This post is old and my thinking has matured since then, but this is allegedly an ethnographic artefact of humour being used to communicate the "reasonable person" position. Or, funny dialogue teasmith.au/p/you-just-dont-…

You just don't understand how AI works, bro

It's been a long couple of years.

Call it the James Lindsay maneuveur: going so anti-woke/anti-socialist classical liberal you end up inadvertently parroting far right modes of reasoning and talking points before finally discovering they've become a big part of your audience.

There is something grimly funny in pondering how the libertarian movement became a breeding ground for fascsim before deciding at least part of the reason is it must have been contaminated by cultural Marxism and critical theory...

I gotta say I'm getting mighty tired of good people carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders whilst the worst, most selfish and cruel people are propped up.

In her own way, she's communicating some of what many of us feel about the damage AI is doing to the arts, design and communication. For some context - 3/4 of the way through she tells us that her partner lost his job to AI. She's been mobbed & mocked by the pro-AI people.

Seriously, it's astonishing how we are infantilised when it suits, and then held responsible for not having specialised knowledge on niche topics simultaneously. WHICH IS IT, ATO CHATBOT WITH A CUTE NAME AM I TODDLER OR AM I ACCOUNTANT

In case you think you're not Woke enough, I'll have you know that there are still lawyers who draft real estate contracts with "he" and "his" and remain employed. Not sure if this gives comfort or makes you boil with rage. Toodles

It has taken 9 months for the Tax Office to deal with a single complaint, in which they have now requested documents I have been offering 9 months. And, because they cancelled my ABN and only business can submit electronically, it is via post. They're breaking me. lol

It has of course taken 9 months with about 7 different people calling to tell me it has escalated. I actually howled laughing on the phone when she said I could post it. I mean it's not like tax affairs affect legal admission or anything, no biggie

and it's not like people who are more vulnerable than me may receive erroneous and excessive demand notices for disputed debts and hurt themselves because they can't fix it. Seems the ATO have taken all the wrong lessons from Robodebt...

I have a postgraduate education in political science and a law degree I have no opinion on the election, other than that the stupidest rubes on this platform will swallow any old bollocks from fascists have some self respect, it's embarrassing.

The latest Truth Social post from the president of the United States.
Screenshot of a very long Truth Social post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), shrunk into a thin strip in the center of a gray card. The text reads: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Let’s talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher. He’s got a Low Rated Show on equally Low Rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a Network of Quality and Excitement — But that’s all gone. It’s not “HOT” anymore! Maher’s friend and business associate, Chuck LaBella, was also a friend of mine, worked on The Top Hit Show, The Apprentice, as a “gofer” and, because of the success of that show, Number One and Top Rated on many weeks, with the Finale’ being among the Top Shows of the Year, he was automatically and quickly brought up through the Ranks of NBC, along with everyone else associated with that Historic “Happening.” The Success of the Apprentice was so great that everyone partook — It built many careers, and that is a wonderful thing.
