@axbom@axbom.meThe Wire creator David Simon was recently interviewed on NPR by Ari Shapiro. Partly about "AI". A short exchange from that is being shared all over - and it's good, but the full segment about "AI" is even more rewarding I think.
The one that is being widely shared from the transcript is only the first of these three images.

@axbom@axbom.meIt's funny because when I captioned NPR's audio I realised the transcript on their website is wrong.
David Simon does not say:
"You mentioned that."
He said:
"You imagine that?"
As NPR likely use "AI" for their transcripts, this adds an extra layer of irony.
@chrislowles@mastodon.socialThere are a lot of things to applaud the Vanity Fair spread for, the characters in the current US admin they featured, how they responded to literally a transcript of their conversations and a bog standard photoshoot. I think this particular bit on Miller and Anderson got me the most. https://archive.is/Zq7vd

It turns out that there are significant overlaps between a big outdoor gathering, houseless camp support, and disaster response.
Tell yourself you're practicing for the revolution, but also maybe practice some fun.

@cdarwin@c.imTrump just called for the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago to be thrown in prison.
And when Mike Johnson was asked about Trump’s call for their jailing, the speaker evaded and dodged.
It’s becoming jarringly clear that there’s very little in the way of defenses standing in the way of Trump’s escalating authoritarianism.
And yet, at the same time, there is resistance developinginside places like DOJ.
And that matters, even if it doesn’t seem like it at…

@sean@scoat.esDo we have a name for when AI fails at itself?
For example, a YouTube video with “GPT" in the title and the auto/ai-generated transcript says “ChachiBt”, “Chachib”, “Chbt”, and probably other failures.
@vrandecic@mas.toI had made an appointment with the car repair place, but I needed to cancel it. So I called there, and an AI answered. Transcript from memory.
AI: "How can I help you?"
Me: "I need to cancel my appointment on Thursday."
AI: "Sure, what is your name and the exact date of your appointment?"
Me: "Vrandečić. That's V-R-A—"
AI: "Thank you. Your appointment has been cancelled. Can I help you otherwise?"

@CerstinMahlow@mastodon.acm.orgI saw snippets of this “interview,” how much more does it need to remove Trump from the office as he is clearly unfit? It's much more than “I don’t care.” He won’t face any consequences as he will most probably be declared not responsible for his actions due to his mental-medical status. I just hope someone took the red button away from him and they only let him play with golden Lego bricks all day long

@cdarwin@c.imTrump is very, very angry about a New York Times piece
that carefully documents his obvious physical decline.
Trump raged over the piece,
letting out a stream of lies about his performance in office
and even attacking the reporter who wrote the piece as ugly.
This may seem typical of Trump,
but we think it gets at something deeper.
Trump’s entire political mystique is premised on the fiction that he’s a strong, virile, formidable figure

@curiouscat@fosstodon.orgSuch intelligent and thoughtful comments from the Singapore PM. It is embarrassing as a USA citizen how foolish and ignorant our leaders are. We need to elect people with much more integrity and competence as they do in Singapore. Singapore is so well run and the USA is now being run into the ground by extremely bad policy. The damage the USA as done to its future this year is beyond calculation. We will be paying for decades for our foolish votes last year.

We’ve also had another one of these strikes, and it appears just as dubious as the first one.
And Trump announced that strike with an absolutely deranged tweet that should raise alarms everywhere, but isn’t.
Meanwhile, Democrats just introduced a measure to restrain Trump and the prospects for getti…
