Huh... I guess I'll just make this a double post and watch the next episode as well, since they're a two-parter. (Apparently the only one in the series, oddly enough.)

"Elon Musk tweets support for ‘Dilbert’ creator after racist tirade'

Because of fucking course he did. *eye roll + weary sigh + smdh*

"Artificial Intelligence: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)"

Watch on YouTube

"Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of our lives, from self-driving cars to ChatGPT. John Oliver discusses how AI works, where it might be heading next, and, of course, why it hates the bus."

A list of points I found interesting and/or disturbing:

• That "Eminem" song was pretty good.
• Students have been looking for ways to get around having to do their own assignments since the advent of the concept of school. Using ChatGPT for this is merely the newest wrinkle in that ancient fabric. Not saying it shouldn't be curtailed, just saying it's nothing new.
• Another mention of that Kevin Roose NYT article, which has so many shocked that AI can seem so "human."
• As if getting a job wasn't hard enough already.
• Really didn't need to see Clippy masturbating, but I now live in the reality where I have seen it.
• Self-driving cars being trained to be racist is not great, that's for sure.
• Back to the AI reading resumes thing and why that is similarly not great.
• "The problem with AI right now isn't that it's smart, it's that it's stupid in ways that we can't always predict."
• I also didn't need to see an image of Fucker Carlson's hard-on flipping his desk, but, again, that's the grossly inferior reality in which I now live.
• More of the AI "Eminem" cat song.
