It’s a new year, and as promised, I updated it. May this be the year the bubble pops and the reckoning comes for the Machine Worshippers.

"Once you acknowledge the truism that AI output is speech, almost all regulation of AI is ipso facto illegal. Government has no more legal right to regulate AI than it has to regulate the New York Times. Even if you’re a convinced doomer, you have to admit that the danger of existing LLMs is not 'clear and present,' much less 'imminent.'" betonit.ai/p/llms-and-sco…

@minhsmind @AlexHarron @Rahll Also, you AI Bros need to get the picture; AI Movies will not be a thing. You can’t copyright AI Slop, SCOTUS already said this. So you need to pivot. Trying to make tools that don’t create AI generated slop but help with some mundane tasks is probably your only hope.

@TheOneButlerian @AlexHarron @Rahll What do you think about Asteria/Moonvalley? There are several AI startups in this category that license data to train their AI models. Do you think that this is acceptable?

I wish anti-AI folks like @AlexHarron and @Rahll would get over the hate and anger they have about what’s happening long enough for us to have a calm and rational conversation about where we think the entertainment industry is going amidst an uncertain future with AI. Some Anti-AI folks like these are so hellbent on proving that AI is bad that it’s impossible to have a balanced conversation where both sides can talk honestly about what are the negatives and positives that are coming and how we can all prepare for it and even guide it. Alas…

There's this weird phenomenon in politics where younger generations just get forgotten about or ignored. Mostly by Republican party. Same generations. Voted Obama. Voted Trump. Republicans get into power then abandon the generation that put them there & go right back neocon slop.
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten

Trump won in 2024 because of men. They are abandoning him right now. He won men by 13 pt in 2024, but his net approval is now -7 pt with them. Men under 45: Trump won by 5 pt in 2024. Now he's 19 pt underwater with them. On cost living, he's now 30 pt underwater with men!

@vampiric_shirin @RemmeltE We know that’s what they’re obsessed with. What they don’t realize is there’s a growing contingent amongst non-tech bros, who are fully aware of their plans, and are growing in strength, and will eventually blindside these Techbros who thought we would go quietly into the night.

@elonmusk Add this: Convince the younger generations AI will take all their jobs and they are cooked, to give up their dreams, to not even try. Because why try if AI does everything, just die.

@Rahll @TheWrap Somebody is because this has blown up and seems to be the only thing shooting in town in LA. I wouldn’t knock it because people out here in the industry have been desperate for work and this seems to be the only thing going right now.

Inside the future of Hollywood 🎬 No trailers. No hierarchy. No wasted time. On this micro-drama set, everyone—from PA to lead—is working side by side, shooting entire storylines in a single day and turning around full series in just over a week. TheWrap's Tess Patton visited sets around L.A. to explore what this billion-dollar, phone-first industry actually looks like behind the scenes.

@AndyMasley If we cover all our fertile farmland with useless Data Centers, then we will be a net importer of food, we will no longer be able to grow our own food nor export it. We will become a weak dependent nation, and for what? 8 sec AI Slop Cat Videos. Americans need farmland for food.

Fine if people want to use their private property rights to reject extremely generous deals, but the way this is framed implies data centers are shifty for offering farmers crazy amounts of money. Older farmer goes on a crazy confused rant about food disappearing and they just air it without comment or clarification. Farmers should be understood as one industry among many and not treated like they're magical sages who can see things the rest of us can't.
Jack@jackunheard

🚨BREAKING: Kentucky family rejects a $26 million offer to turn their farmland into a data center, roughly 10x the area’s going rate. “If it’s my way, I’ll stay and hold and feed a nation. 26 million doesn’t mean anything.”

Ummm. Just think of the consequences here. $NVDA can’t make chips without $TSM ‘s infrastructure platform. So we are 11 days away from chip Armageddon unless $TSM can acquire its own oil tanker. Tik Tok

Taiwan, whose electrical grid relies on LNG for 40% of power generation, has an LNG emergency stockpile that will last around 11 days. Taiwan may be forced to ration power or reduce electricity to its industrial sector, per POLITICO
