There are many ways in which every billionaire is a policy failure, but the most corrosive and destructive way in which billionaires are policy failures is this: billionaires, despite being unelected and unaccountable, possess the power to control - and ruin - millions of peoples' lives.

Standing atop of the tower, forcing it down, is a sad, spavined donkey in Democratic Party livery. Being crushed under the tower is the California flag bear, with blood pouring out of its eye and mouth.

Being read to and encouraged to read was one of the greatest gifts my parents ever gave me. My parents never put any barriers on their own library, bought us book lights so we could read in the car, and pretended they didn’t notice when I’d be up past bedtime reading under the sheets.

I made a mixtape (playlist). This week's It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton is The Loneliness of Former Constellations, by P.H. Low, originally published in Strange Horizons. I have two live shows happening in Los Angeles, both with limited tickets.

mix tapes, live shows, and storytime.

It’s been a long time since I made a mixtape, but I remember making them all the time when I was a kid. I rarely had the opportunity to make them for another person, but that didn’t stop me from making endless awesome mixes to block out the world on...

People just say this cartoon-villain stuff out loud now, because there aren't any consequences. I think maybe each of us should put a little energy into making sure there are consequences. Just one person can't save our civilization, but a spreading wave of intelligence/humanity might.

That's a LOT closer than I thought it was gonna be. For Labour to have lost four points amid the "Burnham bounce" and the establishment's continued Corbyning of Zack Polanski (something that they'll deny they're doing but I've got receipts m8) is actually cause for a little hope.

No, it's not searching the internet live - it's predicting the next token based on patterns it learned from training.
That's why it can be impressive at reasoning, coding, writing etc but also confidently hallucinate. It's not super-intelligence, but it's also way more than a search engine.

Fab story from Margaret Hamilton, RIP, showing why Science-Mums are brilliant scientists! When innovating at the cutting edge of technology, it's so important to bring together a wide range of lived experiences. Sad that only ~20% comp-scientists are female 👩‍🔬🧪 ℹ️: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Right: A woman looking very cool in a 70's dress standing next to a massive pile of very thick books
Left text: Did your life as a software engineer and a mother ever collide?
Often in the evening or at weekends I would bring my young daughter, Lauren, into work with me. One day, she was with me when I was doing a simulation of a mission to the moon. She liked to imitate me – playing astronaut. She started hitting keys and all of a sudden, the simulation started. Then she pressed other keys and the simulation crashed. She had selected a program which was supposed to be run prior to launch – when she was already “on the way” to the moon. The computer had so little space, it had wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon. I thought: my God – this could inadvertently happen in a real mission. I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight. But the higher-ups at MIT and Nasa said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake. Midcourse on the very next mission – Apollo 8 – one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what Lauren had done. The Lauren bug! It created much havoc and required the mission to be reconfigured. After that, they let me put the program change in, all right.

They're called sexual predators for a reason. Men! Talk to your friends. Talk to your sons and brothers. Ask them if they understand consent. Hold accountable their sexism. Show some backbone. Stop being cowards. Stop protecting rapists and assailants and harassers among you. They're the bad guys.
