As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access. A thread, with links: >>

How shameful that one of the wealthiest cities in the world treats those most in need with such despicable cruelty and violence. @oliviachow, where art thou?

My 8yo asked me if Donald Trump is the CEO of @Tesla and i feel like that’s the least confused thing the internet has taught her in a while.

In the past 4 months my credit debt has gone from practically nothing to a number that makes me uncomfortable 😳 meanwhile my credit score has soared to new heights/ “excellent” 😂 & I’m being offered more and more rope with which to hang myself on a daily 🤪#economiesaresomeBS

This entire thread says so much about AI and also the laziness + love of enragement of people on this platform. Also trolling and satire are not the same thing, are they? would be a shame if they were.

I’m freaking out and can’t wait to share this - I got invited the first week of October to the Creative Commons Global Summit here in CDMX to talk on a panel about pushing boundaries with AI art. 🫨 I don’t even have to travel and attend the whole week of workshops too while repping ai art x web3 life. Ty CC for the love and MP for facilitating the connection 🖤 I can’t wait to meet and learn with new and old friends there 🖤🖤🖤

brilliant friends, brilliant panel. @carlagannis @habitual_truant @creativecommons

What a great discussion we had at @creativecommons symposium on AI and Creativity at NYU last week!!! Was great to have 3 artists on our panel, bringing different points of view. We are not a monolith. @carlagannis has/makes all the best words !! 🥰

This market is terrifying for founders. If you are a non-white man, this fundraising environment is downright predatory for a founder to raise in. Literally, offensive terms on the table in some cases. Real things I have heard second hand (note these have not happened to me directly, but I trust the sources): - Exploding term sheets: Not okay for a bunch of reasons but not giving a founding team time to consider deal terms builds a relationship on the wrong foundation -Strict line that there will be NO negotiation on price or dollars in: It's normal to have a back and forth on these things and should be expected - Back-channeling on founder pay! Groups of investors suggesting that founder comp be outlined in deal terms and locked until the next raise. WHAT? - Crawl backs on VESTED founder equity: I can't even. Seriously, your reputation when times are bad will carry with you when the times are good. Remember that before you screw someone that you need to be motivated to grow your investment.

These folks are using AI to understand animal species communication wow, exciting!! earthspecies.org/
