AI companies are telling workers they can save 50% of their day, and telling businesses they can save 50% of their labor costs.
Only one of those things can be true, and you know which one it will be.

@seegerism You just have to sift through the filler until you get to Either Share Your Heroin Or Get The Fuck Out Of My House, I’m Not Sorry I Tried To Fuck Your Sister, or 75 versions of I Will Literally Kill Myself If You Don’t Have Sex With Me cause those are some bangers

@JiraViolet @NOTUSreports TMZ staff literally physically cheered about a man's death. Not somewhere I want to receive my news from.
English
NEW: TMZ has decided to up their presence in the political space — they’ve even added a Hill team.
“Our DC presence will be sometimes fun, sometimes intensely serious,” Harvey Levin told @NOTUSreports
Comes as TMZ blasts lawmakers for leaving D.C.

The opening ten minutes that's just shrieking Mink Stole vibrating with hysterical rage in the middle of a domestic female melodrama parody...probably the funniest thing Waters ever did
Criterion Collection@Criterion
DESPERATE LIVING (1977) • Entering the Criterion Collection in June! Following the unrepentant outrageousness of PINK FLAMINGOS and FEMALE TROUBLE, director John Waters brought his notorious trash trilogy to a fittingly twisted close with this antifascist fairy tale.

@offbeatorbit For years I’ve been saying this and my peers hate me for it! It’s a fine song, but also every other song on Hot Fuss OR Day and Age is better, and Mr Brightside sucks up all the Killers oxygen
English
Mr Brightside overrated as hell. Justice for the rest of Hot Fuss omg im sick of hearing this song at the club. Normie shit!!!

@St_Rev Yes, the “author” “thinks” that. The human author, who didn’t just ask chatgpt to write the results blurb without bothering to check whether the example made any sense.
English
The author *thinks* the correct sentence is "As well, ask men what they think of stone." The author is misreading the sentence, which has an elided 'May' at the beginning.
Christopher Hooks@cd_hooks
the author of the NYT ai writing quiz does not seem to know writing either. What is the punctuation they think is missing here? really bleak
English
@iky_fwjett Anything flesh-toned is racialized, yellow/peach/orange are uncanny valley, green says either plant or decay, blue is available but often marketed towards men, purple+magenta look good at any light level and with any skin tone

Sources tell me Kristi Noem still has a job.
Please god

@polypocketknife Gus/Madrigal have no reason to give Walt that much information. He’s just a guy cooking meth. Why would the massive, legitimate corporation behind the scenes be like “oh by the way we’re the ones behind the scenes” to some guy they don’t know
English
one thing i don’t get about breaking bad is why (from a watsonian view) walt buys the car wash to launder his money instead of being on the books with madrigal electromotive like mike—surely this multinational conglomerate has a legitimate position for a chemist in some industry?
English
One time a band stayed with me & I told them the night before that I’d be happy to show them some good breakfast places and the next morning the guy accidentally texted me & said “this mfer seems obsessed with breakfast” & then they left without talking to me

@TheWapplehouse There was a time when I was truly moved by:
“buy a yacht with a flag saying ‘chillin the most’
And rock that bitch up and down the coast”
but even as a 16yo chud I felt his subsequent threat to rape the wife of any cop interfering in his prostitution operation was a bit much
English
Okay, he’s had a rough couple weeks but let’s go around the room and tell everyone your ACTUAL favorite Kid Rock song. Mine is probably Picture featuring Sheryl Crow or the anti-racist anthem “Black Chick, White Guy”

@TheJudeBell @LukeBarnett Everything else here aside, have you ever talked to an oil painter about acrylic painters?
English
@LukeBarnett "actual short film" I'm so tired of this endless us vs them. Film is art. Since when do artists attack each other over medium choices. Oil vs acrylic painters don't fight, we need to do better.
English
Hear me out. This exact same idea but you screen actual short films. First one’s on me:

What if I told you I make normal fucking lamps?
@ratlimit@ratlimit
I want to buy a normal fucking lamp. Is that too much to ask? “A rechargeable lamp?”—Actually, my house has a consistent supply of electricity. “Built-in LEDs?”—No, I would like to change the bulb when it goes out. “USB charging ports?”—No, I do not manage a Holiday Inn Express.

@bitcoinbender81 @freganmitts What % of the total plumbers and electricians in the world are working on large, complex new builds? Will the existing programs for planning such projects see more than marginal improvements from LLMs? Will/should John Doe replace his own cooked 50A breaker with GPT guidance?
English
@BetterDeadnRed @freganmitts I disagree that it isn't earth shattering. Coding is problem solving. If you can master turning ideas into code you can do the same physically and problem solve in the real world. It leads itself to many other areas, electrics, plumbing, medicine and so on.
English
The point is about what “intelligent” means. People who reject the intelligence of LLMs generally understand “intelligence” to be a particular way of understanding and going about in the world, *essentially grounded* in the kind of life-form something is. Those who accept (1/4)
Jesse Singal@jessesingal
I genuinely don't know what to make of people who claim that current LLMs aren't "intelligent" unless the point is a very trite one about consciousness or the absence of wetware. It's this weird reflexive incuriosity about one of humanity's strangest and most fraught inventions.
English
@bitcoinbender81 @freganmitts It’s actually extremely unsurprising that the standout skill of LLMs is programming. A complex piece of written code that can solve complex problems in written code is a marvelous feat, but it is not as earth-shattering for people who don’t write code as those who do think it is
English
@freganmitts It is not important. As a dev I can describe a problem to an LLM and it can code the solution, and this includes complex problems requiring multiple steps and logical paths. We can debate whether that is "intelligence" or not but if it can do my job why does the definition matter
English
@milkkarten The part where he was like “nahhhh don’t even bother telling your kids to learn information, or go to college, knowing how to do that stuff is gonna be useless trust me”
English
the “something big is coming” article is just one big ad for ai, where the only solution to the problem is the problem. fear is a powerful marketing tactic.
English
@pagan_hoetry “Three by Perec” and “A Story of the Sixties and A Man Asleep” by Georges Perec are both fabulous, as well as “Species of Spaces and Other Pieces” which is non-fiction essays but also absolutely delightful
