A serial killer is on the loose and you are next: the neutral fact is you have simply been targeted. The unfolding movements are unstoppable, the logic decided—your only choice is how much to believe you actually want to die
Quote Tweet
ChatGPT is going to replace writing, AI characters are going to replace actors, and AI generated art is going to replace real artists. It doesn’t matter that it sucks and everyone hates it. CGI quickly and completely replaced traditional animation, which is superior in every way

A new statue atop a New York City courthouse. The artist says it’s part of an “urgent and necessary cultural reckoning underway as New York reconsiders traditional representations of power in public spaces and recasts civic structures to better reflect 21st-century social mores.”

Quote Tweet
The excitement about AI is deeper and more disinterested than the excitement about crypto. There's something real to crypto, for sure, but AI seems more likely to be the thing historians consider important about this decade.

How many years out are we from someone being able to input some basic parameters into an AI and have it spit out a full personalized movie rendered in Unreal Engine or something like that? 20? 10? 5?

They’re exhausted from the spiritual war waged thru invisible digital machines draining their souls of life and refilling them with automated simulations
Quote Tweet
I was thinking today I feel like everybody is just killing time now. I go to work, I go into the town (rarely), I go to the grocery shop, and it feels like everybody is just going through the motions and has really stopped trying or giving a shit about anything.

I’m surprised Microsoft didn’t partner with Google to invest $2T to merge it into the government
Quote Tweet
The Microsoft <> OpenAI news is much bigger than we first thought:

Quote Tweet
I find it odd that when Americans decided to display religious symbols, they chose the 10 Commandments instead of Jesus’s command to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
