It's term time again and I'm back in college. One professor has laid out his AI policy: you should not use an AI (presumably Chat GPT) to write your assignment, but you can use an AI to proofread your assignment. This must be mentioned in the acknowledgements. He said in class that in his experience AI does not produce good results and that when asked to write about his particular field it produces work with a lot of mistakes.

Me, I'm just wondering how you can tell the difference between material generated by AI then edited by a human, and material written by a human then edited by an AI.

While googling around for stuff about them I found this article about a sting Hope Not Hate did on them. They produced a slideshow of doom for a fictional wealthy investor, imagining a proposed eugenicist city state on the Isle of Man.

What is it with these people and islands? Bankman-Fried wanted to buy Nauru. I assume none of them realize the inherent economic and planning disadvantages of building your empire on a tiny island....

"pro-LGBT rights" here means "pro Peter Thiel". He gives them a lot of money.

They don't want to make a population level impact on demographics, they want their kids to be the new aristocracy

If nothing else, they'll be able to start a great punk band.

Yikes !

Their attitude to kids, based on that nightmarish Guardian interview, is extremely fucked. Hopefully their children will break the cycle.

I am very sure that the only reason they talk about positive eugenics is because negative eugenics, literally forcing some people to not have kids, is taboo. Then again they are pretty stupid and arrogant so maybe they really believe they're breeding superbabies....

The people of Muskogee will have their revenge on Jack Dorsey

A shame. Seems like they were clearly inspired by it .... I guess you can't copyright a vibe.

I hope Toni Basil and the Ting Tings get big royalty cheques.
