You know it was the local community who took down the "Night Stalker" serial killer in LA. They were sick of being terrorized.

The MIT Museum, which I can’t recommend highly enough, has some things to say. The big poster below was produced by the MIT Office of Design Services circa 1970.

No spoilers. You’ll have to come to the MIT Museum to find out what’s up with the pink chicken.

It’s amazing how often older women are chosen as the stand-in to represent people who aren’t technical or expert enough to understand. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

As spotted on the bridge to MIT. I've always thought there was a lot of cultural cross-over between MIT and UChicago. I'm thinking of my favorite law school t-shirt: "Where Hell Freezes Over." 😂

And Harvard is apparently “fostering crime.”

This what happens when you elect a fascist dingdong for President who then appoints a pro-wrestling executive as Secretary of Education.

I mean, is this AI or is this just a good old-fashioned algorithm? I suppose there may be training data, and model weights, and nodes, and layers involved in my gym's software, making it "AI." OK. (Image from the fabulous explainer @butwhai? on youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-8Z...)

Tonight’s reading, for giggles

I am so eager to read ‘Empires of AI’ by Karen Hao. She makes an interesting argument that the current model of AI development is a form of colonialism, and I want to learn more. Fascinating conversation in this podcast episode with Ed Zitron:

I love dogs. I love public transportation. I also think you shouldn’t be able to being a giant pitbull (?) onto a packed train during rush hour.

LA-area ports are going to get hit hard. This will affect manufacturing supply chains (and the people who serve them, e.g. long-haul truck drivers) across the whole country. www.portoflosangeles.org/business/sta....
