Now, I'm just a simple unfrozen caveman, but it seems to me that the competitive advantage of Deloitte et al used to be "we hire experienced, talent, brilliant people, if you pay us, you can have access to them." What I'm hearing here is, instead, "we have a subscription to ChatGPT." πŸ€”

you could give an infinite number of reactionaries an infinite number of typewriters over an infinite timeline and they would never invent a sesame street

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I'm old enough to remember when relativism was considered a problem of the left and conservative institutions believed in absolutes.

it's astounding that more companies and universities didn't learn from this, and instead funneled everyone down the "publish or perish" pipeline

and now, surprise surprise, cutting-edge science has fallen off a cliff, funding is on its dying gasps, and the world is crying in desperation
