ChatGPT Is Still a Bullshit Machine CEO Sam Altman says it's like having a superpower, but GPT-5 struggles with basic questions.

What does AI know about a ‘glow-up’? Growing numbers of people are turning to ChatGPT for advice on how to get hotter – but these AI beauty recommendations are reflecting the rot that has always existed within the industry

Things I said re: genAI (and AGI "race") uncritical hype: “It’s a misrepresentation that is dangerous and dishonest, like the Wizard of Oz with the men behind the curtains.” www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/artic...

A still from the film Everything Everywhere All At once. It is a smooth grey rock sitting on top of what looks like a cliff. The cliff is made of grit and sand. There are two googly eyes on the rock. THE ROCK LOOKS SAD.

All worried about how easy it is for GenAI to influence people because it's able to statistically sound like a conversational partner, meanwhile look at this rock YOU ARE HARD-WIRED TO THINK THIS ROCK IS ALIVE AND FEEL SORRY FOR THE SAD ROCK. POOR SAD ROCK.

The biological transhumanism and digital eugenics promoted by some of the most powerful people in Silicon Valley amounts to pro-extinctionism, @xriskology.bsky.social‬ writes. www.techpolicy.press/digital-euge...

When I see this, I wonder what happens when it gets the translation wrong — potentially in an offensive way — and the speaker doesn’t know, but also how it will get people to change their speech patterns to be legible to the automated system, as we know people already do with voice assistants.

What if LLM hallucinations are an inherent feature of their training material, cultural texts? Joe Dumit, @ucdavis.bsky.social and I scratch the surface in letter to editor @nature.com, www.nature.com/articles/d41..., @tedunderwood.me

I believe that generative AI may be the biggest dunce mask-off moment ever. These things do not make sense! How does using AI for coding lead to AGI? How does *generative AI* lead to AGI? Hell why don't we start simple: what is AGI in this context?

Eine simple Strichmännchen-Zeichnung: Links steht eine Figur mit beiden Händen an den Kopf gefasst, die laut “Aaaaaaaah!!!” schreit. Ein Zickzack-Blitz symbolisiert den Schrei. Rechts stehen zwei andere Strichmännchen. Das eine sagt zum anderen: “Er spricht aus, was viele denken.” Die Zeichnung ist mit “@kriegundfreitag” signiert.

Hier eine erste Analyse der Situation.

“Platform Realism”. AI Image Synthesis and the Rise of Generic Visu... In May 2023, artist Bjoern Karmann introduced a gadget called Paragraphica, a lensless “camera” based on AI text-to-image synthesis (fig. 1). For Karmann, Paragraphica gives us a glimpse into how g...

Finally online: My essay on #PlatformRealism for #Transbordeur. There couldn't be a more appropriate day to publish it, even though when I wrote it last year I couldn't have imagined the extent to which the aesthetics of AI slop would become the basis of a new #MemeFascism

GenAI is digital plastic. All of our regret now at filling the ocean with plastics, and our bodies with microplastics, we are now doing by flooding our media and education with genAI plastic.

“I’m Afraid We Are Automating This Work Without Really Understanding It” AI is often touted as a way to handle busy work to free people up for tasks that matter. But in the race to add automation to pretty much every job, it’s rare that people question what, exactly, peopl...

"Right now, our unregulated environment means that AI is being sold as an appropriate tool for automating teachers ... and a host of other connective jobs. When we are inventing a new hammer, we need to remind ourselves that not everything is a nail." hbr.org/2025/02/im-a...

Mel Bochner’s wall drawing Language Is Not Transparent (1970)

Mel Bochner, a grad school mentor, exposed the cracks between words and reality in ways that offer a lesson for AI. His 1970 dictum "Language Is Not Transparent" feels prophetic now that we use black boxes to churn out news, legal documents, and medical advice blog.still-water.net/mel-bochner-...

You know the whole "the internet never forgets" thing? It's really more like "people on the internet archive stuff, especially if spite is involved" so be the weird little person with a cache of all the things you care about from the internet, whether spite is involved or not. Maintain the receipts!
