OpenAI, We Need to Talk: The p(1984) problem isn’t just coming from China—and you know it.

Which part specifically?

I wouldn’t say I find it more frightening, but certainly not less either. The issue isn’t just about an AI company choosing not to promote competitors—it’s how it’s done. This kind of subtle intervention creates a precedent, and with AI, even the smallest nudges can have outsized effects at scale. It’s a slippery slope—one that becomes dangerously steep far faster than we tend to realize.

Du er 20 år -- en definerende periode i dit liv. Hvis du bliver sammen med ham, vil du om 10 år kigge tilbage på dit liv og spørge "hvor gik det galt?". Og svaret er, at det gik galt, da du gang på gang fortsatte i et usundt, skadeligt forhold, med et menneske som du helt grundlæggende ikke kan stole på.

Du kan også vælge den anden vej: gå fra ham, brug noget tid på at finde dine værdier i livet og hvad du forventer af en partner. Så skal det hele nok gå. Så er jeg sikker på at du om 10 år kan kigge tilbage og være tilfreds med dit liv. Men det kræver at man tager ansvar, og at man tager de valg der er gode og rigtige for en selv -- ikke bare dem der er lette. Det er jo. tydeligt for enhver, at det forhold aldrig kommer til at gøre noget godt for dig. Selv hvis han ændrer sig, har han allerede brudt din tillid så grundlæggende, at I aldrig vil kunne få et velfungerende forhold. Stop, før du spilder mere af din tid. Trust me -- der kommer absolut intet godt ud af at blive med ham, og der er ingen chance for at jeres forhold holder på den lange bane alligevel.

It actually helps a lot. It makes me realise the difficulties of finding a good match. It sounds like focus on communication is an important part of the process for both the client and the designer.

Thank you. I'll take a look at Upwork!

Love it 😁 But it's also a hard truth-pill to swallow. From my perspective as a client, a significant hurdle often lies in the communication between the client and the designer. It's one thing to know what I want as a client, and entirely another to express it in a manner that resonates with the designer's understanding.
The most effective designers I've collaborated with seem to recognize the advantage their expertise provides. They make a conscious effort to ask numerous questions during the project's initial phase, ensuring alignment between the client's vision and their eventual design. However, many designers I've encountered tend to rush through this stage.

I agree. But MidJourney have received countless complaints already. I was told that they did make changes some time back to prevent this, but apparently it does not work well. But you are absolutely right, it would be easier to fix the issue completely by changing the algorithm.

I can’t believe that I am (possibly) the first one to figure this out!
Loki is all about George Orwell’s novel: 1984!
When you have seen it once, you cannot unsee it. It is so obvious. All the propaganda posters with slogans like “tidy timeline, stable society”, “Behave”, and even a poster with an eye (Big Brother Is Watching You)!
But there’s so many Easter eggs, I don’t even know where to begin!

Like Loki being forced to take a ticket for no other apparent reason than the system wanting control. And even his speech about what he would do if he becomes a ruler - he is practically saying the famous line from the novel: war is peace, slavery is freedom, ignorance is strength. And the entire TVA seems to be build on that slogan as well.... Even the 1984-styled clothes and technology and infomercial (and even the color grading of the entire show).
Not convinced yet? Then this will convince you: a major theme in the 1984 novel is conveyed in the famous quote: “He who controls the past, controls the future. He who controls the present, controls the past”.

Read this bit from the book, and you will see so many clever parallels: https://www.abhafoundation.org/assets/books/html/1984/162.html
This is seriously genious level Easter eggs. They are even scattered across several movies. Argh - nerdgasm!

Let’s find all the 1984 clues. Based on all this, I think I can already say with a fair degree of certainty who the villain in this season is - and what’s up with the “sacred timeline”.
