Los hombres se tornan narcisistas y violentos en proporción inversa al ejercicio de la paternidad. No es descabellado afirmar que la violencia que nos agobia en México tiene profunda relación con la crisis de masculinidad y en ésta de la paternidad

LOL It's true.
Tom Hanks tried to warn him...
Conan O'Brien learned the hard way during #ToyStory5 that voice acting isn't for the weak.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

I increasingly think AI has created a new cultural category: consumption experienced as production. You can spend hours prompting images, code, videos, stories, and ideas and feel intensely engaged throughout the process. It feels active rather than passive. But often what is happening is that you are consuming an endless stream of machine-generated novelty, customised precisely to your tastes.
The cultural challenge of AI may not be distinguishing human-generated content from AI-generated content. It may be distinguishing genuine authorship from highly personalised entertainment.

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

People tie themselves in knots trying to explain the content of contemporary ideas when they are merely symptoms of decay and corruption. Take populism. It’s not political thought. It’s just decay in its usual form, would be seen as such by any historian or philosopher in past:

Parents: Do not give your children any AI companions or AI enhanced toys. With social media 15 years ago, we can say we didn't know.
With AI, we can already see some of the harms, such as suicide and psychosis. Other harms will surface years from now.

Is AI different?
In the past technologies (dishwashers, word processors, etc.) moved workers up the added value scale, w/productivity at the bottom.
AI is moving lawyers,editors,radiologists into lower value jobs: Uber drivers, waiters...
Gains are going to technofeudalists

I hope everyone can see this is not AI. It’s the metaverse rebranded
Why do we keep dedicating our brightest minds, billions of dollars, and the most powerful GPUs on earth to building yet another app that optimizes for attention decay?
I was hopeful when ChatGPT seemed to reclaim time from TikTok and Instagram. It felt useful, even nourishing. But now we see disposable video, same engagement treadmill and path to ads?
If even our “nonprofits” can’t resist this gravity, what does that say about us?

🚨 INDAUTOR INFORMA
La Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación resolvió que las obras creadas por inteligencia artificial 🤖 no pueden registrarse como derechos de autor en México.
⚖️ La creatividad protegida por la ley es exclusivamente humana.

1/Increasingly bothered by the argument that the path to “intelligence” requires the theft of all known intellectual property. That’s not anything but theft, and if you were actually building “intelligence” it theoretically requires near zero training data.

Get that? The problem isn't that Midjourney wants to replace all the animation artists - it's that they didn't pay the movie studios license fees for the training data. They didn't create "partnerships."

Cory D’s theory of web enshittification is essential for understanding the online world today and the emerging venture capital led economy.
"If your customers are too happy, you're leaving money on the table": it's the rallying cry of the enshittifier, and it's also what a friend of mine was told by a respected professor in a top-tier MBA program.

"It is not the job of artists to give the audience what the audience want. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artist. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need."

Focus on effort, not outcomes. It’s insane to tie your wellbeing to things outside of your control, Marcus Aurelius said. If you did your best, if you gave it your all, if you acted with your best judgment—that's a win…regardless of whether it’s a good or bad outcome.

All extremely predictable, and predicted by non-cultists for years. Tech has a cult problem.
Those 'exponential' graph curves that showed Human Level Intelligence was imminent and AI would be the most profitable industry in the world have flatlined. A trillion invested and where are the returns?
Welcome to the AI trough of disillusionment.

🧵Watching the West stumble from one crisis to the next, I think democratic governance has been hollowed by our inept elites, possibly beyond repair. I see this both as a byproduct of globalization and what has been happening deep inside our nations and our communities. 1/10
