No, thanks, Google, but in what world would you think it's appropriate to recommend "The Critical Drinker" to me, whose feed is full of "the woke"?

Reading proofs from book & remembering what I wrote in 2015: "I am very concerned about the future of AI. Not because of the risk of rogue machines taking over. But because of the homogeneous, one-dimensional group of men who are currently involved in advancing the technology.”

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

I was trying to explain to friends last week this exact concept, that AI doesn't understand anything. It's just a statistical model based on absurdly huge data sets about what usually comes next. They in unison turned to our friend who codes and loves AI and he said "she's basically right."

For the first time in a while, the Kennedy Center was brimming with life. Thousands of supporters gathered Friday, surrounding as much of the building as they could, in protest of President Trump’s takeover and closure of the venue.

Thousands rally outside shuttered Kennedy Center, chanting ‘Hands off!’

The vigil took place at the end of a week that saw the doors to the marble building locked shut.

Are you really trying to get sympathy after you dropped six figures on a shit vehicle with more failure points due to bad design and/or cutting corners than it has features sold by a genocidal racist homophobe? Fuck off.

My counterpoint to "if you cared about your work, you would crunch" is if you cared about the quality of your game and your workers, you would give them appropriate time to craft it.

That fact you have to act like Kamala Harris was Dick Cheney when Trump literally expanded the genocide in Gaza and is committing war crimes in an illegal war on Iran means you saw a trolley problem, picked maximum death, and blamed Kamala Harris to avoid the fact that you chose the worst outcome.

You know if Democrats wanted to distinguish themselves from DSA they could choose not to attack DSA and instead create a cohesive political ideology and a suite of coherent public policy positions that follow from that ideology, they could meet the current moment by actively opposing Trump

Perry: Republicans fought ‘indoctrination.’ Now they’re telling students what to study.

The conservative attack on higher education in states like Iowa is hard to watch. But it also provides an opportunity for blue states like Minnesota.
