Every article on pronatalism in the past few years has been these two Thiel-sponsored white nationalist dweebs and nobody else. Why the fuck does the Guardian fall for this shit too.

Laurens Hof on Mastodon:

absolutely insane article:

  • the headline claims the models capable of reasoning are ready
  • first paragraph moves from 'ready' to 'on the brink'
  • 4th paragraph moves from 'on the brink' to 'hard at work, figuring it out'
  • 5th paragraph scales it down further, now the next model with only 'show progress' towards reasoning'
  • halfway through LeCun admits that current models cannot reason at all

the journalistic malpractice here is honestly a parody of itself

NFTs can contain code that messes with your Metamask wallet. SVG NFTs can contain JavaScript. Now, you might think any attention would be paid to security.

greatest point against him being a rationalist is the 262 word manifesto, it would be 20,000 words with sections numbered I. II. III. and possibly diagrams

This is being done against the wishes of Carlin's family. Kelly Carlin https://twitter.com/...

My statement regarding the AI generated George Carlin special: My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very human life, brain and imagination. No machine will ever replace his genius. These AI generated products are clever attempts at trying to recreate a mind…1/3

…that will never exist again. Let’s let the artist’s work speak for itself. Humans are so afraid of the void that we can’t let what has fallen into it stay there. 2/3

Here’s an idea, how about we give some actual living human comedians a listen to? But if you want to listen to the genuine George Carlin, he has 14 specials that you can find anywhere. 3/3

I’m worried about his legacy. His reputation. His art. I’m allowed to do that as his daughter and while I’m alive. It’s important that these corporations don’t rape & pillage art. Don’t assume you understand who I am and what values I live by.
