We should be grateful for stuff like this, as it so clearly underlines that a main function of generative AI, apart from attempting to automate creative labor, is to enable self-promotional grifting

When I plan a photoshoot, I look at character poses from the source material and scout for a location that matches. Then at the shoot, I stand in different spots, observe, and tweak poses. I DON'T let an AI service finish the whole thing A-Z for me. That's MY labor. MY joy.

Looks like that Sora balloon guy video that we were lead to believe was fully AI generated was indeed full of hot air. Lots of post work, no consistency between renders, they couldn't even adhere to a narrative, they had to work with what Sora spat out. fxguide.com/fxfeatured/act…

@bcmerchant Well, the bank I contract out for has basically done it already.... let me tell you what the experience was like. I called, about a problem with my app. The ai wouldn't let me proceed without a code from the app.... And I yelled at the thing for 2 hours before I got someone.
There is a reason I am still on this cursed website
This is definitely the kind of thing businesses are eager to use AI to do, and I would simply ask how much people currently like call centers, which are heavily automated already and make it nearly impossible to reach a human, and whether they want that to be even more the case

Seattle is so poorly served by its leaders.
“Instead of systems that are democratically and ethically constructed, built to serve humans and not just managers, … systems that could be very useful in some less-than earth-shattering ways, we get the smoke and mirrors. Again.” — @bcmerchant bloodinthemachine.com/p/ai-really-is…
What is the threshold at which the line "Hamas sleeper cells and rank antisemitism have suddenly infiltrated our colleges" becomes untenable and inevitably gives way to "young people oppose the ongoing murder of tens of thousands of innocents"? Protests at 10 campuses? 20? 50?
I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.

@bcmerchant “At the same time, it’s clearly in the interests of users that these products contain reliable sources” always a tell when context specific roles like “reader” are so comfortably reduced to “user”
@bcmerchant At the same time they all still have Facebook and Google spyware coded into every nook and cranny of their own proprietary websites 😵💫
@bcmerchant Media companies (and marketers) have remarkably short institutional memories. Me, circa 2015: digitalcontentnext.org/blog/2015/03/3…

@bcmerchant @PhillieDrone Boy I hope they get the pants sued off them.
@bcmerchant Getting HUGE big mountain vibes from this
@bcmerchant I've started reporting posts like that as spam. Every generative "AI" that we know what it's based on has illegally scraped people's copyrighted works without consent, and have no model to make money. Scams all the way down
Why would OpenAI choose to license anything at all if they truly believe everything is fair game? It's because they know they're violating copyright law and striking deals is how they plan to skirt litigation. ft.com/content/333287…
At risk of being accused of being a caricature of myself: it kind of seems like things are going really really badly at the moment.
@bcmerchant People said they could automate the C-Suite easily. I hope it works well for them. 😅
@sheeprilyn Been unemployed since February and I can't get another job despite being an obviously skilled software engineer. Feels like the job market is horrendous. Running out of money 🙃
@sheeprilyn I lost job in Feb 22 (start of war). I'm still in bas mentally condition, not good for working on portfolio. I'm living on small freelance cause situation in my country gamedev almost totally crashed So I lost any hope get my dream job in gamedev + I not have good networking
@sheeprilyn Got laid off in late July I believe. I had a small three month contract but other than that - pretty much nothing (not games)
Can I ask anyone who has been unemployed how long they’ve been out of work? For me, up until this past March it had been 10 months out of animation work.
Whoaaaaaa I have no words. You guys have to see the replies. Heartbreaking
people are mad that she entered a half marathon without paying. STOP GATEKEEPING MARATHONS. Don't gaslight us into thinking you need to "train" or "register" to run around the streets. This is American freedom. If you don't like it, leave
I just ran 13.1 miles for the Brooklyn half marathon at a 7.43 minute pace. I didn’t walk at all. I cried during a lot of it. I went to bed at 10 PM. I didn’t sign up for this race. I just asked the security where it started and where it ended and jumped in. No one watched me…
My office was right by the encampment, and I cannot understand how it interferes with exams. It’s that little red circle. Not a single notable the protest in the history of modern protest would meet the requirements of “acceptable” protest from many past free speech advocates.
One cannot disrupt the ability of one's fellow students to take exams or graduate with impunity. It's common courtesy and common sense. Such imposition of costs on one's fellows is not free expression.
Want to know how Uber assigns a driver a passenger, and vice versa?? Think it’s because you are the closest? Nope. Not about efficiency. This is what makes algorithmic wage discrimination so so so insidious, immoral, and terrifyingly dystopian.
The work assignment algorithms at Uber and others appear to be far more more intrusive of worker privacy than I had ever imagined.
I want to be very clear that any time you read something with my name that makes you go "wait what" and it's happening in Seattle, you're dealing with bizarro Sara Nelson
Sara Nelson agrees that we should call out the National Guard to address crime in Seattle.
