Wildly after reading your article yesterday I received an email from my 1st grader’s teacher letting me know they’d be using Amira for a screening tomorrow. I don’t remember signing anything specific or learning anything about what it does. Maybe in some random form at the beginning of the year?

we really need to start calling out these conservative christians for just straight up not believing in christianity. if you don’t believe christian teaching, nobody is forcing you to call yourself a christian! free yourself!

Trying to use AI at work: wow, maybe this will help make some of my manual processes easier. The AI’s suggestions of what it can do: want me to write your mom a birthday letter?

I’ve been using the Aventon abound lr for these two things (though not at once). I have a 6 and 8 year old and I can take both of them places (they are starting to get a little big for both). I went back and forth on purchasing but I’ve been happy with my choice (got it in December)

Spent a plane ride reading Pope Leo's Encyclical on AI. Many thoughts to share later, but this will stick with me: "The quality of a civilization is measured not by the power of its means, but by the care it is able to offer, by its ability to recognize the other as a face not merely as a function."

Instead of ”oh wow that mansion you own is gorgeous” it’s wow why would you spend that much on that? Why do you need so many homes? So many fancy cars seems like overspending! You went to which tropical vacation while the rest of the populace suffers?

We need more shaming of rich people. Not just about their influence of elections and how they skirt taxes and all email Jeffrey Epstein but also about their lifestyle, the part that most normies actually think are cool.

It was likely written to address the kids raised by iPads and YouTube but may have more to do with how we should treat our devices in the age of LLM AI. It also has some poop jokes that I remember my son enjoyed. I will report back if we watch it again!

The lead gets a broken version of the new cool AI bot which forces him to interact with it in a more traditional toy/playmate role rather than the much more accommodating version that causes isolation amongst his classmates. It was released in 2021 before the LLM craze but may be more relevant now

Been thinking about the non-existent movie "Ron's Gone Wrong". It's deeply flawed but has some interesting stuff to say about devices and AI and their use (as well as a great depiction of childhood loneliness & growing up poorer than your peers). May be time to force the kids to rewatch.

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them! The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

Not only this, but you can't change it in the Apple Music app. No, you need to go into settings, apps, then go into Apple Music, scroll down to Song Transitions, and turn it off. It's like Apple heard about motion smoothing and thought 'yes, we need that!!' Incredible malpractice.

Just got the new iOs update on my iphone and let me tell you it is the wildest decision for Apple to auto turn on AutoMix in Apple Music. This feature doesn't let a song finish but instead transitions it "at the perfect moment". This is maybe a 1000 times worse than putting U2 on everyone's phone?

By far the scariest thing about the story that's emerging is that a young man just decided to murder a major public figure, then was very much able to without a ton of forethought. There are a lot of obvious concerns raised by that story! One of them is not, "Did he know anybody who was trans?"!
