Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Great video from Brandon Sanderson on “AI” art.

I am a pretty anti AI art person, so I'm primed to agree with him, but my overall reaction to this speech is negative. I recognize this was mostly about his personal introspection, and not a fleshed out argument, but there's something about the way he invokes John Henry here, and how be acknowledges the tangible ways this will impact people but very quickly moves past it that I'm not comfortable with.

Well, that was another thread shot straight to hell.

The other day I heard a podcast about how most CEOs don't have a clear strategy for AI deployment so that it is effective. They need the workers to invent it. The same workers whose best interest is on it not having a real impact and just dying out.

Yeah. The best use of “AI” would be in replacing CEOs.

I didn't take is as a thorough or in-depth take down of “AI” generally, but rather specifically about “AI” and art. Especially given the middle section on even if X were fixed, I'd still have a problem with “AI” art. The point is still worth taking to heart. We don't make art for the product, we make art because the process of doing so improves and enriches us as people.

Yeah. The best use of “AI” would be in replacing CEOs.

So now that I'm 'in it' and have to use it, I'm not so sure. Its the people who are just scheduling meetings, taking notes, or filtering that information upward.

Project Managers, and Middle Managers.

The people at the top? They use the AI to get the information they need, and those PM's and Managers? Toast.

It is prophesied that the Burger King must marry the Dairy Queen, and shall have daughter named Wendy, a son named Carl Jr. and they will have two jesters that serve them, one named Ronald who is a clown, and the other named Jack who lives in a box. they will be guarded by the noble Five Guys, and the head of their army will be Colonel Sanders. On their wending day they will be married in their beautiful Olive Garden, and they shall forever live in a pristine White Castle that has a giant Taco Bell hanging from it.

Three Wings for the tailgaters under the sky,
Seven for the bar-lords in their boozy halls,
Nine for morsel men hooked on pie,
One for the Sauce Lord behind dark walls
In the time of football when the chickens die.
One Wing to rule them all, One Wing to boss them,
One Wing to bring them all, and in this kitchen sauce them,
In the time of football when the chickens die.

For real, though, I’ve been trying Korean fried wings at various places the past year, and while they haven’t all been winners, on average, they’ve been better than the more traditional wing joints (like Wing Stop, Buffalo Wild Wings, etc.).

The most recent place I tried, they were some of the best I’ve had, period. They were well seasoned without being over seasoned. Crispy skin with a juicy interior. Nice sauce. And when she saw the basket, my Mom thought they’d given us the wrong order- the drummette sides were almost as big as a legit drumstick.

So if you like wings, look around your stomping grounds to see if you have any Korean chicken joints around. You may be in for a real discovery!

A poorly made AI video endorsing an orange tinted politician interrupted my tiktok scrolling. How rude.
