Hello! @npub1sdg…spj0 and I would like to turn this into a DO NOT REPLY card. We would tweak the copy and you can have approval. Would that be okay, and if so, attrib/non-attrib?

Science fiction is all about a Great Forgetting age where records are lost etc and sometimes it's natural disaster and sometimes it's revolutionary action but in our world it's apparently for tax write-offs

this is totally a thing “mastodon” should steal, but that depends on “mastodon” being interested in and valuing the problems solved by the thing:

there’s a street car that's up for sale here in PDX and they're very insistent that it runs Windows and “communication is ethernet based" when what they should've done is say:
* 28 metric ton Windows mobile computer for sale

ok but if AI-generated/LLM meeting summaries were _actually good_ wouldn't they point out that the meeting:
* had no clear agenda
* nothing was decided
* nothing was assigned
* nobody was prepared
etc etc?

Great British Bake-Off but you have to bake a website and everyone's in the room together plus it is all nice and jovial like Bake-Off, and one of the rounds is doing it on late 90s/early 00s era hradware

I don't think there's been a better illustration of how creatively bankrupt generative AI leaders are.
Your magic do-anything creative machine doesn't mean shit if you can't imagine bringing anything into being other than "make it like that film I like"

2024-05-21 02:48:16

Generative AI will allow so many people to be creative, like designing your product to be just like a character from someone else's film!

are there any mainstream institutional* news sources that have progressed even slightly from by default believing and reprinting without question everything police spokespeople say or put out?**

** yeah this is like a 99% rhetorical question but I live in hope

Did you know the DO NOT REPLY stickers are here?
A set of 15 for $35 includes this DO NOT MANSPLAIN BACK TO ME WHAT I AM AN EXPERT IN. Maybe perfect for your laptop?
10% of proceeds go to Trans Lifeline, and they're proudly printed at union print shop Brick City Printing.
We are VERY SORRY that we don't ship internationally yet. We plan to do international orders once we've figured out a way for them to make sense and not stupidly expensive.

Wait, hang on. The rumors of Apple "partnering with Google" to put AI in iPhones... isn't that likely to look like default search placement?

A bunch of other people must have already thought this, right?
