Hey Tennessee, do you want more drag shows, cuz, that’s how you get more drag shows.
Can I draw your attention to another cockamamie idea from almost a hundred years ago: prohibition?
Do I have to hold your hand for the rest of this—do you want a link or something?
I can’t wait until this kind of BS is 100 years ago as well.
…and how long are we going to believe the bullshit story about “some bad actors”? It is not just some actors—it is most of the cast and crew, half the producers, and a selection of production company executives.
I wouldn’t go to catering alone, is all I’m saying…
Spent the day hanging with ChatGPT; what an amiable, well informed idiot.
What Do They Know
I guess we really shouldn’t be too surprised that main stream journalism kinda got it wrong with the new AI marketing storm. This happens all the time but it is easy to miss.
Whenever some domain of specialized knowledge rises up in the public consciousness, and when it is one you happen to be well acquainted with—not an expert necessarily but certainly more than proficient—when you then read an article or hear a news story on the domain, inevitably you have opportunity to say to yourself “Well, that’s kind of a half-truth, or Hmm, seems an over-simplification…”
That isn’t just you. We all do that all the time. I wouldn’t call that a carburetor. You shouldn’t add salt after it cools. IP addresses can’t work that way. M1 isn’t M2. And so on.
Oh, and the public bookkeeping (wait, three letter pairs? huh!) should demonstrate that the majority of compensation for the victims derives directly from the compensation for c-grade and above. Really, c’mon, we’re all grown-ups here.

This way, all the worry about what might happen in the future concerning these citizens' health is with the company who caused the problem, as it rightly should be, rather than with the victims, as it is now.
❡ Did you react without reading?
….yeah, yeah I did.
Especially satisfying is the passage starting at 3:48 or so. She holds a very long note over what I can only describe as intense humming. :-) Never fails to straighten my spine.
Hey, #chatbot dummies, here’s some free historical training material.
Check the record on Eliza, the Eliza effect, and J. Weizenbaum.
“I had not realized … that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people.” — J. Weizenbaum
I love that. He stopped, listened, gently suggested not being asshats, stopped, listened again, grinned, and walked off. Get flipped!
I want to emphasize in this post what I mentioned last time: not censoring myself out of economic, or other, anxieties. Anecdotally, in what were always described to me as “professional settings”, but turned out to just be “people in a room”, when I thought they were serious when they said “we want to hear what you think”, and I start with a phrase like “…well, your software kinda sucks…” I found myself plunged into a situation I thought I left in junior high school.
