You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

Seven women are now at the center of this investigation. Five may be dead. No final account has been established. We should not need a million files, a room full of chemicals, and the possibility of a serial killer before missing women become visible. www.swopbehindbars.org/post/seven-w...

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Since yesterday would have been the 90th birthday of the late Jim Henson, and since today marks one month since Dolly Parton died, here they are singing a duet (with Henson voicing Kermit the Frog) on Dolly's variety show in 1987. See you around.

I have found the single reason that could unite most of Bluesky into agreeing Kamala Harris should actually run for president again in 2028 after all www.cnn.com/2026/09/14/p...

Top of mind for Newsom is whether he runs for president in 2028. One of the key parts of that is who else is running, including his fellow San Francisco Democrat, former Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I don’t know if she runs, but we’ll see,” Newsom told me. “I wouldn’t run if she ran.”

The fact that an LLM sounds like a person in a chat window with you does not indicate that it is actually conscious. The fact it can "learn" (assemble new data out of a given data set) is not evidence of consciousness, and if you think that's how human minds work, there's a lot of reading you need.

At this point having every AI person in the country join a sex cult based on "Slave Bear of Carealot" or "Houseplants of Gor" would probably be an improvement. Gor Houseplants don't worship Ayn Rand.
