"Any cultural change that pushes against the powerful interests and revenue potential of entrenched industry players - whether car manufacturers, Big Tobacco or Big Tech. Those players will push back but we continue to push ahead."

"We need to stop thinking of [AI] companies as merely businesses providing us products and services. These are new forms of empire that are consolidating a historic amount of economic and political power, terraforming our earth, reshaping our geopolitics"

What's wrong with writing with AI?
Alain deBotton says: "I don't just write to produce a certain numbers of words. I write in order to honor certain feelings, and AI can't know those feelings because it's not me.
It doesn't know what I want to say. And if I simply give my writing over to AI, it will crush my nascent sense about what it is I really want to say."

Alain de Botton has written ~17 books and runs the School of Life YouTube channel, which now has almost 10 million subscribers. And this is a rare interview for him. Some highlights: 1. A clear night sky is a challenge to everything we think we know. 2. If we really took on board what that night sky is telling us, we'd have to lie down and just question absolutely everything. 3. Writer's block is a conflict between shame and the desire for honesty. 4. The effect of mass media is to industrialize and commercialize our thinking, which leaves no room for the free thinker, the honest thinker, and the authentic thinker. 5. You've got to be attentive to your own sensations and thoughts. That's the real work of writing. 6. Every person is an incredible library of sensations but so often, particularly in the academic world, people think: “Let’s ignore ourselves as a source of data and find out what Cicero said, or what Socrates said, or what Michel Foucault said." 7. Writing can be revenge for the silenced person, which is why so many writers are meek in person but fierce on the page. 8. A work of art is the best thing you can do with your dislocation and distress, and sometimes, it’s even an alternative to losing your mind. 9. Emerson said: "In the minds of geniuses, we find our own neglected thoughts." 10. The thoughts of geniuses aren’t fundamentally different from others. It’s just that they’re able to put words to sensations we’ve long felt but couldn’t articulate. 11. Writing prompt: If there were no rules, if you couldn't fail, if no one was going to laugh, if you were going to be dead tomorrow, what would you actually do and say? How would you write, let's say? That's the thing you should write. I've shared the full conversation with Alain de Botton below. You can watch here or on YouTube, and listen on Apple or Spotify. You'll find the links in the reply tweets.

This might surprise younger people but in the ‘90s most of us knew how to read & were culturally literate. You could mention King Arthur or Citizen Kane and everyone knew what you meant. We were capable of writing essays. We had educational TV. We have lost so much, so quickly.

Penguin Random House sued OpenAI today for alleged copyright infringement.
They say ChatGPT generated text and images “virtually indistinguishable from” one of their children’s books.
The side by side comparison is quite something

It's has been tested and shown now that "AI" is less than 1% - in fact less than 0.4% - on its way towards Human Level Intelligence (AGI).
Please share to help stop the AI industry hype and the lies that are damaging our societies.

Shout it from the rooftops!!! Research is thinking. Outlining is thinking. Writing is thinking. Any portion of that done by AI is less thinking done by you.

Literacy. If the oligarchs have their way, the children of the very rich will have human teachers, physical textbooks, handwritten assignments, phoneless schools. Everyone else will have chromebooks, malfunctioning AI tutors and screen addiction.

This website shows you how much money is being siphoned off from human artists by AI slop on Spotify.
Over $2.5 million lost by real people - and that's just from 50 AI ‘artists’.
Slop dilutes royalties. A major reason AI training on copyrighted work should not be considered fair use.
