I am actually talking book proposals about this one. (I told my agent about the Akon City article and her eyes lit up.) There's a definite strain of compelling crazy to pursue here.

obviously I should write an AI book first. But also, writing isn't fungible, so it'll be what I come out with first.

TIRED: AI generated images
WIRED: obvious 5-minute edits that don't give a shit

well so far it's the whiny little chuds app

though today's was the Nigerian crypto guy who was angry I'd apparently deleted several of his articles

not included: a few hundred words of other ranting about the pervasive race science in AI research and especially from anyone talking about "AGI". Maybe later.

there’s a whole much larger drama around the commander format that i haven’t got the energy to go into here. the most tolerable summary is that they printed a card so ridiculous that the format dissolved and was remade under a wave of death threats when it was banned. i know that doesn’t make sense, just trust me, or write your own summary of it.

now i really wanna know

also, thinking about it, this is shockingly on topic for tech takes

they're well at the top of the S-curve and now there's only desperate over-engineering and bolting on special cases left

Unpopular opinion: you only hate chat gpt because it makes it harder to stack rank and discriminate against people.

So what everyone can write well now? great it's a tool! Just like moving faster because you drive a car.

The good news is you'll be easily able to hire for that writing job you need. The bad news is you won't be able to discriminate against candidates who are not as good with the written word.

Also, an obsession with the written word is a tenant of white supremacy [salute emoji]
