True not just in publishing/writing. Look at how this new Meta Muse basically jumps into the user's shit, mixes it around, gets it everywhere. Shares their address. Lies to their contacts. Sells their stuff at a low price. Do not let the vampire in. Hang garlic. Sharpen stakes.

The fact that US news outlets do not report every day that Trump is clearly mentally ill is an epic failure of American journalism.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

Teaching AI is not my job. Teaching history is, and more to the point, teaching critical thinking. All these calls to "teach ai" in the classroom treat learning how to use ai as the point of the class, which is the exact opposite of critical thinking. It's teaching students *not* the think.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

Amazing show tonight at berlin in NYC. The tiny club was packed. @robynhitchcock.bsky.social was in fine form and @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social knocked it out of the park with her full band backing her. She closed the show w/a soulful version of "I Will Always Love You," which gave us all chills!

I love the rain & grey clouds over NYC, being a child of the British Isles; the melancholy intimations of autumn are intensified by the passing of many good people lately. Bittersweet is the feeling, and sitting in tonight with two of my boyhood musical heroes, Barry & David, only heightens it.

When I was a kid, Dolly Parton was already famous. I dismissed her back then as too corny and way too country. It took a long time for me to appreciate her as a songwriter. But after that it didn't take long for me to appreciate her as a singer. I've come to admire her as a human recently, too.

My biggest takeaways from The Odyssey: 1) I really want to see this story told from Helen's POV ("I never asked them to do anything, but this is what happens when you give ships to men who can't express their feelings...") 2) There is less product placement than I feared.

Winter prep tip: In Minnesota, we use spray cans of under coating to prevent ice from causing damage. Don't get it get on glass or glass lenses as it blackens them and is difficult to remove. Careful spraying as it can shoot 10 feet. As always, wear a mask 😷, glasses 😎, and gloves. Safety first.

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.
