Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

Saw the jingoistic pro-war recruiting commercial from the Defense Department. I am telling you the first 10 seconds of the ad are indistinguishable from the first 10 seconds of current Jeep ads.

Buried and mentioned only briefly in this story: These are legal sell. Most stores reminded the “undercover” shoppers of safety guidelines. Feels like the CBC made questionable editorial decisions in presenting this as a shocking exposé. (I’m not Canadian; I’m happy to learn what I’m missing.)
CBC News story: Stores are allowed to sell the e-bikes no matter how fast they go, but Michael Pasquali, founder of the Canadian Electric Bicycle Association (CEBA), says it's "heartbreaking."CBC News story: "Shops that are selling products that are way beyond the legal limit, they're putting a lot of people in danger."
Seven stores also had e-scooters for sale with manufacturer-recommended rider ages under 16, though some medical experts say e-bikes and e-scooters are too unsafe for anyone under 16.

Unimportant, but is this a photo illustration or a real, unaltered photo? Did this person really have a tower of more than 100 microphones in front of her? I’m not saying it isn’t real. Don’t come at me. I’m genuinely curious if she is so important she once attracted this many media outlets.

Twins are parting ways with pitching coach Pete Maki and assistant pitching coach Luis Ramirez. Maki took over as pitching coach in July 2022, following Wes Johnson's sudden midseason exit. Since then, the Twins rank 21st in ERA, including 25th this season and 24th last season.

The season is ending, so I’ll say this. I have seen 1,001 ads for the Twins season ticket/loyalty/discount program. And I have no understanding of how it actually works. It’s sounds weirdly… complicated. Twins are the only MLB team that requires a math or economics degree to buy tickets.

I admit I usually skip to the end of user terms & click OK. I tried the Spotify pre-save function for Tegan & Sara’s new song. Holy hell… look at the permissions Universal Music wants. Delete & add to your library! Edit private playlists! This is galling even in our age of corporate imperialism.
Spotify screenshot of what Universal Music Group can do within the app if you connect it so so you can pre-save music by their artists. In short, they can do anything they want to, including remove items from your library, add items to your library , manage who you follow, create, edit and follow your private playlists.

Happy birthday to Tegan and Sara Quin, born on this day in Calgary in 1980! In their careers as singer-songwriters, they have released 10 studio albums, earned a Grammy nomination and won four Junos. In 2019, they released their best-selling memoir High School. 📸 Dustin Rabin
### Photo Description

A studio portrait of two young women with short, dark bob haircuts standing side by side against a textured, dark gray backdrop. The lighting is soft and warm-toned.

- **Left woman**: Fair skin, light eyes, neutral expression with lips slightly parted. She wears a light mint-green collared shirt with rolled sleeves and buttons at the collar, arms crossed over her chest.
- **Right woman**: Fair skin, light eyes, subtle smile, head tilted slightly left. She wears a black-and-white horizontal-striped short-sleeved top. Her right arm shows colorful tattoos including a blue bird, green leaves, and abstract red and blue designs; her left arm is relaxed, right hand on hip.

The composition frames them from the waist up, with the left woman slightly forward.

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.
