- Reposted by Jordan KellerThe way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.
- “Kirk did not commit violence, not because he abhorred it, but because committing violence was someone else’s job.” every sentence of this piece is sharper than the last but this one is gonna stick in my head for a long time. one of the most incisive useless wordpiles i’ve read all year.
