I love Blade Runner, but I don’t know if we want that future. I believe we want that duster he’s wearing, but not the, uh, not the bleak apocalypse.
there’s nothing more painful than when capitalists think they understand cyberpunk
NEW MISSION: we must show Elon Musk “Naked Lunch” so his next car is a cyber cockroach typewriter
Silicon Valley is proud to announce the man who taught his asshole to talk, based on the hit William S. Burroughs story, “Don’t be the man who taught his asshole to talk.”
Yea who would want to live in a dusty, arid, brown and yellow wasteland city like that? Certainly not the “Occupy Mars” guy.
The dark theme is nice, btw.
Okay, personal thoughts:
This is just gut instinct, but it feels like generative AI is going to end up becoming a legal minefield once the many lawsuits facing OpenAI and others wrap up. Between the likes of Nashville’s ELVIS Act, the federal bill for the COPIED Act, the solid case for denying Fair Use protection, and the absolute flood of lawsuits coming down on the AI industry, I suspect gen-AI will come to be seen by would-be investors as legally risky at best and a lawsuit generator at worst.
Also, Musk would’ve been much better off commissioning someone to make the image he wanted rather than grabbing a screencap Aicon openly said he was not allowed to use and laundering it through some autoplag. Moral and legal issues aside, it would have given something much less ugly to look at.
His recent attempts to get involved in politics must’ve been inspired by Duck Soup.
