The music teacher gave our children recorders on the same week as fall break. So it's a prank war now I guess.

I feel like an element of this that gets under-discussed is that if we had national healthcare more people would be willing to start a business or work contract or freelance because we wouldn't absolutely need to find a job with health insurance.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Most arguments for ai start with the premise that it will be better in the future but so far it’s only made things that worked fine already worse.

As a defender of traditional gender roles, I am concerned that Ed is promoting Finding Nemo, where Marlin stays male after his wife died. When the dominant female dies the largest male clownfish turns female. This is basic biology! I don't want my child to grow up confused about clownfish.

This is a thread about ai “notetakers” but it also explains why I’m so confused when students ask me for “the notes” from class. My notes are not likely to do much for your learning. Making your own is how you figure out the material.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

How long has it been since you've seen the original "Jurassic Park"?

SAM NEILL The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside Princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening.
On the other side of me was my son Tim - he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft was drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, "Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy's fart, but she's going to think it's me. I am going to be subliminally blamed for my son's crimes, and I don't think she'll talk to me afterwards." But she was well brought up and never mentioned it.
JEFF GOLDBLUM I love that story, Sam.
I've heard him tell that a couple of times, and it's just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.

I believe in religious education— my kid goes to Christian school, as did I. But it’s not the government’s job to introduce these stories and beliefs and I don’t trust the government to do it responsibly. If it’s important to you, do it in your own interpretive community.
