I wrote a half thought out rant about how what's interesting about AI art is that it allows people to curate and display their taste, and whether it's "really art" or "really creative" is less interesting blog.andymasley.com/p/ai-art-as-...

Recent commentary

The AI labs really need to improve their image. They could form some sort of political pac, maybe call it the "AIPAC." I'm sure it'd be really popular

Wow this farmer has a message for AI companies who want to buy his land

My big main objection to how people talk about chatbots is they often imply the majority of people are so tasteless and stupid that they need to be protected from their own use of a talking computer

Had two separate people I knew from college and hadn't talked to in a while mention that AI had helped them find a life changing medical diagnosis breakthrough, it was a little wild and I wasn't fishing for that at all.

I've had a very nice back-and-forth email exchange with Shaolei Ren, who provided the original "AI uses a bottle of water per prompt" estimate with the Washington Post. (1/5)

TIL that everyone calling me a paid shill for defending AI water use is actually secretly funded by effective altruists. Nice try EAs but I'm onto you

There's a funny inconsistency in what people believe about how much energy AI uses: "AI uses 10x as much energy as a Google search" ✅ "10 Google searches use as much energy as a few seconds of Netflix" ✅ "AI prompts use as much energy as a few seconds of Netflix" ❌ Must be a lie, must be a shill

Gonna plant a flag that I believe AI will be the main political issue in the 2028 race

It's definitely looking like an AI bubble (a bubble of AI agents expanding at near light speed in all directions from the dyson swarm formerly known as Earth)

To be clear I’m very happy we have an AI safety pope
