In other news, Character.AI has ended up in the news again for allowing school shooter chatbots to flourish on its platform.
You want my off-the-cuff take, this is definitely gonna fuck c.ai’s image even further, and could potentially leave them wide open to a lawsuit.
On a wider front, this is likely gonna give AI another black eye, and push us one step further to the utter destruction of AI as a concept I predicted a couple months ago.

Baldur Bjarnason just put out his interim notes on tech
Reading through his notes, I get the feeling my off-the-cuff predictions from two months ago are very likely to come true - much more likely than I had anticipated. I’m gonna focus on Predictions 2 and 3:
Whether or not tech crashes like I expect, AI’s likely did some serious damage to the notion of “tech/STEM = high-paying job” as it sent the job industry into turmoil ( with junior positions being particularly affected).
Whilst my original post focused on AI turning the public against the tech industry, one thing I didn’t account for was the tech industry directly aligning itself with Trump. As such, tech/STEM’s public image is now firmly intertwined with Trump’s public image - with predictable results.

My hands are requesting the CEO’s home address (in Minecraft real life):
Quick bonus I found in the replies:
And a quick sidenote from me:
This is sorta repeating a previous prediction of mine, but I expect this AI bubble’s gonna utterly tank the public image of tech as a whole. When you develop a tech whose primary use case boils down to “make the world worse so the line can go up”, its gonna be virtually impossible for the public to forgive you.
Being more specific, I expect artists/musicians/creatives in general to be utterly hostile to AI, if not tech as a whole - AI has made their lives significantly harder in a variety of ways, and all signs pointing to the tech industry having done so willingly.

New post from Brian Merchant: No thanks to generative AI, which is about AI-run publisher Spines and their attempt to enshittify the literature world. Pulling a paragraph near the end here:
For another, the needle can move here; if the noise is loud enough, AI publishing can get slapped with a stigma that can at least help slow the erosion of the industry. Public shame can be a powerful tool, when warranted! So yeah: This is why I’m thankful that we’re building this community, and that there are people out there willing to go to the mat to oppose things like the AI-enabled automation of book production. (I fully resent that ‘AI enabled automation of book production’ is a phrase I had to write in 2024.)
Giving my thoughts, I feel Merchant and co. have a headstart when it comes to moving the needle here, for two main reasons:
AI has been thoroughly stripped of whatever “wow factor” - showing off that your gen-AI system can make books isn’t gonna impress Joe Public the way it would’ve back in '22 or '23.
The one-two punch of the slop-nami and the plagiarism lawsuits have indelibly associated “AI” as a concept with “zero effort garbage made of stolen shit” - as a consequence, using or supporting it will immediately disgust a good portion of the crowd right out of the gate
