I also believe LLMs will scapegoated for human responsibility for war crimes.

-Meta is using humans in Kenya to help identify objects for their โ€œAI glassesโ€
-Waymo uses human in the Philippines to help drive their car
- Tesla โ€œAI robotsโ€ are remote controlled by people

AI is a SCAM

The digging is the process. You end up learning so many things that you wouldnโ€™t if you just asked a LLM to send you its curated sources. You also have to spend time fact checking your LLM. Doesnโ€™t seem worth it to me unless youโ€™re just interested in producing content ie slop.

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.

Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custodyโ€”the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Centerโ€”he died from complications from a tooth infection.

A tooth infection.

Im seeing reports in the 80s now.

Please stop what youโ€™re doing and take time to sit with these lost of life. These were someoneโ€™s babies and love and hope and futures. They had dreams. This is not just a news cycle. We need to feel the grief of these deaths.

The jump scare from when you hear a baby crying but itโ€™s the neighbors.

Thatโ€™s also why you have all these actors saying theyโ€™re A-political theyโ€™re scared of getting black listed. You ainโ€™t getting no mo pins at award shows.

CNN was always a mouth piece of the state but Ellison being able to purchase it an all that is included with Warner Brothers is not good.

A lot of AI safety is a grift and the moment they have to do anything that requires Anthropic to actually handle a safety issue that exists in the here and now they relent. They donโ€™t care. They never have.

Iโ€™m hoping they do a Mr. X connection in the xfiles reboot. Like she became an agent to find who killed her grandfather or something.

Sometimes when my daughter plays with my hair I get these flashes of us much older and sheโ€™s caring for me in that way. Itโ€™s like weโ€™re flickering in and out of time.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!
