I have been invited to keynote an international conference and they have asked me to talk about AI. I have responded by asking them how much swearing is allowed in a keynote.
@evacide a suitable amount I hope!
@petrillic I would absolutely fly to the other side of the planet to shriek profanities for 45 minutes, but if I'm doing that, I would like the people paying for me to speak to know what's coming.
@evacide consent in everything. And I’d happily pay to hear it.
@evacide @petrillic That sounds like so much fun that I am thinking about attending
@evacide oh boy AI really
@evacide I think swearing would be a given, wouldn’t it?
@deliverator @evacide @ludicity I need to send this to my boss.
I've lost count of how many times he's asked me if I ran that through perpexity. No, I had no plans to run that through perplexity. *points at 15 years of experience*
@evacide ‘Swearing in a keynote is generally not recommended’ according to fucking Copilot.
@errorquark @evacide It therefore carries massive effects. Fucking do it.
@evacide Be robotic, be like a Stepford Wife, have a short-circuit, walk funny, do the whole human-less show, insist that "strawberry" only has 2 r's...
@evacide Start with an expertly crafted narrative that gradually begins including factual errors, non sequiturs, and obvious hallucinations. Evolve the act over time calling them randomly by first names. Occasionally refuse to generate a reply.
You must play this role absolutely straight faced.
Conclude by thanking all the elephants in the room for attending.
@evacide I got invited to AI4 because they literally wanted one person who would swear about AI.
@evacide
You can deliver it in Anglo-Saxon!
Here's hoping the answer is "All of it."
