@DEADLINE How slow does his discovery begin? By the end of the movie, is he done beginning discovering, and now actually discovering? Or is he beginning to discover it the whole time

You really have to read Ted Chiang on consciousness and AI—just published in The Atlantic:

I first got into Joe Bennett through the Jay shorts on CAKE. Big news for CAKE heads. Anyone remember how good CAKE was?

[Netflix @netflix]

Dealies, a new adult animated series from the producers of Common Side Effects and Scavenger's Reign, is coming soon to Netflix.

The staff at big box store DEALIES are masters of the delicate alchemy of trade, prophets of enterprise...and occasionally they do some actual work. Created by Joe Bennett and Ted Travelstead.

This suuuuuuuuuucks :(

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Before ChatGPT, more than 98 per cent of all English-language articles published on the internet were written by humans. By the fall of 2024, machines were writing around half.

Obviously using AI to summarize the study bc you can't read it, and using AI to write a prompt bc you can't write, telling the AI to play patty cake with you while your brain atrophies. Ok

No no, stay in your little AI freak show please. The normal people are trying to enjoy the world before you ruin it.

NYC observations after spending last week there

• people are actually outside touching grass (or cement 😅)
• very few AI ads or billboards around
• even cafes i went to - very few screens with claude code or cursor or some coding tool
• people are way more open to socializing. everyone is willing to strike up a conversation (not about AI agents)
• the energy is electric - everyone’s moving with purpose.
• found a way to talk to folks without mentioning AI
• way more artists, and non traditional creators. Met an actual physical product designer which was cool.

it’s genuinely refreshing to remember there’s a whole world outside the feed

been traveling the last few days and the SF tech bubble makes it easy to forget how alive real cities feel.

sorry SF, you’re still home… but perspective is healthy 🤷‍♂️

Why would a reporter want to talk to you? Are they doing an article on business owners who try to get around doing work by relying on opaque untested systems they don't really need?

Offloading your personal idiocy onto the general concept of AI is really great. "I'm too stupid to do anything, but don't worry, so is the thing I'm using maybe!"

Polymarket is evil for all the obvious reasons but it is also a right wing machine for lying

What do you mean I have to pay $35 per month to ride my one wheel skateboard? If I can't do this my kids will have to watch me smoke cigarettes

[fletch @gr8fletcher]

"Need a PhD to tell it what to do" people actually feel SMART for using genAI, they tell themselves it's actually Skillful and Hard and so they feel good about themselves. Well it's not. It's easy, cheap, disgusting, loser shit. 👎

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Steven Soderbergh says his upcoming documentary about John Lennon and Yoko Ono will include roughly “10 minutes” worth of generative AI.

“AI has been helpful in creating thematically surreal images that occupy a dream space rather than a literal space. And that’s been really fun because you need a Ph.D. in literature to tell it what to do. But like every other piece of technology, it desperately requires very close human supervision.”

"The Case Against Universal Free Lunch"

[𝕊𝕠𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕤𝕥 𝕊𝕪𝕤𝕒𝕕𝕞𝕚𝕟 💾 @reset_by_peer]

Almost everyone in the world views AI as a cheat-code that lets you get out of doing work. It’s a tool that lets you pull one over on your annoying boss or the mean professor.

If you are seeing AI output, however, it means someone is trying to pull one over on you, which sucks.
