@Rowdy82ndAB@JonLamArt Other species have tools and technology, albeit rudimentary; no other species creates art – this is what’s at stake here, it’s just *that* important… this from a software engineer, first code ever written on a TI-99/4A as a little kid: trying to create “art” via a machine.
That's exactly the stunt they're trying to pull.
They're not democratising anything or improving access to anything.
Their sole objective is to have a monopoly on knowledge and control every aspect of technology.
The last thing they want is anyone else doing it better...
@Reuters@liamcunningham1 Fookin’ ‘ell, when the correction isn’t much better… the West Bank settlements are simply illegal under international law, rather than “deemed illegal”: please tell the geezers in charge that’s just how it works.
Yup. Outsourcing your control and decision making to a Slop Slot Machine is why AI doesn’t make sense in the Arts. Whatever it spits out, you can’t explain why you “chose” that detail, because you didn’t choose anything.
@JadeCole2112 Of course: no amount of energy or circuits running binary code shall ever climb the architecture wall…
If (a) your lookup paths are stochastic by nature, and (b) a partially failed lookup is fulfilled by making up some shite (supposedly close to the lookup), it just can’t work.
🦔UC Berkeley's computer science department just posted its worst failure rates in years. 35.3% of CS 10 students got F's in spring 2026, up from under 10% in prior semesters. Professor Dan Garcia says the primary driver is a "vast increase in academic dishonesty" through LLMs. Students use AI to complete assignments, never learn the material, then fail exams. His office hours, once full, are now empty.
My Take
Companies are firing experienced engineers while the pipeline that produces new ones is being gutted by the same technology. Students use AI to bypass the hard part of learning, show up to exams without the understanding, and fail. One professor discovered a student's linear algebra class had an "open AI" policy for homework and exams. That student then couldn't do basic linear algebra in the next course.
Both ends of the workforce are eroding at the same time. Senior engineers are getting cut to fund AI spending. Junior engineers are graduating without the skills because AI did their coursework. And the companies spending trillions on these tools haven't connected those two facts yet.

This is exactly why billionaires can’t exist. This man is burning the entire world down because he cannot accept his daughter for who she is. And he has the money to actually do it. No one can have that power.
‘BACKROOMS’ director Kane Parsons says he would get “no enjoyment” out of using generative AI on any project — “It defeats the purpose entirely for me.”
“I think I'm in the same boat as most well-adjusted people. If I could snap my fingers and make generative Al disappear forever, I probably would.”

Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.
