#dumber
Had this article shared with me today: https://fortune.com/2025/02/11/ai-impact-brain-critical-thinking-microsoft-study/
I went through an array of #emotions. At first, I found it #awkward and #discomforting. I made jokes:
Wait, you mean people aren't thinking #critically and growing #cognitively because the #digitalization of the world is doing it for them....and it's making them (gasps) #dumber!!?? #AI is making it worse?? Is this #Idiocracy? 👀 😞 Am I being #punked right now!? Where's Ashton and the cameras! 📹
Then, I had a deep #selfrealization:
Jokes aside - This is a #sensitive topic for me. I talk about it in my closest circle too often. Unfortunately, I have a front seat to the steep cognitive #decline of some close #friends and #family members for years now, and it makes me sad - not because of disease or "old age", simply because of too much screen time and no new cognitive #stimulation. I see too many people purposefully avoiding nearly anything #cerebral, if they even approach them at all. I have many days where I wish the #Internet didn't exist - for a multitude of reasons, but this is a big one. I'm not trying to be "old fashioned" or #sarcastic, I'm just #disappointed in how we #humanz have grown to depend on #technology as a #crutch, rather than using it as the #tool it was invented to be. As the article eludes to, these technologies are supposed to #complement human #evolution, not #supplement it.
(part 1)
#Dumb, #Dumber, and #Dumberest - the third installment in the series reunites the original cast of the first two, with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels joined by a cousin, who for some reason is played by a digital recreation of Rob Schneider. Plot is unknown, but likely doesn't matter.
Porky's: The Next Generation - a reboot to try to re-establish the franchise on the basis that #sophomoric #comedy has fallen into a rut. Plot has been modernized; since Hollywood no longer plays high school characters as virgins, three friends try to get their buddy to go viral on #TikTok. Stars Austin Butler, Tom Holland, Levi Miller, and Conor Sherry, and is for some reason directed by a digital recreation of Bob Clark.
Promising Young Woman 2 - as the original Promising Young Woman (2020) was unexpectedly profitable, you knew a sequel was coming. Some #retconning was required to re-establish the character of Cassandra, who memorably died in the original film. Carey Mulligan returns for a large paycheque, with an otherwise all-new cast. Script by a digital recreation of Emerald Fennell's cat.
And who said creativity in Hollywood was dead?
3/3
Future of #AI usage
"Hey I used this #prompt to get this #anime char!"
"Hey I use this sound to generate this #music "
"Hey I look swell in this click"
A significant #population embracing #pixels and digital sound for #entertainment without any #effort towards actual #creation
Talk about the entire #world becoming #dumber voluntarily, without necessitating #government #conspiracy
AI creating #art is AI's art, you as a #human being don't get #credit for prompts

#America is a land of law. Ours is a nation founded upon a #constitution from whence all statutes, laws, rules, and regulations that govern our daily lives spring.
Our law-abiding nature is ingrained into us that someone with a #criminal record, even after rehabilitation, cannot secure a gainful employment. But we are about to hire a #thief, a #fraudster, a #rapist, a #traitor, and an #insurrectionist as our #president!
If we are any #dumber, we would be marching our city streets to demand we join the Russian Federation under #Rasputin. Well, we just might, in 2025.🤦♂️
Dear cars, I dub you dumb and dumber.
#Right-#wingnuts say there’s #proof #Obama #killed #JoanRivers for calling him #gay & we’re all a little #dumber now.

Who planned on ChatGPT getting worse?
I think #LLMs have real world uses that we will enjoy for many years to come.
But I also think they’re much #dumber and less impactful than some of the #folks out there #spreading #fear about them.

However it happens, your whole life #putin, will have been for nothing. No #USSR, no #ruzzia. All thanks to you. That's how everyone will remember the man who made the world's 3rd most powerful country fade into #poverty and #hunger. And to know that in the 20 years you might still have to live, you can never change that. Ha! You must be so fucked and you know it. putin, you are the #world's #biggest #idiot. Go look at the #dumbest #YouTuber and know you are #dumber. 😂
We didn’t think #MattGaetz could get any #dumber… until he talked about #dragqueens on #military #bases
Matt Gaetz thinks #dragqueen #storytime is a serious #threat to the #US #military and he wants everyone to know it.

#NHL’s ongoing #PrideNight #jersey #drama just got even #dumber
In recent weeks, three different NHL teams have blamed their string of Pride Night debacles on #Russia’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws. But one of the league’s top execs say there’s zero evidence to support those ridiculous claims.
