ChatGPT connects your brain to a quality '50s-era psychiatrist, who can then lobotomise you non-invasively and turn you into a perfect office worker for our billionaire overlords
All connection technology is a force for homogeneity. Television was the death of the regional accent, for example.
Listen to a Geordie for five minutes and say that to me with a straight face. I fucking dare you. (Not you, the orange site member)
If a human customer service rep [added charges without telling people and lied to them], it’d just be fraud. But being able to blame the computer, that’s the use case for AI!
Potential hot take: In situations where the company attempts to diffuse responsbility, the CEO should take the blame automatically.
Update from Brian Merchant: The first edition of AI Killed My Job has just dropped
It’s all gotta be in the models by now, but it’s gonna be a cool resource for something, right?
It'll also be helpful for helping the 'Net recover from the slop-nami once AI finally dies.
Dan McQuillian just dropped the text of a seminar he gave: The role of the University is to resist AI
I was half-expecting a shitpost of some kind, but nope this is a solid deep-dive into a single segment from the most infamous troll fic of all time.
Also, that ending paragraph is fucking brutal. Straight from the top rope.
Starting this off with Baldur Bjarnason sneering at his fellow techies for their "reading" of Dante's Inferno:
Reading through my feed reader and seeing tech dilettantes “doing” Dante in a week and change, I’m reminded of the time in university when we spent half a semester discussing Dante’s Divine Comedy, followed by tracing it’s impact and influence over the centuries
I don’t think these assholes even bother to read their footnotes, and their writing all sounds like it comes from ChatGPT. Naturally so, because I believe them when they claim they don’t use it for writing. They’re just genuinely that dull
At least read the footnotes FFS
If they were reading Dante for pleasure, that’d be different—genuinely awesome, even. But all of this is framed as doing the entirety of “humanities” in the space of a few weeks.
Exploiting software copyright could be profitable, but to my knowledge its an unproven method. At this moment, they're probably eyeing the fact that defense spending is ballooning worldwide and thinking "there's some easy money to made".
Either that, or put their money into defence and make a quick killing off of all the war breaking out.

(This is basically an expanded version of a comment on the weekly Stubsack - I’ve linked it above for convenience’s sake.) This is pure gut instinct, but I’m starting to get the feeling this AI bubble’s gonna destroy the concept of artificial intelligence as we know it. On the artistic front, there’...
(No clue why I didn't get around to this earlier, I've had this in drafts for too long.)
Eight months ago, as you probably know, I predicted the current AI bubble would destroy artificial intelligence as a concept, focusing on the unrelenting slop and failures of AI, and on the near-universal backlash it receives whenever it rears its ugly, slop-ridden head.
As it turns out, I had completely failed to recognise the the political elements of this entire bubble. In retrospect, I should've recognised it a lot fucking earlier.
Between Baldur Bjarnason outlining the esoteric fascist elements at the heart of the AI bubble, AI slop's enthusiastic adoption by fascists of all stripes, Damien Williams' notes on authoritarians' love for gen-AI, Ashley Lynch calling AI slop inherently fascist, its become clear the outright fascist nature of AI has been staring me in the face the entire time.
With all that in mind, I'd like to expand on my previous piece with three additional predictions.
- AI-as-Fascism
Right off the bat, I expect AI as a concept will pick up a public perception of being inherently fascist, or at least a tool of fascism. Beyond all the ink spilled about AI's fascist nature, Donald Trump going all-in on AI has done plenty to link his administration with the tech, whether through making AI slop of deportees, or letting Elon Musk's AI Poweredtm Department Of Government Efficiency go to town on the federal gov.
Long-term, I expect this will hamper future attempts to start new AI bubbles/AI springs, as attempts to revive the tech get treated as morally equivalent to creating the Fourth Reich.
- The Wider Tech Industry
On a wider front, I expect the tech industry at large will pick up a similar stench of Eau de Fash as well. Whilst the tech industry has long enjoyed a perception of apoliticality (which James Allen-Robertson has talked about (spoilers for Devs BTW), their own heavy involvement with the Trump administration has done plenty to undermine that.
Between their sucking up to Trump and AI's own stench of Eau de Fash, I can see the public starting to view the tech industry at large as a Nazi bar once the bubble bursts. Silicon Valley's given 'em plenty of reason to do so.
- A Bone for The Humanities
Ending this off on a vaguely positive note, I suspect the bubble's burst will earn the humanities some begrudging respect once the dust settles - primarily through cannibalising a fair bit of the cultural cachet that STEM has built up over the decades.
