  • Another lament about the tech industry has come to my attention, as Ky Decker asks themselves "Do I belong in tech anymore?"

    Pretty solid piece all around, recommend checking it out

  • Don’t do drugs, kids. You might end up like these guys.

    A more effective anti-drug PSA than anything DARE ever tried.

  • The optics is that his actions would paint EA in a bad light.

    I think SBF's Scamfest Spectacular did a good enough job of that already :P

    HN is more focused on the idea that Altman and co. are fomenting class hatred and the attack is more akin to Luigi Mangione’s attack on a health insurance CEO.

    Altman and co's antics have repeatedly shafted the working class to billionaires' direct benefit, so I'll give the orange site that on the "fomenting class hatred" part. Thinking his actions are any way related to Luigi Mangione nailing the healthcare billionaire's fucking wild, though

  • On the one hand, Yud's vision of AI doomsday is specifically "AI turns sentient/superintelligent and kills us all because reasons", not "Humanity wipes itself out because they trusted lying machines".

    On the other hand, the absence of sentience/superintelligence hasn't stopped AI from causing untold damage anyways, as the past two to three years can attest.

  • DeviantArt decided to make an "AI-powered" "video creator" (roughly a day before Sora got shitcanned), because its not like dA can make things worse by doubling-down on that shit. Special highlight goes to the opening of that announcement, which asks:

    What if your art could (quite literally) move?

    Have these people ever heard of animation
