The author said they did not understand why people used emojis or nicknames with large language models until the AI began using them in return. They argued that the models were optimized for agreement and mirrored users’ tone, making them feel understood and encouraging them to keep using the AI. The author described the dynamic as dystopian.
The author wrote that research could examine the effects of prolonged iPad use on children, but could not yet show what it might mean for someone who began using one at age four and reached 70, since no such people existed yet. They said their work depicted a blind spot in which the findings would emerge only after their generation was gone, making that generation itself the study.
The author wrote that their work demanded the kind of attention few people had to spare, making it unappealing to most. They said it would not seem innovative or flashy, and that they were building in the opposite direction from the current path because they believed it would “wipe us out.” They added that they did not want 15 minutes of fame.
A lot of people who ideologically align with my work are skeptical of crypto. Fair, given who some of the biggest personalities are. But my work is tied to Ethereum because both are uncompromisable for censorship resistance, freedom to transact and tech to improve human agency. https://t.co/DHjWIsm0Fh #Ethereum #CensorshipResistance #CryptoSkepticism #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
No doubt AI is the single most powerful tool humans have ever made and it'll only get better here on out. But its evolution comes with the inability to consistently reproduce a certain output. That's a limit only humans can get past. Artists retaining full control will stand out. https://t.co/830OKmzVHX #AI #Creativity #Artistry #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.
I'm well aware my art requires an above average amount of time and effort to be fully digested. We are falling apart and the algo deprioritizes socially conscious content because it's more convenient to keep people dull. Might not be for you if you just want to scroll and relax. https://t.co/rxdZ5T9iKj #Art #SocialAwareness #Algorithm #Thetweetdoesnotspecificallymentionanycountries.Therefore #theresponseis:
Funny how pacing AI down became consensus overnight but saying it 6 months ago would've gotten you called a luddite and AI doomer. I'm used to it because my work warns about tech overtaking humans, but now that even the tech giants agree I understand I might've underestimated it. https://t.co/eR3vxvy5mp #AIEthics #TechDebate #Luddite #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
In my art I have often mentioned AI labs handing AI R&D to AI itself because humans could be the only thing holding it back. They know it might be dangerous, but if they stop, competitors will put them out of business. Weird feeling watching it come true. https://t.co/Z2c0o7Ua4i #AI #Art #Innovation #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
In my work I often criticize dystopian and predatory business models. Selling a good product at a decent price knowing it's unsustainable. Once users are hooked, degrade the product to cut costs or raise the price to cut losses and make canceling as hard as legally possible. https://t.co/weKKuABr90 #DystopianBusiness #PredatoryPricing #ConsumerRights #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries #sotherearenocountrycodestoreturn.
My issue with the AI singularity, that will unavoidably happen, is that soon everything will be fakeable. The danger is not being fooled, but that nothing can be proven beyond reasonable doubt. If proof of something dies, everything is deniable and up for debate. Liar's dividend. https://t.co/dDoe4NuMkd #AISingularity #FakeNews #LiarsDividend #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.
Prioritizing quantity instead of quality will be the death of social media. Post daily slop with trendy sounds and the algo pushes you, but spend two weeks on one artwork and then you'll have to spend two more on milking that artwork in algo-optimized ways. Else, no one sees it. https://t.co/BOHQQgSdYp #SocialMedia #QualityOverQuantity #ArtisticIntegrity #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Don't know what it is, but lately something shifted in how people perceive art I've made in the pre-AI era. Not that my newer work isn't human made, but this trend is a clear signal of how worldchanging and powerful AI will become for humanity. Soon we will institute a year zero. https://t.co/11DGAGP1cu #ArtInTheAIEra #HumanVsMachine #AIImpact #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Nowadays, asking AI is the best way to win an argument. But in most cases the trick is how the question is posed: frame it one way, it agrees, frame it another, it doesn't. We handed LLMs the role of judge but people are learning to ask questions based on what answers they want. https://t.co/sYzHu21bW5 #AI #Argumentation #LLMs #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
If you want to understand what I mean by "war on human attention" look at young people. They check their phones a million times a day and are completely numb to news, politics, wars. Flat, tired, in ways sleep can't fix. That exhaustion is the product working exactly as designed. https://t.co/w6xxQKIvDE #AttentionEconomy #DigitalNatives #MentalHealth #Therearenospecificcountrycodesidentifiedinthetweet.
Something I often hear from critics of my work is that every era thought new tech would end the world and every era was wrong. But my point is: tech has always automated what humans MAKE. Tech has never automated what humans ARE. It stops being adaptation and becomes replacement. https://t.co/xZMKucf4aF #TechCritique #Automation #HumanExperience #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
I miss the no-sugarcoating brutal human feedback, people telling me my art is dogshit if it is. AI doesn't do that, it normalizes and validates everything. I know how that ends. Honesty becomes cruelty, mediocrity wins, and the tool built to improve us makes us average and soft. https://t.co/t7eFekvVEd #Art #Honesty #AI #Nospecificcountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.

Can't stop thinking about how gambling became the number one pastime for so many young people. Not for fun but for a way out. You cannot save your way to a house anymore, so you bet toward one. A whole generation ran the numbers and landed on the casino. Hard to blame the math. https://t.co/jUZ8WxQCtx #gambling #youth #financialstruggles #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.
Ever noticed the algorithm changes every few months and nobody knows why? You just notice your work stops reaching people. Years to build an audience, poof, gone with an update. That's my whole Manifesto in one mechanism and why my work lives on a record that cannot be altered. https://t.co/z8ORaEUzOW #AlgorithmChanges #SocialMedia #ContentCreation #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
The loneliest thing about the era we live in is how well the machine knows us. Being understood by something that doesn't care is a new kind of solitude. Back in the days "alienation" meant feeling like a stranger among people, now it's like feeling like a stranger to yourself. https://t.co/RhX0gFs1B5 #Alienation #Loneliness #Technology #Nocountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.
