There's a guy on tiktok called Cancer Faking Expert who I just loveee. He's the world's only expert on people who fake cancer and is getting a degree specifically in it because he spent so much personal time gathering data around cancer faking. You can study anything, I love it.
“The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you…”
We're in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.
To be clear, I don’t just hate GenAI. I also hate golf, war, monoculture farming, clear-cutting forests, and building on floodplains. I love biodiversity, wildlife conservation, regenerative forestry, soil restoration, sustainable farming, and economic degrowth.
why is there actually, legitimately, discourse around reading speed right now “8 hours to read a book is slow” “you should be able to read a book in 3-5 hours”
bro we are in a literacy CRISIS, i do not care how fast or slow you read a book, just pick one up and read it
there is literally no funnier way i could've imagined this. like that's it. that's the funniest possible version of how the olaf animatronic would power off
“AI is the future!”
Nah, AI is YOUR future because you’re a lazy, talentless wannabe. I still have a properly functioning brain so I’m gonna keep using that.
“hey dude, how’s it going?”
yeah pretty good, i’ve started to get this kind of gnawing dread every time i throw a little piece of plastic in the bin and i vividly visualise billions of people doing the exact same thing for decades but other than that pretty good, how about you?
It's happening. I heard my first conservative adopt the "Why did he go to a protest with a gun?" line.
I'm sorry, this is the United States, you're allowed to carry guns. You're allowed to go to a protest armed, it's kind of our thing here. It has been for eons.
I have no theory of mind for people who use AI to “help write emails”. You are presumably writing this email to communicate your thoughts. If you do not have thoughts, do not send an email.
