The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Hear, hear *raises glass* In our case, there were times when we corrected Producers from Cartoon Network's end because their suggestions were out of (current) canon or were actually fan theories. But sure, slop your IP away gang....

I’ll be honest, I do feel a bit silly having spent so many years of my career working hard to honour IP given how quickly all the IP owners are adopting slop and slop based pipelines. I’d have slept better, for sure.

I will simply say I am seeing exactly this situation play out right now in a different field. Work that would have taken about 3 weeks start to finish via traditional methods is now into week 6 and still in what amounts to first draft territory

Forgotten Island opened this weekend. Many people said the marketing was weak. On my side, I saw plenty of promotions. Did algorithms knew to target me? I am genuinely curious: what sort of marketing would reach you? How do you find out about upcoming projects?

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

Technology enthusiasts severely overestimate the average person’s desire or willingness or capacity to build and use AI agents. I understand some work roles that could mandate or encourage it but that is no way a tech revolution. Agents are best for structured, clearly delineated tasks.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1
