It’s clear: contemporary women and girls are being disproportionately harmed and fucked over by generative AI technology and the shitty way humans immediately use it. Anyone in the AI industry who is surprised at this turn of events is part of the problem, in one way or another, and needs to examine themselves and their arrogant lack of perspective, respect, and consideration for the myriad dangers of this technology to our society. With blackest sarcasm, I thank the nascent AI industry for this additional burden women are expected to carry in our post-Roe American society.

Speaking of lack of perspective and the concept of rushing into the implementation of morally dubious technology:

No offense, ‘Oppenheimer’, but IMO, ‘Godzilla-1’ (especially the B&W version) is a stronger, better, more eloquent film about the creation and use of atomic weapons, and of war itself. It widens the scope and more effectively interprets the struggle between brutalism and nobility in humanity than ‘Oppenheimer’. Not only is it more artistically ambitious with its use of analogies, ‘Godzilla-1’ does this in a way that is universally and compellingly human to all audiences. By contrast, the conventionality of the factual historical narrative approach in Nolan’s depiction of the troubling yet understandable lack of perspective involved in the use of atomic weapons in WWII undermines its overall impact. While I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of comparing and contrasting ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ in one day of moviegoing, I also think ‘Godzilla-1’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ would be an interesting double feature, to say the least.
