WB did worse under his tenure, failed to meet the goals he set when he acquired it, and has been sold for scrap. And yet he'll have been paid over a billion dollars for his work there. Something is fundamentally broken in our society.

Worth pointing out that "I'm going to ask you some hard questions about your paper" is very much an anti-AI technique whether or not he claims it is. It's what most profs I know are doing for that exact reason.

Amazon is a big part of this. They use their (essentially) monopoly buying power to squeeze publishers. Bezos's billions are, in part, extracted from writers. Don't buy your books from Amazon.

I suspect being wrongly convinced you were stolen from sucks close to as much as actually being stolen from. In some ways (the absence of a bad guy, impossibility of closure) it might even be worse. So often I feel for them even while not finding the claims particularly credible.

So the weather forecasting these last few days has just been awful in LA. Completely missing a lot of rain, which basically never happens. Is this a function of national cuts or just because the situation with the hurricane track was so unusual? (Any insight, @weatherwest.bsky.social?)

Today has been the strangest weather day I can remember. Since 11am, the forecast has been that the rain would be over very soon. Wunderground is normally incredibly accurate about this kind of thing. Every time I've checked, "Yup, after this cloudburst, no more." It's still raining.

Once I saw a rice cooker that was designed for, like, a normal amount of rice. Dinner for 1-2, without leftovers. I think it could do 1/2 a cup. Maybe even 1/3rd. Periodically I have searched for this item since. I now wonder if it really existed, or was just a figment of my imagination.

OpenAI has repeatedly used the claim that their software is too dangerous to release as a way to build hype. This is (at least) the third or fourth time they've played this tune. I've honestly lost count. These claims should be taken as marketing.

I feel for anybody who honestly thinks their work has been plagiarized, which has to suck regardless of whether they're right. But man, the batting average for people whose approach to thinking they were plagiarized is "P.R. war" is, once you look into the claims deeply, very very close to zero.
