WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

31 days of spooky things I like day 4: the art of Stephen Gammell. As an elder Millennial, everyone knew that when the book fair happened at school that you wanted to go find Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark because the art was just so fucking… this. There was something about how mature it felt 🧵

We are at the Delusion/New Paradigm part of the classic bubble graph. We're nearing the point where the AI bubble won't just pop, but utterly crash. pivot-to-ai.com/2026/10/01/a...

The classic graph of a bubble from 2006, by Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue. The graph describes four phases, Stealth, Awareness, Mania, and Blow Off, where the valuation of a company or a sector first grows well, then reaches for the sky until it crashes back to median.

This is a great initiative. @parismarx.com also has a handy guide on how to get away from using US tech. It's regularly updated with new information and it's definitely worth a look if you're wary of the immense power that just a handful of US tech companies wield.

10-panel SMBC comic update. All the panels are dialogue-less. Two researchers are writing equations on a chalkboard. A janitor watches them from afar. The researchers leave as the janitor is still mopping the floor. The janitor walks up to the chalkboard and writes on it with purpose, admires what he wrote, and leave late in the evening. The two researchers return at dawn, and are shocked by what is written on the blackboard. Over their half-erased equations, the text "ChatGPT, do a breakthru, no mistakes, thankx."

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I know there is a hell of a lot going on right now. But not all of it is bad. Some is astonishingly good - like the results of this study from June. Cervical cancer is a terribly cruel thing. This might, at long last, be the beginning of the end of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BBC News headline "Young women now have 'close to zero' risk of cervical cancer death after HPV jab"

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Optipess Archive Dive! “TitsMcGee4782”

Panel 1: The Optipess glasses guy sits at a laptop, looking alarmed as two stern-looking men in dark uniforms enter through an open door behind him. A speech bubble from them shouts, “TitsMcGee4782!” The man turns toward them and nervously asks, “Y-yes?”
Panel 2: One of the uniformed men points accusingly at the glasses guy while asking whether, on March 26, 2014, he posted on an IT tech-support forum begging for help with a very specific computer problem. Glasses guy nervously gestures with his hands and admits, “Uh... yep.”
Panel 3: The interrogator asks whether the man then followed up two hours later by saying, “never mind, I figured it out,” leaving no useful information for anyone who might find the post in the future. Glasses guy shrugs and replies, “Maybe!”
Panel 4: The man is shown tied to a guillotine with his head protruding through the opening. His eyes are wide with fear and his mouth is open in distress. A crowd is visible in the background, while a rope hangs along the right side. Someone is about to pull the rope and release the blade.

It cannot be overstated how much Bret does not make an argument in this column. He does not list a single worthy book he thinks was excluded. He clearly has not read the vast majority of the books. His entire critique is just “these books are written by women and minorities, which is bad”.
