Going to work now feels like doing homework after the teacher quit and told the class that education is fake. Everyone just coasting on inertia and hoping there's still a point to all this

Meta's platforms have repeatedly been caught running ads for deepfake "nudify" apps that let you virtually undress real people without their consent, but they won't run an a trailer for an upcoming documentary that reflects poorly on Elon Musk. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

4 years of truly abysmal people insisting this isn't how any of this works, how new and transformative content is being served, and finally there's the documentation of the people behind this crime saying "nah it's all theft, hope we get away with it"

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

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

Former folding phone owner: they're more fragile than a regular phone. The big screen is cool. But ehhhhhh use a laptop for anything big (my only use for the foldout ended up being occasional ssh sessions) I'm not sure you'll need it where you're going. ((Ominous))

My shortlist is 1, 2, 4 & 7. I think 3 is a bit too dark. I like 5 & 6 but they're a bit dishevelled and I'm not sure they're saying anything very loud about you as an author? 7 is hot and maybe risks being meme-y but it really does stand out and sex sells haha. I think my favourite is still 2

Cullen is always going to be remembered for his role as Optimus Prime more than any others. But one thing he brought to life, through empathy and understanding, and through his brother's advise, was an understanding that leadership, real leadership, real strength, requires gentleness.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Listen, if you’re not happy single, you won’t be happy in a relationship either, happiness comes from picking a new hobby and then buying all the things to start that hobby then finding the perfect little storage container for those things and then putting that storage container in the spare room

Former Amazon employee here and I've always hated Bezo's "out of his garage" myth. After Princeton he was 10 years into his career in finance, he and his spouse were were execs for D.E. Shaw, he was a senior VP - he then RENTED A COMMERCIAL GARAGE specifically to build the business in.

They said straight up they wanted to disenfranchise women and people of color. They said they wanted to dismantle the federal government. And the likes of Thiel funded them for building the plans on how to do it. And _nobody cared_ when this shit was pointed out. People thought you were crazy.

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.

The eclipse in Spain, from Burgo de Osma. Very cool to see it over this old castle

Four friends on a dusty hilltop in Spain using eclipse glasses to look over the camera at the sun

The sun, eclipsed by the moon, over the plains of Spain; there's a castle in the midground there

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.
