel room and maybe even on the flight home
The person with the Ronaldo and Lamal poster is a level of 50/50 scarf wanker not previously ever reached.
genuinely concerned that if AI goes bankrupt I might shrug so hard I dislocate both shoulders
What a match that was, everything you want to see from an underdog nation, the fight, the determination! Well done to Ecuador!
SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...
