the argument goes "AI doesnt create new problems it just massively exacerbates problems that already existed for long before!!" like yeah?? that is also bad??? "machine of heres all your previous problems multiplied by 10000" also not good!! i think the problems multiplying machine is horrible even if all the problems were already here before

yeah people were lying and making bots to post content online and stealing stuff and making things up and plagiarizing and putting out slop and surveilling people and bombing civilians and rejecting insurance claims and exploiting labor thru infernal contracture and wage theft and so on and so on and so on but the fact that with AI you can do all that but a million times more is super fuckin bad idk

Oldest ghost drawing discovered on Babylonian exorcism tablet

A museum curator has discovered the oldest-known ghost drawing on a 3,500-year-old ancient Babylonian tablet that also includes instructions for how to exorcise the unwanted spirit.

The drawing on a clay tablet depicts a seemingly grumpy, bearded male ghost being led to the underworld on a rope by a woman. A ritual engraved alongside the sketch explains that the solution for removing pesky male ghosts is to give them a lover.

While examining ghost-related tablets in the vaults of the British Museum in London, Irving Finkel, a senior curator in the museum’s Middle East department, discovered the drawing and translated the accompanying ritual, The Guardian first reported. Read more.
