Uh, that's most comics…making fun of dumb things people say/do. 😄

‘In two years, nobody will care’ if actors are AI or not, predicts La Haine director

In zero years, nobody will care what La Haine director thinks about AI.

LLMs could be a threat to more than our jobs.

Oh believe me, there's plenty I'm alarmed about…I'm just wondering why LLM-speak in corporate environments today would be much different than the corpospeak of past eras which affects a lot less of the general populace other than to serve as a fun target of derision & mockery (see 90s Dilbert).

P.S. Gen Z hates AI and might be much less susceptible to changing how they talk/think based on LLMs than older people, which is a fascinating inversion of every past technology shift. Folks who are pretending the AI rollout is following the same adoption curve as the web browser or the smartphone simply don't have the facts to back it up.

I would gently argue the impact of LLMs on large swaths of society has been incredibly overblown, but that's less a reflection on hype-fueled reporting on LLMs and more a reflection on how the impact of the Internet is often overblown. Time and again we see that software is eating a lot less of the world than we think. People are still highly influenced by other real people in real places. At least where I live, you could go to an event and hang out with people and listen to live music or play a sport or do [whatever] and not even realize LLMs exist at all.

Because nothing says "self-expression direct from the soul" like atomized sound waves coming from an algorithm.

We should stop calling this stuff music, art, whatever. It's simply arranged static.

As Deep as the Grave Filmmakers Defend Recreating Val Kilmer Using AI

Half the trailer looks like slop, not just "Val Kilmer"…I'm wondering if they did something weird in post, or if it's just bad filmmaking. I watched the whole trailer without sound on, and let's just say I wasn't impressed in the slightest.

Soon, we will all be called "boomers" because we use internet search and not slopbots

I don't know what that means. Virtually everyone who uses a "search engine" uses Google which now pushes AI Overviews hard. So whether it's Google or ChatGPT… 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm not just talking out of my hat here. I've been tracking this stuff, and here's yet another indication that (unlike the vast majority of other tech shifts/hype cycles), young people are NOT convinced the AI age is glorious. https://news.gallup.com/poll/708224/gen-adoption-steady-skepticism-climbs.aspx

The most AI-pilled people I know tend to be older, honestly.

Let's not "blame the kids" for problems they have no responsibility in creating.

If they're using AI services and big corporate social media all day, it's because that's the world they were sucked into by the Fuckerbergs of the world.

Rather than just complain about it, let's do our best to build & encourage tools, services, and marketing campaigns that appeal to Gen Z and help them discover they don't have to accept the slop being shoved in their face.

Microsoft isn't removing Copilot from Windows 11, it's just renaming it

No more Microslop.

Instead, they may be called Microplop.
