AI: *fucks up in the same way that has been reported on dozens of time*
Average corporate MBA grad: "By Talos, this can't be happening."
we continue to see stories of AI being used for a task that people have been doing for decades, the AI fucking up and outing the use of the AI for said task, and the resulting backlash from the public over the use of the AI. And yet people keep thinking that it'll be different when THEY use it.

The new policy came weeks after an executive from its parent company, LexisNexis, accused the newsroom of liberal bias in its Trump admin coverage. My latest for @niemanlab.org

the supreme court: universal injunctions are ILLEGAL!!!! Courts have NO say in the law whatsoever!!!!
also the supreme court: oh, y'all don't wanna see those faggy books??? LOL neither do we, sis, INJUNCTION!!!!
everybody acting like the MAYOR of New York CITY has to be some kind of federally approved position is going to drive me actually insane :)
20.06.2025 15:14 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0it's genuinely exhausting that NYC mayor is treated like a national leader, like I get they're elected to lead the largest city in the country but it would be fucking cool if we could have a mayor who cares about the city and doesn't use the position as their campaign for higher office!!!!!!!

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.
Also this article basically boils down to βjobs the will require people to do extra work supervising an AI because it canβt actually be trusted to do a humanβs jobβ which is fucking WILD

"We're all going to be CEOs of a small army of AI agents," Brynjolfsson said. "We have to think, OK: What is it we really want to accomplish? What are the goals here? And we have to think a little bit more deeply about that than we have in the past."
gotta say, the ending of this NYT article about the β¨potential jobsβ¨ that the AI boom MIGHT create one day uuuuuhhhhhh doesn't inspire great confidence

He would have to pay the actors and all the other rights participants, he added -- 'but I can do that, and now I can resell it.'"
not shocking in the slightest that the studio heads foaming at the mouth over AI are this creatively bankrupt www.vulture.com/article/gene...
