This is pretty fun and it's also lowkey insulting (personally, collectively, spiritually) that Cory doctorow is the patron saint of The Union Organizer Archetype
"AI solves a specific problem for propagandists: the most useful lies have no photographable evidence." Love this from @alicetiara.bsky.social on the slop aesthetic
Missed this back in Feb. Any reporting on it since then? I.e., how much are they spending, how has this changed zoning fights, etc
Really loved this from @nathantankus.bsky.social. AI cannot and will not be the great financial crisis, it's too insular and the big 4 are too cash-rich. Instead, the crisis is political: a handful of billionaires are building pyramids out of social wealth that could be so man…
The reason they want to automate education is the same reason why we know how to fix it: what makes for "good education" hasn't really changed in 100 years. Small classes, high contact. Lots of movement around the edges but this basic proposition is expensive and labor intensive!
Yeah this ain't crystal pepsi, it's here to stay.

not as short on ai as many of my fellow travelers but the people for whom it's a game-changer at work, for whom the data center protests are baffling, need to understand that for most people at most jobs, their experience of AI is "now you can use Greebler to prepare your decks in Fluft." At best.
Look it certainly helps to know how ai works rn in order to critique it but you gotta know that even well-informed people are just hearing "scabies 4.7 just lapped dormouse 9 in the grinching scale" and the people making purchasing decisions are hearing that and "...and it can replace 20 paralegals"
I'd like to see an llm sit bolt upright in the middle of the night and tap out 1000 words of the article you've been trying to figure out while your spouse tells you to go to bed or go downstairs
"10 years ago, the Houthis were scavenging Yemeni missiles and boats. Today? They're precision-guiding drones in the air and on the water to lock the greatest militaries in the world out of trade channels. That's the Claude difference." -- Anthropic's S-1
I don't know whether this was the motivation but CHI has developed a method to deal with the flood of ai-generated papers: you can't submit unless you review.
Ok fine I'll write the "where is ai in the labor process" article because no one else seems to want to do so
Serious q: What is the plan to make money off Google search if you're routing people to the AI overview first and foremost? Presumably the ads on search are worth less and the ads on destination sites are seen less. What am I missing here?
TIL Shaq owns a slice of Marylin Monroe's likeness and likes to post ai videos of the two of them getting married
The x-risk stuff seems to have defanged the AI industrial complex, both by one-upping the opposition in terms of scale and by taking as given the position, often framed by the opposition in terms of procedural justice, that values are embedded in design and thus engineers must make value calls
The reply guy doing DSA is a Russian Psy-op posts? Yep he's also posting ai pics of Trump giving fellatio. Never fails.
