Corvidae , in NaNoWriMo is in disarray after organizers defend AI writing tools

Has writing the novel changed in the last several decades? It used to be very rare that any given writer would hit the best seller list, everyone else was steered towards taking writing classes or purchasing somewhat pricey seminars. What is the motive to defend AI writing bots? AI isn’t going to be purchasing seminars or taking classes.

“Generative AI empowers not the artist, not the writer, but the tech industry,” Star Wars: Aftermath author Chuck Wendig said in response to NaNoWriMo’s stance. “It steals content to remake content, graverobbing existing material to staple together its Frankensteinian idea of art and story.”

I guess there is a difference between “it’s known to happen” and “a nation state accuses another nation state”

Historically, that was part of the Ukrainian state and Ukraine is just protecting the minority Ukrainians there from genocide.

It’s a special military operation.

Ukraine has a history of trauma against Russia, so we need to factor that in when considering the morality of this conduct.

For a supposed genius, I do get the impression this oligarch keeps taking many corrective measures for his own actions.

SpaceNoodle ,

To be fair, very smart people can say very dumb things outside their areas of expertise.

Also to be fair, Musk isn’t one of those people.

Chainweasel ,

What area of expertise does he have?

I work with rich ego maniacs like him. Mistakes that he does means nothing to his ego. Mistakes that others make are personal attacks.

I have not seen a single indication of genius by Musk. I see a spoiled trust fund man-child in the right place at the right time and who frequently pays other people to come up for ideas for him. I can literally think of dozens of people I’ve known over the years who are far more intelligent and would do much more with his starter funds from daddy.

I am sure I am not the only one who thinks a large amount of his success stems from Peter Thiel wanting to fuck him. And possibly actually fucking him.

mosiacmango ,

Musk came in as “the money guy” to PayPal before Theil was rich. It’s why he was CEO for 6 months, but everyone hated him as a leader so much they fired him.

They all got really, really rich together, and the Elon risked it all on Tesla and survived via government handouts for a decade.

Easy to take big risks when you know you can pop back to dads emerald mine for a fill up at any point.

doughless ,

For someone who likes to think of himself as a modern Nikola Tesla, he acts much more like Edison.

mosiacmango ,

Its always projection. Claims to be a Nikola, is actually a Thomas.

dogslayeggs ,

I’ve been in meetings with him when he was still active at SpaceX and before he truly dove off the deep end. I had direct conversations with him telling him his engineers were wrong about something. He was quite intelligent and knew his shit. He was arrogant and a dick, but it was obvious he knew a LOT about the rockets he was building. He wasn’t doing the engineering, but he definitely understood the work going on.

Now, though, the dude is a fucking lunatic. I don’t know if he just started taking too many drugs or if the billions of dollars made something break in his mind or what, but he was not like this back then.

Ragnarok314159 ,

No, he didn’t. He has no knowledge of rockets outside of Wikipedia. He has no knowledge of engineering outside of some shit science show.

I have worked with engineers who worked with him at Tesla and they say he is a functional idiot, borderline mentally defective. He will go into meeting and act like he understand magnetism and everyone has to sit there awkwardly listening for an hour about him rambling on like a moronic 6th grader until he leaves.

Buffalox , in Elon Musk Deletes Tweet Promoting Tucker Carlson’s Interview With Hitler-Loving ‘Historian’

It’s unknown why exactly Musk chose to delete the tweet but it may have had something to do with the discovery that Cooper has a habit of siding with Adolf Hitler on a number of issues.

That doesn’t sound plausible, Musk frequently sides with Hitler too, so why should that be a problem?

haunte ,

He’s got to keep that plausible deniability smokescreen up… for now. I’m sure he’ll go openly pro-Hitler at some point though.

Grandwolf319 ,

So when I see this headline I thought:

“Does this mean there is a line for him that he wouldn’t cross or was this done to avoid bad optics”

Given the backlash we are seeing for the Tucker Carlson thing, it’s probably the ladder.

rayyy ,

Musk also sides with Russia and money.

Those kids needed guns to defend themselves. It’s clear that the best way to solve the firearms problem is to give more firearms so people with firearms can defend from people with firearms.

I wonder if there might be some kind of flaw in my reasoning…

To save you visiting the hellscape that is The Independent: those 3 words were “What the fuck?” Nothing really remarkable.

Buddahriffic ,

Could have fit that right in the headline without even increasing the number of words.

Thank you for your service.

KillingTimeItself ,

perfectly remarkable, i think.

A_Random_Idiot ,

i mean, its pretty obvious what the 3 words were just given the context of the title.

Sweetpeaches69 ,

Damn. He could have gone with, “Fuck Ron Desantis.”

BruceTwarzen ,

These headlines here are becoming some google news clickbait titles.
