I think about this a lot.
It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.
This is not a joke.
We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
Is the implication here that Jolyon Maugham QC has gigantic tits just as a result of standing near Polanski?
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the gazebo...
Another slice of wine, darling?
The parents in the study were interested in the toy's potential to teach language and communication skills. However, their children frequently struggled to converse with it. Gabbo didn't hear their interruptions, talked over them, could not differentiate between child and adult voices and responded awkwardly to declarations of affection. When one five-year-old said, "I love you," to the toy, it replied: "As a friendly reminder, please ensure interactions adhere to the guidelines provided. Let me know how you would like to proceed."
This is so tragic it's actually incredibly funny
Oh, I'm sure it was. It's stupid bullshit.
If I was buying intelligence as a utility, I wouldn't be buying it from him.
Pretty sure he was.
Honestly astonishing that it got built. Was it a case of Emperor's New Clothes, no one wanting to admit that it looked like a turd to them?
Great track but it will forever remind me of Alan Partridge.

Literal psychopaths.
Microsoft announces that next XBox will play both XBox games and that fake game where the king keeps fucking up
Aus is Global North I think, as kinda absurd as that is.
I've worn wedding dresses on two occasions now and both times I've looked great in them. How can this be?
How much is the filter?
Parts of the site are stored and reproduced presumably without explicit permission.
Looking at your terms of service, I'd argue that AI scraping actually violates them on several points.
It is a commercial use.
Material will likely be modified.
Graphics will likely be used separately from accompanying text.
Citation will likely not be consistently applied.
That's fair. Personally I'm anti-AI to the extent that I'd want to stop them from taking anything at all, but then I'm not operating a public archive. :p
One of those 'What the fuck am I doing here?' days.
I can imagine. :/ What's your stance on AI scraping? Do you consider it a legitimate use?
I guess you could do it with the options as sub-posts and then continue on from whichever one gets the most likes? Clunkier though.
Is it possible to block them entirely?
It's worrying how many people treat it as some kind of all-purpose guide to life. It makes me wonder whether they're either lying about having read it or are total psychopaths who think of their colleagues and peers as functionally identical to warlords from 2500 years ago...
It's B isn't it.
Just finished Two Million by Alex Fear and really enjoyed it! Great combination of funny and touching. And gay ofc. #booksky
It's a tragedy that we didn't end up with one of these. Even the winning entry (to the original design, not the watered down Eiffel copycat) would have been amazing to have.
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
This is how we fight AI. 'Steal' the shit out of it when anyone tries to make money from it. Someone uploads an AI generated book to Amazon, reupload it with a $0 price tag and a disclaimer saying 'This book was generated by AI and cannot be held to any standard of factuality or quality.'
