a lot of talk about people getting more insane but nobody willing to link it to the day in middle school when we were led into a cave to glimpse our future self and decide whether or not we believed in determinism. sometimes I think I’m still back there. what “choice” did I make?

Google's move to AI means traditional SEO doesn't work anymore so every big company is now desperately doing Reddit AMAs to try and get their responses ingested by the Gemini slop machine and farted out in AI summaries

Stop calling it a 'deck', it's a PowerPoint presentation. You can't make it sound cool because (a) this is a workplace, nothing is cool here (b) it's a PowerPoint presentation

Writing fiction in any genre should be a purely human exercise. If you use AI to generate *any* dialog, story ideas, character shapes, *anything* creative, you're betraying the very concept of artistic expression. This is a bright flashing red line for me. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...

I've accidentally discovered that fans of Glen Hansard are mass-reporting social media comments pointing out his predilection for teenage girls. I don't even know what to say about this. They're like Michael Jackson fans who smell worse

People who want you to speak kindly about dead abusers wouldn’t have wanted you to say it when he was alive either. Hearing about abuse is uncomfortable, they don’t know how to feel or respond and so they prefer the culture of silence that allows abusers to operate.

So exhausted already by the meme that the "tells" of gen AI writing are when something is structurally aping the way a decent professional writer writes, rather than when it's meaningless word salad. (You will take my em dashes, sets of three, and lack of typos from my cold, dead hands.)

nothing shouts "I don't read much" more than when you equate em-dashes with AI. as Kat says here: 1) AI uses em-dashes BECAUSE AUTHORS USE THEM & AI IS TRAINED ON OUR WRITINGS! 2) "AI checkers" are complete bunk (just another AI bullshit machine), 3) this is not a "list of three" haha
