Just found out there are multiple episodes of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” that were removed from Hulu. My head is about to explode. Don’t get me wrong, there are way more fucked up things going on than a dumb tv show being censored, but come on man? It is satire 😵‍💫🤦

Very unfortunate that I lost all my Bitcoin right after this new bull run kicked off. I have terrible luck.

I got something similar for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Basically it is a license to harvest Memes from the wild.

“Because let me introduce you to…

the hell that is AI-generated children’s YouTube content.

YouTube for kids is quickly becoming a stream of synthetic content. Much of it now consists of wooden digital characters interacting in short nonsensical clips without continuity or purpose. Toddlers are forced to sit and watch this runoff because no one is paying attention. And the toddlers themselves can’t discern that characters come and go and that the plots don’t make sense and that it’s all just incoherent dream-slop. The titles don’t match the actual content, and titles that are all the parents likely check, because they grew up in a culture where if a YouTube video said BABY LEARNING VIDEOS and had a million views it was likely okay. Now, some of the nonsense AI-generated videos aimed at toddlers have tens of millions of views.”

And later in the article…

“All around the nation there are toddlers plunked down in front of iPads being subjected to synthetic runoff, deprived of human contact even in the media they consume. There’s no other word but dystopian. Might not actual human-generated cultural content normally contain cognitive micro-nutrients (like cohesive plots and sentences, detailed complexity, reasons for transitions, an overall gestalt, etc) that the human mind actually needs? We’re conducting this experiment live. For the first time in history developing brains are being fed choppy low-grade and cheaply-produced synthetic data created en masse by generative AI, instead of being fed with real human culture. No one knows the effects, and no one appears to care. Especially not the companies, because…”

Obviously I’ve seen a few Bitcoin phone memes today. This one is my favorite so far!

Been using GitHub Copilot for some personal projects. I’m very unimpressed.

Propaganda is too strong. The average person thinks the internet is Twitter/Facebook/Youtube. I’m going with Collectivization for $200 Alex.

“The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart is a clever piece of propaganda that allows people to chuckle along and nod in agreement as they are subtly lead to the opinions they are told to have. Don’t waste your time.
