Creepy as hell. Gift link.

What a mess this whole thing has been.

Everyone excited about generative AI needs to account for this kind of thing. We don’t pay enough attention to digital labor and the dehumanizing aspects of content moderation.

I’ve seen some reviews describe the new Mission Impossible movie (apparently featuring a malicious AI) as perfectly suited for our time of ChatGPT. I’m more worried about things like this: content farming, model collapse, etc.

This is dumb and gross, and another reason I’ll never use Spotify.

Amazon keeps getting bigger, and I don’t think that’s for the better.

I haven’t read much about this bill, but it’s worrying that powerful entities have such an advantage in the debate about limiting their power.
