Yes, AI traps us in ever decreasing circles of the already-known. AI accelerates the recycling of the past and traps us in the act of repeating an already stagnant culture - while creating the superficial illusion of progress. Good article.

The best Xmas album is Bob Dylan's, because everyone yells at you to turn it off and then they don't even want to listen to their Xmas music again they just want silence for once

The reason this happens is because professors ask AI programs whether or not the essays are written by AI. They are too dumb to tell. And then the AI hallucinates and says they are when they are not.

I hate ai. It’s a parasite, why is my professor saying my essay is 34% ai generated when I spent about 1-2 hours every day working on it



A stunning lack of self-awareness, the irony drips from this as if it were intentional and yet we know he is really just that oblivious

To paraphrase Voltaire, those who believe in absurdities can commit atrocities without ever thinking they’re doing anything wrong. What would happen if there were an omnipotent AI that was trained to believe absurdities? Grok is the only AI that is laser-focused on truth.



I seem to be the only man with the correct opinions

Brother, I have behaved basically the same way on here since 2009. I’m open about my life and politics. I don’t go at fans who disagree, I’m happy to have discussions in DM which I do. For fifteen years you guys have warned me sales are going to drop.
