I keep on saying that there will be at least one more AI bubble before 2045, because apparently that's the latest date Kurzweil gives for his Singularity™ (can't be arsed to go reread his book and double-check, my copy was a PDF that came via the high seas 5 computers ago anyway)

Zefram Cochrane is supposed to invent warp drive in 2063, these guys need to be moving their timelines forward, not backward!
Dude why do we even need or want AGI?
We need salvation but it won't come via rapture this decade
I trust Nate Silver's writing advice exactly as much as I trust his recommendations for hair-care products

Certainly not the approach I would have taken! (Getting the bot to give up on delivering code, and instead return epic-length erotic fan fiction featuring Elan Sleazebaggano, the breakout supporting character from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones) But probably all the more effective for it.
Can't believe that these guys are forgetting Data on Star Trek needed an emotion-chip upgrade to feel emotions, and he didn't even get it full-time until the series was over and they were doing movies. Dario and friends are just giving away what could be an entire upgrade/upcharge cycle! "Be more intimate than ever with your workflows! Upgrade to feeling agents on FeelsCloud today! (ignore that it's just some bullshit we vibecoded in Verilog and then flashed to discount FPGAs we shoved in the bottom of the server racks)"
That's OK, the next set of bankruptcy lawyers will again conduct clawbacks
Speaking of Aella (I really shouldn't), many have probably already seen this Liberal Currents article that leans heavily on her web-survey sex research dataset:

The publication seems to have plenty of traction on Bluesky, for what that's worth, but I think this particular example needs to be retained as an exhibit of the hazards of rehabilitating American liberalism. A low-level affinity for the existing tech industry is always there, as its growth underlaid the benefits that make liberalism appealing. And that means the doorway for entryism by the tech-fascist freaks is always open, and then you're never more than a couple fundraising cycles (whether electoral or investment) away from being right back in this exact same mess.
No way the facilitator will ever accrue any liability or get subpoenaed when the civil lawsuits (or worse) start flying!
Claude, write me an ironclad legal disclaimer, maybe something about this being for entertainment purposes only
"12 Endings of AI" definitely seems like another heaping helping of bland criti-hype, but it did remind me of the delightfully bizarre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_13_Ghosts_of_Scooby-Doo featuring Vincent Price

Oh, OK, cool. Let me know how the chatbot handles temperature management, stock rotation, allergen cross-contamination for seafood, all that good stuff.
