lol, the age of total homogeneity is underway
the age of endless simulation
I’m gonna get hired to do this and I’m just going to not use the AI, I’ll write hundreds of very good, heartfelt ideas and say ChatGPT gave them to me.
I was going to do the same but with more pot and less effort and more accurate to what the computer would do:
A crash bandicoot biopic
A darkwing duck reboot
The Simpsons but legally distinct and set in medieval times
Hung, but with more penis
Beavis and Butthead but it’s movie reviews for current movies. Oh wait I guess that’s just cinema sins with more poop jokes.
hire this personA darkwing duck reboot
Yes please.
The Simpsons but legally distinct and set in medieval times
Sounds like what I did with The Sims Medieval.
there is/was a show like this already… i forgot the name of it
even if they’re bad you can blame the ai
Ah, the ol’ Joseph Smith switcheroo
This is 100% just one of those “jobs” that the boss’ failson was always going to get, they just legally needed to put out an offer for it so they don’t get done for corruption or nepotism. These have always existed in tv production.
Be ready to hear rehashed tracks that sound like royalty free stuff you see on every youtubw video and lifeless characters
Considering how most of the new shows on ITV are a parade of “gritty” cop shows with the same basic structure and handful of archetypes, I’m surprised they hadn’t started firing up the treat printer already.
Prompt: a cop who crossed the line and is trying to get the bad guy but the pencil pushers and their regulations won’t let him do his job. He has a partner that is a political novelty that he trades banter with.
Pay me.
There is a bad cop secretly undermining his efforts to catch the killer for reasons that will slowly be teased out until you stop caring.
B-plot about the cop’s shitty relationship with his child that is slipping into doing a crime.
Set it in rural Yorkshire, the spectre of mass police violence during the miner’s strike will vaguely haunt the background but never be properly addressed. The townsfolk distrust the police because they have something to hide, no other reason.
There may be a fridged wife or an estranged teenage daughter that the camera can’t stop
at, and the grizzled dudebro cop will put his family back together with racism-coded violence! 
I think I might be a garbage AI accelerationist. If the total inundation of LLM slop makes the internet and cable television unusable, maybe people will go back outside and interact with each other face to face again…?
maybe people will go back outside and interact with each other face to face again…?
Maybe… though they’d be outside in an increasingly privatized, polluted, and climate-collapsing environment being accelerated by data centers churning out LLM slop.
Hopefully that will bring more attention and popular sentiment?? Idk I’m just grasping for silver linings haha.
I feel like for a while we lived in this objectivist internet zeitgeist where Google was a source of Truth, but seeing its ad- and AI-driven enshittification seems to be ushering in a new era where searching is just… harder and worse. Similarly, Twitter was once THE forum for Information And Discourse, and we no longer have that… We’re seeing an interesting Tower of Babel moment for the internet, and as it extends to other forms of media I can’t help but wonder how many people will simply drift away from it, as they were never power users to begin with.
Maybe I’m just a prisoner of the moment and new search engines and fora / social media will pop up to take their place, but I’m rooting for the outcome where people start to feel like nothing on their devices is interesting anymore, so they opt to put them down.
if that were the case i think we’d already be there
there is nothing but absolute trash on tv and people seem quite ok with it. even if they say they hate it they still watch it anyway
Possadism with Silicone Valley characteristics?
Hahaha
but only bc they canceled How To With John Wilson
ITV shows about to become 30% more
Literally looking for an ideas guy. Sound investment
“ChatGPT, make interesting and engaging video content!”
“I’m sorry, that prompt is too vague for my current capabilities.”
“ChatGPT, uhh, produce a manual for how to use ChatGPT to create interesting and engaging video content” “I’m sorry, that’s not within my capabilities.”
“What?! What part?” “Any/all of it…”The techbros want to abolish labor as thoroughly as possible, full stop.
Replacing scores, if not hundreds, of jobs for one computer toucher churning out utter fucking slop is therefore a good thing for techbros.
And the worst part is they’re gonna be allowed to try to replace people.
No matter how many times medical scientists will explain how sample analysis can’t be automated away, or artists point out how their process is more than just mushing together predigested art, or (in one particularly ghoulish example I saw) suicide hotlines can’t be replaced with chatbots.
The capitalist class is gonna jam generative AIs into places they don’t belong in their manic pursuit of free market efficiency and it’s gonna make everything worse and less convenient.

It isn’t just ruling class assholes believing this, either.
One of the worst computer toucher takes I’ve ever had to read here was someone saying that computer programming and specifically software engineering could, should, and very soon would replace the entirety of psychology and psychiatry because wildly waving hands dae le human brain is meat computer dae le problems in human brain are programming errors.
Holy shit, for suicide hotlines? I’m just imagining a “yes man” FNV ai who is supportive of you in a snarky way.
And to make things worse, at least one of these chatbot suicide hotlines has been caught selling off user data.

my partner’s company hired a CTO about 7 months ago in a bid to try to shore up their bullshit claims of using AI to help discover better drug building blocks quicker.
They made that claim from the inception of the company but never once did they actually have a working AI model that produced results even equal with pure chance.
The new CTO came in and said he could automate away the jobs of the medicinal chemists who are the ones who use their insight and knowledge to tweak molecules to actually find and test drug candidates. There was mutiny across the whole company as nobody in their right mind believes that it can be done, especially not in a cost effective way that isn’t just blindly brute forcing.
Now the company is on its last breath as they’ve laid off everyone except the top brass who are praying someone buys their non existent AI platform so they can get a little golden parachute.
AI is the new snake oil.
i don’t think the techbros want anything but the millions in stock options… they’re just as short sighted as everyone else
the guys at the top are in the same club as the rest of the ultra wealthy tho and they are all in lockstep with making the rest of us redundant
i don’t think the techbros want anything but the millions in stock options
Some want a robot god of the future to serve as their all-powerful and all-knowing mommy bangmaid that also unconditionally loves them.
[The motor carriage’s] wheels crunch on the snow; inside, in the warm cabin, sits the well-known minimalist and deaf music critic Åre Åkerlund, Jesper’s colleague from his office days. His prospects don’t look bright. It’s almost impossible to plagiarise music record reviews from the West if no new records are being made. But Åre Åkerlund does a lot of cocaine, and that, as we know, makes one very intelligent. The social climate is different now, but consumption as such remains. This means that there’s still room for advertising. Åre Åkerlund lays the foundation for the later world-famous Ideas Laboratory in Vaasa, an advertising agency that produces ideas for advertisements instead of actual advertising. Someone else will actually create the ads later. In a few months, a masterpiece of apocalyptic advertising will be born from the Ideas Laboratory. The transport giant ZAMM’s interisolary campaign is also getting started in the Nordic countries, with the slogan “Escape! It’s not too late.”
Sacred And Terrible Air, Chapter 15 “Mould”
bruh I thought that was from the Strugatsky Brothers or Vonnegut or somethin
then I looked it up
geniuses
Ok but hear me out…
Ai generated communist propaganda would be fucking hilarious
genuinely hope they continue underpaying because the only hope is that the Ayatollah cripples our nuclear military infrastructure with some email phishing hack before we nuke Tehran.
Ironically the AI will be better at this than people. I trust the Wikipedia drippings an AI will make more than a coked up business man.
