Throwback to Oasis 2013: How to make an Iron Throne! #GameOfThrones

20 years ago today, a stop in Radiator Springs showed us that the journey matters as much as the finish line. 🏁 Cars Races Back into Theaters September #Cars20

honestly it sucks so bad seeing local businesses use ai for their logos and advertising bc now the beauty of unique local business identities is slowly being lost

The European mind is starting to comprehend

My personal experience with AI is that most of the gen AI companies have offered me buckets of money (house money!) to publicly endorse their tools and claim they are central to my creativity (have turned them all down). What's interesting is that there are SO many people who are hyped about these tools who should be getting the bag instead of me. So all I can gather is that these companies are throwing money around to control the story about who their tools are for. Seems like they'll pay anything to have non-AI folks endorse the AI tools.

Guys. Can we just go back to humans creating posters on Canva. I can’t do these AI posters anymore…. please stop. Honestly.

Made by humans for humans.

This is the most necessary job in India because people have no sense. We were at a mall in Kochi yesterday and I had the toddler in the pram, waiting for the lift down. I wait 15mins with the lift coming and leaving full of able boded people everytime and except for this one time a 12/13yo boy who came out and offered his place, not one person stepped out. I told the kid thanks but I need a bit more space with the pram and the adults in the lift grinned awkwardly rather than go out and make space. This lift was right next to the escalator. After waiting 15mins I’d had enough and next time the lift stopped with able bodied people in it, I asked them to please take the escalator and leave the lift free for the elderly or people with little kids. Fortunately, some obliged and stepped out. Before I could go in, the lady who just came with her 6yo & older mother barge in. Leaving little room for the pram and me. When I respectfully asked her to wait for the next lift because I’d waited 15mins and my kid was tired, she asked me to adjust and it wasn’t like we couldn’t all fit in. I had to spend the ride down with a man pressed up close to me while she happily stood at ease. In Bangalore, where we have lift operators who will ruthlessly tell such entitled pricks to let elderly people or those with kids in first and wait their turn, this doesn’t happen. So IMO, an absolutely necessary job because we have too many entitled pricks who have no sense.

I promised you all post gathering my thoughts on the Ferrari Luce and now I’ve had a couple of days to digest and think, plus several glasses of cold Tizer, here it is. Let me say straight off that it’s bad, both objectively and subjectively. I’ll get into what’s wrong with ithe design but at the moment all I have are more questions than answers. A thread 1/n

Biggest win of Rosenqvist's life and the first thing he said on the radio was I wish you were here. It's beautiful.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

the em dash is no longer the clearest sign of ai-generated writing. honestly? it’s this.

AI OPENS THE DOOR TO INFINITE CREATIVITY!!!!! Meanwhile AI companies:

Actually what the artists fucking painted is what they wanted to show us you stupid fucking prick

Scraping websites and having AI summarize them, so that no one visits the websites, is theft. Training AI on videos, so that it can make new videos that compete with them, is theft. We are witnessing the largest theft of creative work in history.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

My Adobe subscription has a $270 cancellation fee to exit my contract I started in college in 2013. I’ve paid Adobe over $8000 and don’t own anything, and if I want to leave they’ll charge me a heinous fee that is hidden in the fine print, using dark pattern business.

Hey man, saw your AI-generated poster. Yeah, it looks like pure dogshit 👍

Dear Microsoft, when I hit the Windows Start menu key and start typing a word to autocomplete a search, I never, ever, EVER want it to return results of something not on my computer. Ever. Like, ever, ever, never.
