As a Canadian I knew it was happening, but I never tuned in or anything like that.

To be frank, all seances are designed to scam the grieving, AI or otherwise. If AI threatens the psychic industry I say let them fight.

Life imitating “art” I suppose because There’s actually a Death Note musical.

A shorter sneer for the back of the hardcover edition

How.

And half the time that little Timmy got stuffed into a locker or dunked into a toilet, he fucking deserved it.

Little Timmy: Gets shoved in a locker.

You: You probably deserved it because you want to install the Fourth Reich.

Of course, the person shoving little Timmy into a locker is a paragon of virtue and will become a well adjusted person in society.

If you’ve ever been bullied in life I’d be surprised.

So did the series actually end or did it just sort of stop?

Nvidia’s current downturn is probably moreso due to the disastrous launch of it’s 5000 series rather than AI.

If it was AI I’m guessing the drop would be larger.

Thing is, that by December 2023, the time of the archive, there was already a scandal with someone using ChatGPT to do the work of discovery. While he might have stopped doing PR work for DoNotPay by that time, he was willing to advertise the fact that he did do such PR work for such a company. It shows either a lack of due diligence in researching his clients, or maybe it was just a paycheque for him. Perhaps he thought he knew more than what he actually did. Or maybe there was something else, I’m not clairvoyant.
It’s clear that he’s pivoted from that viewpoint, but it does make me curious what happened between then and now that caused him to become skeptical.

According to the archived website, he did do PR for DoNotPay, which is advertised as “The first robot lawyer.”
It’s certainly possible though that at the time he thought there was more potential for this sort of AI than there actually was, though that could also mean that his flip is relatively recent.

Or maybe it’s something else.

Was there more than that tweet or was it really just “UPDATED ROADMAP: SOMETIME, EVENTUALLY!”

Shows up as “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)” for me.

TBF what’s the difference between a “AI” seance and a “real” one? It’s not like one is less of a grift than the other.

Took me a moment.
