Wireless Festival boss defends Kanye West appearance
The managing director of Wireless Festival has defended the decision to choose Kanye West as a headliner, encouraging people to offer the rapper "forgiveness". It follows a backlash over West's scheduled appearance in July, which has seen sponsors pull out of the London event and criticism from politicians. The star released a song called Heil Hitler and sold swastika T-shirts last year. He later apologised and blamed his bipolar disorder.
I've worked in/around the mental health world for many years. It's been my job to teach the nuances of it to qualified medics. I'm very much aware that there are literally thousands of way in which symptoms of a mental health disorder can manifest.
To my knowledge, 'merchandise' isn't one of them.
Dear hotel bathroom designers
It may look stylish, but if the featureless steel block that is apparently a tap will only dispense hot water by stroking the rear quadrant thrice widdershins, you should include instructions for the average guest who doesn't have a Masters degree in Escherian geometry
I'm wary of AI but I never understood this charge. If training an LLM on human-authored works is plagiarism, doesn't that also apply to a human training their own writing skills by reading?
Never understood the issue of AI burning through millions of litres of fresh water. People were just going to drink it anyway, what's the difference?
And there's also the potential for indirect benefits/uses, like the Japanese bakery software developed to visually differentiate between croissants, rolls etc that was adapted to detect cancer cells in tissue samples.
I don't doubt there are plenty of legitimate, genuine uses for AI tools, and they could be/are of great value if applied and used effectively. But including that would have undermined the joke I was making.
Right? It's like the MRA guys who insist that women are inherently 'inferior'. Why are you so apoplectic about them getting opportunities if you're so sure they won't be able to cope with anything? Just let them crash and burn, as they inevitably will. Apparently.
In fact, I'm pretty much only getting ads for AI tools and gambling services at present
So my options are 'something that produces nothing of any worth, and exists solely to funnel profits to a select few at tremendous broad-spectrum cost to the users', and another one.
It's also hard to reconcile the insistence that AI is 'inevitable' and we 'must' accept using it for everything, with the fact that I'm constantly getting bombarded with increasingly-frantic-and-desperate-sounding ads for AI tools whenever I deign to go online.
"It's just a clickbait headline, you shouldn't take it so seriously and read more into it, there's a lot more nuance to this!" - People treating my 19 word snarky gag comment with all the gravity of a message carved into a recently discovered alien obelisk.

The old Microsoft paperclip 'clippy', saying It looks like you re 、 tryingto land on the moon Would you like some help with that?
Should have seen this coming
15 years later, it's still etched into my cortex. You need more than bleach.
I literally do not know how to even access ChatGPT.
This take is tantamount to the article I read in the 2010s (in I *think* New Statesmen, but wouldn't swear to it) which began with "Let's me honest, we all fancy George Osborne."
Nooooooooooooooooope

You wrote a novel using AI? Cool. It's like that time I ran a marathon using a Ford Focus.

Today I saw a newer model BMW with a personalised license plate that said 'BMW'.
I'm not sure what this deeply tragic phenomenon is called, but this is surely the apex of it?
Actually, I probably shouldn't encourage antagonising the major book sellers of the UK too enthusiastically.
If you guys could maybe buy a few copies from Waterstones, that should keep me in their good books (in every sense)

I wholeheartedly support and appreciate this guerrilla marketing effort.
Protest works, people! Up with this sort of thing!
It's probably why my teen self spent far too long assuming women perceived their own breasts as like a second pair of oversized eyeballs, given how hyperaware they were of them at all times. Apparently.
It really does. And as a literal man who writes stuff, if *I* find it unsettling...
The 'sexy lamp' trope immediately gets cranked up to maximum and stays there
Exact same. I've tried with so much of it, the classic stuff I *should* read, supposedly. But I usually get a chapter or two in before the undercurrent of "had you, like, never had an actual human interaction before writing this?" becomes too distracting
I've read a lot of hard sci fi, and one regular experience is the realisation "OK, so this guy doesn't like actual humans very much"
