Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt

Ever wondered what would happen if someone copied my work on (generative) AI in the games industry, ignored all the criticism, brushed over technical challenges, deleted the bit about legal and ethics, and smeared it in corporate bleh?

This is what you'd get.

Nearly fell asleep reading it.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

A little offended Grammarly didn't make a sloppelganger of me

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

"You preferred human writing. You're either sharply attuned to the qualities that make for great writing, or a lucky guesser. Maybe you also noticed that human writing often includes som clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's 'Blood Meridian,' caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.' A.I. used to make mistakes like these. But today's systems are much more fluid than their predecessors—so fluid, in fact, that finding grammatical errors or nonstandard syntax is often a hint that you're looking at a human's prose, not a machine's."

i genuinely hate this guy

I once said that the 1993 movie is a movie that was unstuck from time. It was made for older millenials to enjoy when they were older, but it could only have been made before its time.

Prom Week was released ~14 years ago, and is a more compelling methodology for building a good interactive experience with than what LLMs can do.

I'm going to say low -- I think that even with the inaccuracy and drift an Inertial Navigation System is probably going to beat astrolabe in terms of accuracy.

The chatbot creeps have mindfreaked themselves into a sort of irrecoverable epistemic disease where the distinction between words and reality is inconvenient for their self-conception so they've completely excised it. Literally cannot distinguish between reading about something and it happening.

AI research:

Researcher: Claude, please eat ten hamburgers.

Claude: Done! I have eaten ten hamburgers. The first two were delicious, but after that I began to experience bloating and the meat sweats.

Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

This is bad, and part of what makes it so bad is that this is clearly pulling from *genre* understandings of reality, which the statistical linguistic machine seemingly cannot distinguish from other text included in the training data. Truly an ideology machine where every episode of CSI is true.

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.

What stage of the apocalypse is this?

this sucks. no patience for the people laughing at it, calling it concord 2.0, etc. if 2 million people pick up a game, and you have to shutter it and lay everyone off, it doesn't matter if the game is good or bad. it's a symptom of a much bigger and deeper problem.

the current outrage machine thats gripped the internet wont allow it but in a just world the ire would directed entirely at the ppl who decided an mp game with a single trailer would be the biggest game in the world in 2 weeks & if not the remaining skeleton crew would get it done in 2 months

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

An incredible investigation. This isn't just happening to gaming sites, either - St. Louis' local alt newspaper The Riverfront Times was bought and hollowed out in the same way, and now shows ai, onlyfans, and crypto garbage.

This is in 2 hours!

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

I love “cozy games” on an individual level but “cozy” used to include replaying resident evil 2 for the 5th time

now as a genre it’s starting to feel like it is locking people into aesthetic tradwife boot camp

one good thing about being antiwar is you will never be wrong. one bad thing about being antiwar is no one who matters will ever listen to you
