I write about the semiconductor industry for CRN from the lovely state of Maine. But I post here about a lot of other things, like video games, dad stuff, retro PCs, politics, music and TV shows.

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

I don't necessarily need it to be free, but I am paying $42,400 for an entire year of daycare for an infant and a pre-schooler, and it is just FUCKING INSANE. My wife and I have good salaries, and this is still a major strain on our finances! Imagine how it is for people who make less or far less!

I loved Zach Cregger's Weapons. I'm not so sure about Resident Evil. It was fun, and I laughed, but I think the CG took me out of it at times and actually diminished the sense of danger. I'm also wondering if the hype and reading too many reviews altered the way I watched the movie.

The divergence of opinion over Control Resonant is so interesting to me. What I've read so far makes me think I will probably like it. I'm going to play the game regardless since I'm a Remedy sicko. I just have to wait for the physical release for a few weeks.
