The gen AI Kool-Aid tastes like eugenics

Like many people, director Valerie Veatch was intrigued when OpenAI first released its Sora text-to-video generative AI model to the public in 2024.

Tell someone you find it easier to connect with animals than with most people and watch what happens to their face. There’s a brief recalibration. A polite smile that’s doing a little extra work. Maybe a joke about becoming a hermit with cats. The social shorthand for what you just said is well established, and ... Read more Read more

Psychology says the people who command the most respect in any room aren’t the ones who talk the most or the loudest — they’re the ones who can sit through an entire conversation without once redirecting attention back to themselves
