Sounds great.

According to experts I interviewed, the internet is about to get more frustrating. These agents may cause a cascading chain of problems that shake the foundations of digital infrastructure. Chances are good that you're about to live through an era of online chaos.
The internet was built for humans with limited time and patience. AIs don't have those restraints. You'll probably have to fight with robots over concert tickets and booking appointments. Small businesses could drown in machine-made pestering. AIs don't look at ads, and websites that rely on them are already crumbling. You'll be buried in endless loops of proving you're human. And if you use these AI tools, some may betray you.

I'm not sure if y'all saw a CNN report on how the US had almost started WW3 with China based on fabricated information generated by a chatbot, claiming that a Chinese vessel was carrying components of nuclear weapons. That was an "existential threat" to humanity www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

And since we've been celebrating Stevie and #SongsInTheKeyOfLife 50th anniversary, here's Stevie with a beautiful tribute to Donny:

So much I love bout how he flips this classic, but his tribute to Stevie in the opening moves me every time: "from the Black pool of genius." Even with Stevie's singular brilliance, Donny locates it in the collective.

The only way I'd improve on this is making the trackpad bigger and putting it beneath the CD playing number pad, instead of QWERTY section of the keyboard

Not understanding the why of crate digging really encapsulates the disconnect between those pushing AI and the people they have never convinced to embrace it.

I wonder if Stevie is going to un-vault other treats along the way, and out of all the stuff I assume is in that vault, how he and his team decided on the 4 he wanted to release. I'm loving these and want some more, but more curious about process than being a greedy fan lol

A thread worth reading. So many of us knew this would be as bad, and much worse than Big Tobacco's behavior once sports betting became legal. Much worse because the immediate and long term impacts can wreck so many people's lives. I'm horrified at how much the industry has grown so quickly.
