Ah yes, the Tories who are "tired of experts", Sunak who is confused by the concept of contactless payments, Jacob Reese Mogg who acts and dresses like a character in a Charles Dickens novel. Definitely the people who should be at the cutting edge of global AI guidelines.

me in 2010: wow 2023 will be so futuristic me in 2023:

Incredible headline, 10/10, no notes.

“We are living through the end of the useful internet. The future is informed discussion behind locked doors…with the public-facing web increasingly filled with detritus generated by LLMs, bearing only a stylistic resemblance to useful information.” defector.com/the-last-page-…

Again, RIP to them people. But this will forever crack me me up.

The fact that everyone keeps referring to LLM as "AI" truly is giving every politician and journalist brain worms. It's fancy predictive text. Why not cut out the middleman and just tell people self-diagnose by looking up their symptoms on WebMD.

Everything is "secret code" when you fire all the people who were familiar with the code.

Instead of bringing scientists on podcasts, how about we force podcasters to prove they can do basic science? Do you know what “double-blind” means, my dude? Can you define p-value, bro? Without googling it, give me the basics of polymerization. Can’t do it? You lose.

Somebody simply has to write the ultimate catch-all essay on disruptive, libertarian, private-sector-touting entrepreneurs simply begging and demanding for state intervention at the end of their journeys. (This is the Titan sub company's adviser.)

Make a list circa mid-80s: Morrisey, Lydon, Rick Astley. Kinda nuts who turned out the best by a mile.

no it doesn't

American news media is unrelentingly bleak, but this is some next level shit. The NYT op ed section casually pointing out that you could solve your student debt problem by being dead. Great life hack. Solves a lot of other problems too.

irony is dead

Imagine getting paid millions of dollars and your main job is to post shit like this. And also, no, it won't.

Over on bluecheck twitter it's still considered an incisive observation that the news changes from day to day

it's extremely dope that we automated creative expression before we automated cleaning toilets and roofing and road work and stuff. good order to do it in i reckon

ChatGPT is getting scary good… 😬