On one front, the slop-nami has given us an absolute torrent of slop flooding the Internet, notable both in its uniquely inhuman shittiness, and in AI bros' breathless adoration of it. Given that, I expect programmers/software engineers will come to be viewed as inherently incapable of making anything on par with anyone who has taken up art as a hobby/profession, and incapable of understanding art with any sort of depth to it.
Additionally, I suspect a stereotype of programmers/software engineers being hostile to art/artists may form, thanks to the rather drastic toll this bubble has had on artists, and the ongoing rhetoric of "democratising art" that the bubble's given us. (The age-old "learn to code" adage may also come back to haunt them as well, if this comes to pass.)
On a wider front, the breathless "AI doomsday" criti-hype, more general over-the-top AI hype, and nonstop hallucination-induced mishaps will likely also contribute to making STEM as a discipline look out-of-touch with reality, making the humanities look grounded and reasonable by comparison as the public looks in confusion at AI bros' inability to recognise LLMs' shittiness for what it is.
Unlike any other work, code comes with its own built in, essentially irremovable “watermark” in the form of security exploits. In several thousands lines of code, there would be enough “watermark” for identification.
To give an example, Warner Brothers got sued by Bethesda for stealing code from Fallout Shelter when making their Westworld mobile game, with Bethesda pointing to a bug that appeared in early versions of FO Shelter as evidence of stolen code.
Although that does suggest a new dunk on computer touchers, of the AI enthusiast kind, you can point at that and say that coding clearly does not require any logical reasoning.
Considering how many actual programmers fell for botshit and autoplag, it probably never did. That's probably being a bit harsh, but I feel this bubble's shown that your ability to puke out computational word salad does not translate into having any sort of useful skill.
The whole history of “artificial intelligence” since 1955 is making impressive demos that you can’t use for real work. Then they cut your funding off and it’s AI Winter again.
I've found myself wondering if I was being overly harsh in calling artificial intelligence a pseudoscience. Clearly, I was not.
Good news: a portable version of the LEGO Island decomp just came out, meaning ports to other OSes or devices are now possible.
Hell, there's even a browser port now, available at https://isle.pizza/. If you wanna learn more about the decomp, check out the video I linked.
New article from Axos: Publishers facing existential threat from AI, Cloudflare CEO says
Baldur Bjarnason has given his commentary:
Honestly, if search engine traffic is over, it might be time for blogs and blog software to begin to deny all robots by default
Anyways, personal sidenote/prediction: I suspect the Internet Archive's gonna have a much harder time archiving blogs/websites going forward.
Up until this point, the Archive enjoyed easy access to large swathes of the 'Net - site owners had no real incentive to block new crawlers by default, but the prospect of getting onto search results gave them a strong incentive to actively welcome search engine robots, safe in the knowledge that they'd respect robots.txt and keep their server load to a minimum.
Thanks to the AI bubble and the AI crawlers its unleashed upon the 'Net, that has changed significantly.
Now, allowing crawlers by default risks AI scraper bots descending upon your website and stealing everything that isn't nailed down, overloading your servers and attacking FOSS work in the process. And you can forget about reigning them in with robots.txt - they'll just ignore it and steal anyways, they'll lie about who they are, they'll spam new scrapers when you block the old ones, they'll threaten to exclude you from search results, they'll try every dirty trick they can because these fucks feel entitled to steal your work and fundamentally do not respect you as a person.
Add in the fact that the main upside of allowing crawlers (turning up in search results) has been completely undermined by those very same AI corps, as "AI summaries" (like Google's) steal your traffic through stealing your work, and blocking all robots by default becomes the rational decision to make.
This all kinda goes without saying, but this change in Internet culture all-but guarantees the Archive gets caught in the crossfire, crippling its efforts to preserve the web as site owners and bloggers alike treat any and all scrapers as guilty (of AI fuckery) until proven innocent, and the web becomes less open as a whole as people protect themselves from the AI robber barons.
On a wider front, I expect this will cripple any future attempts at making new search engines, too. In addition to AI making it piss-easy to spam search systems with SEO slop, any new start-ups in web search will struggle with quality websites blocking their crawlers by default, whilst slop and garbage will actively welcome their crawlers, leading to your search results inevitably being dogshit and nobody wanting to use your search engine.
...Honestly, I can't help but feel you're on to something. I'd have loved to believe this was an honest thought experiment, but after seeing the right openly wage a war on empathy as a concept, I wouldn't be shocked if Roko's Basilisk (and its subsequent effects) weren't planned from the start.
