Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d agoNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Hillary Monahan@hillarymonahan.bsky.social · last wk.Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

Oh hey, yep, basically same conclusions we came to. Like even if you're willing to write off the ethical stuff, there's a bunch of super boring business reasons to not go anywhere near it. Including "it appears to erode your abilities even if you're aware of that risk going in." That's uh. Um. No.
Daniel Fedor@dcfedor.bsky.social · 2w agoBlue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12
bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

Cato Institute@cato.org · 3w ago"The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus." — Milton Friedman. They were driven by individual liberty and free markets. And they always will be.
I see people arguing that anti-car stuff mostly comes from people without kids, and I’d just say; 1. It is, obviously, easier to get around without a car if you don’t have kids. 2. The reasons for that are mostly policy choices, and if we can change policy to fix those things.
For that matter, I think “anti-car” is bad framing. I am pro-mass transit and pro-smarter urban design. No one thinks everyone should or could ditch their car tomorrow without any other changes. The point is that we should make it easier and better to get around the places we live.
There are lots of ideas like congestion pricing or pedestrianizing streets that people say they’re opposed to, but when they’re implemented lots of people change their minds because they see how much better things can be when we don’t start with the premise “everyone should be stuck in traffic”.
