3·3 months agoThat OpenAI haven’t recalled their product after it’s been involved in several violent deaths, that it would even be absurd to suggest they should recall it, really highlights how corrupt and disgusting the industry and the whole structure propping it up are.

12·3 months agoYes dude, that’s the main thing you should be concerned about of course. AI tools couldn’t possibly be bad in and of themselves, it has to be human tampering. You’ve always been very clear about that part.

9·3 months agoThe old chestnut that really these days it’s women who hold all the power is as old as times. I saw an instance in Perrault’s introduction to the tale of Griselidis (1691) and I’m sure you can go much further back. Not sure why we ever even bothered with voting rights, reproductive freedom, or personhood.

8·3 months agoUgh what is it with misogynists and compulsively writing out this nonsense again and again? Just want to punch him on the nose. Make it stop.
I think that §2 (“appearance-based sexual attraction”) will be the part that’s more centrally relevant for cis men (and most trans women)

5·3 months agoGod I looked into the article this is meant to illustrate, and I have feelings. The idea this mysterious, evocative short story is something to be solved, and that he’s somehow cracked the code. And it must be precisely about Dracula. Don’t ask yourself why the name comes from Proust, and why the style and themes are so heavily proustian. Proust is not genre literature, it isn’t in communication with the literature of ideas, which means it is of no value. Gene Wolfe is genre literature, so the story must be about vampires, and nothing else. Any literary depth is mere distraction, a ruse meant to mislead you and have you fail the test. Can’t wait for the rationalist Pale Fire remake!!!

5·3 months agoI’m sorry, I believe that there are legitimate artistic uses of neural networks (and they’re never about cutting budget), but this is just fascist aesthetics repurposed to serve anti-Trump messaging. Do not like.
