If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

Them: I didn't get the invite. Me: I'll re-add you and it will send a new one. Technology: How 'bout I send 17 invites and auto-accept on their behalf that "Maybe" they are going to attend. Oh, also I'm going to cancel the meeting. But also still show in the details that you are both going.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) My favorite parts are the opening sequence and the final moment.

Can anything ever be redoubled? Wouldn't redoubling mean to resume doubling, which would mean you had stopped doubling and maybe you were singling but you can't redouble a single can you? Unless that's it: you are restarting your doubling of the initial singling? Anyway...I'm walking more.

LLM feels harder to say that AI, but it doesn't matter the size of the language model, it's still just a language model. Proposal: Stop calling it AI and start calling is LM. Is this a dumb idea? Yes. Does language inform perception? Also yes.

Aaron Swartz is no longer here to tell us what he saw like twenty years ago. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and warned his friends about Altman shortly before his passing.

“You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted,” he told one confidante. “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”

If I've learned anything today, it's that: 1. I can welcome a war criminal into my home & no one will arrest him or me for harboring him 2. I can do anything I want & say that something went rogue & it's not my fault I guess I'll start acting accordingly! ...waitaminute ... I'm not rich. Dang.

Through the course of a casual conversation, I found myself wondering if Napster is still a thing. My advice, if you don't already know: don't look it up.

While I've been trying to get the draft of my play to get a table read somewhere in Portland, I've realized the issue that's been at the back of my mind about it: not ambitious enough! It now requires 91 performances for it to be told in its entirety as the script will change over time.

Had a dream that, upon waking, I thought would make a good setup for a mystery novel. Forgot at least 5 times over the span of an hour to sit down and write it in the Mystery section of my Writing Ideas doc. Oh, sleepy ADHD brain...you so silly.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report

A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

I think it was in 1984 that I got a Burton Performer. The red one. All wood with three metal fins underneath the tail. I didn't get to ride it much before it was stolen. :/

Progress on any project is progress. 99% sure this will be ready to publish next month.

Working cover for a workbook or sorts I'm putting out about tracking what makes the cafes you go to good or bad. It's called "Filtered Out" and the subtitle is "how to tell if a cafe is worth your time". I'm not overly happy with the cover, but it's good enough for now.

a pretty good way to gauge the conversation is whether people are talking about harm or risk harm is about what's happening now already risk is about what could maybe happen in the future and basically the whole ai cult scene is in agreement that possible risks are more important than current harm

Every year we make the case for keeping leaves, branches, & plant stems in your yard. Bugs need them for shelter! That’s not to say you can’t tidy up: rake leaves into garden beds, around trees, or just in a pile out of the way. All we ask is that you #LeaveTheLeaves! 🍂🐝 xerces.org/blog/leave-t...

Leave the Leaves!

One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.
