if even MORE stuff shows up on my dash that I did not ask for I swear I shall simply start biting people

Imo, The mindset of the modern American reactionary is that of the estranged parent. It's a person who cannot allow themself to understand that yeah, they were a shit parent, and their kids aren't talking to them because they were a shit parent. It's the two-time wanna-be small business failure who cannot allow themselves to believe that they failed, and that there may have been consequences to their choices.

I think it has something to do with why transphobia is the popular cudgel now. This idea of the "trans cult" that took their kids away gives shape and form to the storm of negative emotions in their life. Its something to focus all their emotions on. Comparing trans people to pedophiles gives them the justification they need for righteous anger. By framing their anger as "you were keeping them safe" it allows them to feel like they were right all along.

i’m starting a movement to stop calling this shit “artificial intelligence” cause it’s fucking not. it’s not intelligent, and the things it produces are not informed by logical choices. it doesn’t know how to research sources for you. it doesn’t compose art thoughtfully or meaningfully.

call it machine-generated, text generator, chat bot, but it’s not intelligent.

I have started calling it Artificially Generated in my head and I support all of these.

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

i think one of the most important things you learn about making connections with others is that a significant portion of the time people just do not know theyre doing what theyre doing

sometimes someone is acting selfish because they just didnt think you had any interest in what theyre hogging. sometimes you dont get invited to the movies because your friend could have sworn that you said no. sometimes you think someone is mad at you because theyre bad at hiding how little sleep they got. we are all like little worlds that briefly crash into one another from time to time and we just arent physically capable of seeing the whole picture at once in those moments. and learning that really changed everything!

This is why I object strenuously to the idea that people should just "say what they mean". Y'all, most of the time people don't know what they mean. Even if they try at all times to give you direct communication, they do not know what it is they are trying to express, and they're going to express it inexpertly.

And don't even get me started on the language barrier between people who speak the same language.

Please understand that we are an aftermarket species. We're attempting to run bird software on primate hardware, using modded pieces to even be able to produce language. Our attention spans are short and our memories are incredibly faulty, and we're trying to keep about ten fully formed other human brains in our brain at the same time, and also model maybe 50 other brains on the fly every day.

Also a huge amount of the processing power we were given by nature for keeping track of the locations of drinking water and our special friends food preferences are being used to remember how to use Microsoft Excel or the cash register at work.

One thing some people don't seem to understand is that entire chains of information frequently just do not even initialize.

"If you didn't know you should have asked" is an especially frustrating criticism when you make a mistake because when we do something inconsiderate "without knowing" it does not mean you thought "I'm not sure this will be a problem or not but I'll do it and just not say anything." It means you were never conscious of that possibility, period. The question did not manifest into your thoughts and that isn't something you get to choose.

In other cases you might have even tried already to consider and reached a different conclusion you were positive was correct, and previous interactions might have led you to believe the person would be annoyed with you doing the thing any *other* way.

It's not that you don't care. You can care very very much and still the entire "dataset" fails to "load." I don't believe this is just in things like ADHD or other conditions (though they seem to make it a thousand times more frequent), it's a universal phenomenon and yet what we've normalized in society is that it's always selfish and shameful to not magically consider every variable at once in every interaction or task, and take "sorry, I didn't realize" as just a flimsy excuse for laziness or something.

modern gaming culture is so uniquely exhausting

dyscomancer

you can't google anything about a game without being flooded with hundreds of copypasted ad-bloated articles like "How to navigate the menus in Gun Fart 25 SECRET TIPS". every comment section on every game that dares to feature anything beyond straight white dudes is filled to the brim with nazi 4chan chuds whining about how gay people are ruining their hobby. video guides have 2 minute long intros with fake bubbly annoying youtube personalities gushing about a task that takes than 30 seconds to explain. spoilers everywhere. battle passes. having to fear nft/crypto integration. the worst instances of FOMO in human history. every single piece of useful info being locked behind yet another discord server you have to join. i'm tired.

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

truly will never get over the fact that L from death note was designed specifically to be unattractive in contrast to the pretty boy looks of light, but in order to achieve that they just made him look like a pale emoboy with too much eyeliner. in the 2000s. what did they expect

wish ppl understood the power nowadays in not giving something attention. things today are so focused on attention and reaction and #memes that the best way to shut literally anything down is simply not give it exactly what it wants. like you arent going to own that bigot on twitter youre going to boost their original message whether thats your intent or not and you arent just playing with ai for shits and giggles you are giving it free learning and data. just stop engaging with things that dont deserve it

The WGA has two main stipulations. First, the guild wants to make sure that “literary material” — the MBA term for screenplays, teleplays, outlines, treatments, and other things that people write — can’t be generated by an AI. In other words, ChatGPT and its cousins can’t be credited with writing a screenplay. If a movie made by a studio that has an agreement with the WGA has a writing credit — and that’s over 350 of America’s major studios and production companies — then the writer needs to be a person.

“Based on what we’re aiming for in this contract, there couldn’t be a movie that was released by a company that we work with that had no writer,” says August.

Second, the WGA says it’s imperative that “source material” can’t be something generated by an AI, either. This is especially important because studios frequently hire writers to adapt source material (like a novel, an article, or other IP) into new work to be produced as TV or films. However, the payment terms, particularly residual payouts, are different for an adaptation than for “literary material.” It’s very easy to imagine a situation in which a studio uses AI to generate ideas or drafts, claims those ideas are “source material,” and hires a writer to polish it up for a lower rate. “We believe that is not source material, any more than a Wikipedia article is source material,” says August. “That’s the crux of what we’re negotiating.”

In negotiations prior to the strike, the AMPTP refused the WGA’s demands around AI, instead countering with “annual meetings to discuss advancements in technology.”
