AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP.
Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down.
"AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago.
We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

screaming "trans rights free Palestine fuck all recruiters tricking the young gambling is a blight and i think we will look back at it the same way we do cigarettes now" at the start of every stream to give everyone an ad-free experience
CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety.
It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

Frank Oz has said his backstory for Piggy is that she's grew up a farm girl with the toughness of truck driver but covers all that with practiced, deliberate, charm school femininity.

Aside from everything else, this is not what peer review is for. If you send me something that argues something that has already been shown to be demonstrably wrong for peer review, then you shouldn't be an editor. We don't have endless time to redebate terrible and discredited ideas.
Academia is a unique space where people can pursue controversial questions wherever they lead. If the work is pseudoscience (and, in my view, Cofnas' race science clearly is), academia has effective channels for response: public criticism and peer-review.

no one who anyone listens to is saying that though. What we are saying is that the industry is a fucking shell game propped up by funny money and people should go to prison for the crimes being committed to keep the hype train going.
apropos of nothing, here's a terrific feature about a meaningful, life-saving use of artificial intelligence, which I have been thinking about for over a year. it's just extremely stupid to say that AI has zero benefits even if you don't think it should be used in writing (which I don't)!
