    I don't understand how the abundance of AI datacenters translates into wellbeing of common folk. Right now AI is a net negative for the people.

    Image -> loose text description -> SVG. Did you notice that ChatGPT writes a verbose description of the image first?

    I think his point is that AI is really good at finding vulnerabilities.

    I think AI pictures have this soulless vibe because they are creations of Frankenstein: many pieces of other pictures stitched together in a sloppy manner. A human-made picture, ev…

    IMO, cognitive athrophy is the point. If humans become dependent on AI, those corporations will get enough leverage to change laws in their favor. For example, people don't want a …

    The financial motive must be capturing video data for AI training. Moreover, this data won't be entirely passive: the glasses can tell the user to do something and then observe how…

    This looks like the Divinity Machine from Doom.

    Modern design, especially the modern architecture, is meant to simplify people's thinking, make it bland and uniform. Look at the gray cubism around you: does it inspire any creati…

    LLMs poison your mind. The more AI slop you read, the more your mind turns into something like slop. This isn't very different from the idea that the food you eat is what your body…

    From one perspective, AI serves as a wedge that separates those who want human culture from those who want machine culture.

    Scientists seem really busy these days creating synthetic life: advances in AI, human eggs from stem cells and now this - synthetic cells. I somehow feel they are inspired by the A…

    ASI as Alien Slop Intelligence is already here. The next phase is hardening the slop, I suppose.

    Does the nature look like a horrible mess to you?

    Our brains run 86 billion neurons the same way a waterfall runs a fluid simulation with N quadrillion particles.

    Reviewing AI slop is data labelling and it isn't very different from what people in 3rd world do labeling various images. Constant context switching is what causes the exhaustion. …

    IMO, this LLM-generated crap must be flagged. Doesn't matter that it came from Nvidia.

    I call it Alien Slop Intelligence (ASI) that gradually turns your mind into slop. AI is sloppy on details, so at first you polish its slop by hand, then you start ignoring small im…

    We are watching an experiment: how high the Tower of Babel can stand of it's built with AI slop. "According to the narrative story in Genesis 11, the city received the name "Babel"…

    The public is forced to use AI at work and outside of work because the corpos are determined in inserting their AI everywhere. Then the people come back home and see that their ene…

    This is what happens when people with big money succumb to AI psychosis.
