I do not care how cringe people think this is, They are right. The internet used to be fun and it belonged to all of us. And it still can be if we fight for it.

How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

If I pass away and someone makes some sort of tribute to me using AI, I'm going to rise from the fucking dead just to drag them back down with me.

Rather chuffed that, in the last few weeks, my poetry has been longlisted for the Bournemouth Writing Prize and shortlisted in the Hastings Book Festival Poetry Competition

Me to the electricity company when the lights suddenly came back on:

Eight powercuts this evening. A couple were under a minute, but the last went on for long enough that (a) we thought it was set in for the night and we'd wake up to electricity in the morning, and (b) when the lights did unexpectedly turn back on, my eyes were seared away

“You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.” Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and my books that I can understand without needing an AI summary.

I think the fact that Marissa Mayer would voluntarily disclose this to a reporter is a pretty good demonstration of how deeply the culture of Silicon Valley has diverged from the rest of humanity

How utterly grotesque. One wonders if some of these people are so obsessed with non-human and post-human intelligence because they've already failed miserably at being human

The naysayers are getting embarrassing. Every day, people are using AI to make incredible breakthroughs and answer some of the toughest questions around, like "what do I like about my child?"

One of the weirder parts of RTD2 was the week after The Story & The Engine came out and for some reason all of Doctor Who Twitter was acting like they'd just watched the second coming of Heaven Sent. That episode was mid as hell I'm sorry.

I don't want my coffee machine on Wi-Fi. I don't want an app for my car, a QR code for my menu, Al customer service, or Google Al Overviews. I just want to buy something once, have it work, speak to a human if I need help, and be left alone. Is that too much to ask?

Every single new piece of AI technology is like “yooo check out this new way we’re breaking the social fabric and reality and making it harder for you to trust anything and everything besides what you see right in front of you with your own eyes 🤗🤗🤗” Evil ass fucks

We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech! Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs. This is a GPT3 moment for speech.
