AI has applications other than writing. Disavowing it simply because a few people used it to write some fantasy novels ignores how it can serve humanity. There's more to the world than writing

Saddened to hear of the passing of Darth Vader. While we disagreed politically, I always respected his fervent defense of evil and his love for the Yankees! RIP big guy.

Non-tenure-track contract faculty at NYU went on strike this morning after over a year of bargaining (capped by a 24-hour+ marathon session). Big crowd of @uaw.org members and supporters, incl lots of students. They’re picketing over pay, workload, AI, a voice in faculty governance, & more.

The Ethos of Eephus Eephus sees sport not as a cultural commodity, but a community engagement, and the simplicity of its framing [...] finds the beauty in the relationship baseball has not just to its participants and onlookers, but the landscape of the country. open.substack.com/pub/mikespry...
