CONGRATULATIONS HARRY

ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:

if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.

the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?

people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...

all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads

I haven't posted on here since forever it seems like… First page of a silly little thing I made after a 12 year hiatus, based on the delightful Disco Elysium fanfic by Lepak - "Nothing to Lose but our Chains" https://archiveofourown.org/works/23314468?view_full_work=true

how are we feeling knowing we’re going to have to campaign against vriska honestuck for the final plmm round. personally i’ve drawn the harry du trapezoid to cope

The dialogue Astarion has with Karlach after killing Cazador and refusing to ascend is doing things to me.

WHY he can't sit for a second?

He was so stubborn about that, yet he made so many remarks about Harry's running around...

"Goodnight detective" As for now, a colored lineart, i think i'll try to paint over it later, but as of rn I am too scared to do this >.< It's nice on it's own, i think :>

someone please please give gumshoe a raise please
