I'm imagining that last Tesla earnings call with Musk holding 2 soup cans in a flop sweat.

I keep reading the headline as "copulating" and giggling. Sorry.

1 - prove a thing exists (AI doctors) 2 - discuss the properties of a thing (AI doctors)

VISA-blocked AI

How does this even occur to someone? What a weird phrase.

Excellent, well-informed take here from the replies:

In the case of drugs, no one really goes to jail fo doing drugs, only selling them.

We are materially focused, for a reason – to open the aperture on how we may choose to live amid material abundance. ... Material abundance from markets and technology opens the space for religion, for politics, and for choices of how to live, socially and individually.

Ah yes, material abundance like living in America's most expensive ZIP code, a neighborhood with an average home price of $8mm and saying this about affordable housing:

"Please IMMEDIATELY REMOVE all multifamily overlay zoning projects from the Housing Element which will be submitted to the state in July," Andreessen and his wife, Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, said via an email to the mayor and city council. "They will MASSIVELY decrease our home values, the quality of life of ourselves and our neighbors and IMMENSELY increase the noise pollution and traffic."

These guys.

Exactly this. Generative AI shows that most people doing technical work are men? It probably also shows that most construction workers are men, most social workers are women, etc.. Guess what, that reflects reality. If you want something else? You can ask for it. "Picture of a woman welding." "Picture of a black, male social worker." You'll get it, no problem.

Over on Mastodon I linked to an NPR article where they kept asking Midjourney to generate images of BLACK doctors treating WHITE children in Africa and it was largely unable to do so, even with the prompts. Not "no problem," but Midjourney sometimes literally interspersed Giraffes and Elephants into images with Black doctors.
