of course i was furious at first. but, when those weird little slaves performed that musical number about my son's irredeemable character flaw (loves taffy in an annoying way), i had to admit.. it was pretty funny how he got gruesomely pulled apart by wonka's fantaffically daffy taffy contraption

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.

Why the mysterious love affair between video games and giant elevators may begin with Akira
The very big lift level section has been a favourite in video games. But why? Are they hard to make? And do they actually all come from a manga?

Absolutely devastating and affecting a lot of my colleagues here at @scripps.edu who dedicated their whole careers to coming up with a vaccine for HIV. Which, btw, outside HIV, has led to a whole field of much better vaccines and vaccine platforms.

It’s one of the most bizarre forms of grief. How do you mourn someone that is alive and well? Or something you’ve never experienced? It was a painful process becoming a mother to the inner child I wished had one.

Reading articles about how young people (and it is not just young people, clearly) yearn for Internet free world, i can't help thinking that while a slower, information-reduced media might have been more boring it was less *tedious*. It creates work, filtering the constant bullshit. It's relentless.

From Goldman Sachs' "Gen AI: Too Much Spend, Too Little Benefit?" www.goldmansachs.com/images/migra...
Allison Nathan: You haven’t bought
into the current generative AI
enthusiasm nearly as much as
many others. Why is that?
Jim Covello: My main concern is that
the substantial cost to develop and run
AI technology means that AI
applications must solve extremely
complex and important problems for
enterprises to earn an appropriate return on investment (ROI).
We estimate that the AI infrastructure buildout will cost over
$1tn in the next several years alone, which includes spending
on data centers, utilities, and applications. So, the crucial
question is: What $1tn problem will AI solve? Replacing lowwage jobs with tremendously costly technology is basically the
polar opposite of the prior technology transitions I’ve witnessed
in my thirty years of closely following the tech industry.
Many people attempt to compare AI today to the early days of
the internet. But even in its infancy, the internet was a low-cost
technology solution that enabled e-commerce to replace costly
incumbent solutions. Amazon could sell books at a lower cost
than Barnes & Noble because it didn’t have to maintain costly
brick-and-mortar locations. Fast forward three decades, and
Web 2.0 is still providing cheaper solutions that are disrupting
more expensive solutions, such as Uber displacing limousine
services. While the question of whether AI technology will ever
deliver on the promise many people are excited about today is
certainly debatable, the less debatable point is that AI
technology is exceptionally expensive, and to justify those
costs, the technology must be able to solve complex problems,
which it isn’t designed to do.
