Thought for the day (riffing off discourse elsewhere on BSky):
AI isn't real.
But p-Zombies are real, and LLMs are machines for turning people who outsource their cognitive functioning to "AI" into p-Zombies.

AI vibe coding is causing the modding scene to get weird as decompiling game files has accelerated and allows rust ports to merge completely different games.
There's a portal meets Nazi zombies from COD mod.

Think it’s very funny that Blomkamp made an AI movie about penny-pinching ghouls turning people into weaponized zombies without their consent
Neill Blomkamp’s new zombie AI ‘film’ is just slop warmed over

so far the main use for AI is just stealing art and turbocharging scams so they overrun websites like the zombies in World War Z

Gen AI sucks and would Miyazaki agree, yeah sure, BUT that quote about "an insult to life itself" is specifically about body horror being ableist. Someone procedurally made 3D bodies flail around and said "these could be zombies" and he said "that's really mean." A completely different valid take

Something not created by AI, a short, relaxing moment of rain in woodland. That's it, no drones, zombies, or political point scoring. Just rain falling on leaves.

As much as I love zombies and necromancy in games, I think digital necromancy through AI is deeply perturbing and frankly evil. It can only do harm.
Netflix's new reality show "Wonka's Golden Ticket" uses AI Gene Wilder as its host. The beloved comedian passed away in 2016, but his voice lives on in AI form. At least Netflix didn't use AI to create the new Oompa Loompas.
What do you think of this AI resurrection? Let us know in the comments 👇

maybe AI is how we realize that a random 70% of people are philosophical zombies
I think an interesting thing about this moment is that we (or at least most people) do not have a theory of mind that accounts for something that is not sentient but can have a conversation with you
no it wasn’t and no it didn’t

I get the frustration over the term “AI” being overused now thanks to Plants Vs Zombies remake discourse.
“They used AI!”
Is that… Gen AI, or a program that upscales? Because it’s the former that’s problematic.
“AI!”
Right, sure, but what *specifically* are you talking about?
”A… I.”
Oh for…

Sadly, this appears to be AI. There are some tells throughout (hands disappearing, the people in the background staring like collective zombies, some weird configurations on the walls) but overall, this looks pretty real -- it's getting harder to tell what's real and what's not. Which ain't great.
