if you have a library of 10,000 precious books containing thousands of years of human knowledge, and that library burns down, it's a tragedy. and it's the **exact same effect** if, instead of burning them, you mix those 10,000 books into a sea of 1,000,000,000 books that look exactly like them but contain fabricated content with no traceable record of who created them or why.

this is what's at risk with LLM-generated content, and we badly need some kind of guidelines and a project to archive original, human-produced knowledge before it's too late and it becomes impossible to extract it from an ocean of random language.

people try to draw comparisons to the printing press or whatever, but the **scale** of what computers are able to produce is insane. millions of GPUs, each one capable of producing millions of words of language per day given a steady supply of electricity. i'll be shocked if internet search is usable at all within 18 months.

transphobia endangers **all** women. and that is partially the point: the fascists want to go back to a world where women are required to wear skirts and grow their hair long, and where men are banned from wearing nail polish and skirts.

@rabc it's fucking crazy. Nancy Pelosi is 85!! why isn't she off enjoying her filthy lucre somewhere??

lmao Gerry Connolly **fucking died** https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/democratic-rep-gerry-connolly-dies-75/story?id=122026406

yeah I agree. I hate this. https://vitonsky.net/blog/2025/05/17/language-detection/

27 people died because of National Weather Service cuts. https://www.mesoscalenews.com/p/tornado-warnings-delayed-because

fuck this shit. don't buy these glasses, and don't you dare fucking try to talk to me or come into my house wearing them. https://www.404media.co/well-well-well-meta-to-add-facial-recognition-to-glasses-after-all/

i'm interested in one-way veils coming back as a hot new fashion accessory. or preferably, i'm interested in the EU banning facial recognition technology in wearable cameras.

again i say: fuck. this. shit.

also, i love that Joe is absolutely putting the Meta spokesgoon on blast throughout the piece. fuck these assholes, they shouldn't be able to get away with lying without paying a price. people who work for Meta are psychopaths.

here's what Dave Arnold was doing before he became the Public Affairs Director for Meta. psychopath. guy has zero humanity, and he's been rewarded **handsomely** for it.

and guess who he was comms director for in Congress? you'll never guess, so i'll tell you: Anthony Weiner. 👏👏👏👏

it's been interesting seeing all the worst people in the world transcend ideology and come together to form a kind of Horrible Voltron.

"AI is just like the early web!" ok but did Netscape ever do this https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/ai-spiritual-delusions-destroying-human-relationships-1235330175/

you should cancel Duolingo, not out of solidarity or whatever, but because they have replaced their **linguists and writers** with AI. I was a linguist. machine translation is very good, but it makes **ridiculous** mistakes, and as a language learner, you will not be able to spot them. this is 🚩🚩🚩🚩 https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-ai-jobs-crisis-is-here-now

seems like kind of a problem for the whole "AI changes everything" narrative!! https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/29/generative_ai_no_effect_jobs_wages/

ChatGPT was released in November 2022. two years later, all the amazing social transformations are still two years away. "just give us another trillion dollars bro, i promise bro, i will code God and he will work in your human resources department bro, please bro."

@inthehands lol I'm over here learning relational databases like some kind of dinosaur 😅 what am I thinking.
