It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Putting their respective regular season records aside, with both teams featuring great talents, this Liberty-Lynx series went exactly as how you would have expected a series between the tallest team and the shortest to go Congrats to the Liberty 🗽 and Ellie 🐘 on advancing #WNBAsky

Meta's new AI agent wanted my passport info. Not to help me. To train on me. Actually, it wanted everything: bank accounts, email inboxes, ID info. No surprise coming from Meta. But always worth reminding readers that AI automations come with major privacy risks. www.wired.com/story/metas-...

Meta's Muse Is Better at Surveilling Than Helping Me
The Muse app continues Meta’s trend of opting users into data collection for AI training. It also nudges you to share your bank account, email, and passport information.

Attended my first #TorontoTempo game yesterday (which was also the last home game of this inaugural season) and even though we got blown out by the Liberty (I'm not even mad, lol), it was still a blast and I hope I get to attend more in the future #WNBAsky

Chess is hard for humans, but not for computers.
One day, it will be fully solved like checkers.
Between now and then, or even after, have fun.
People enjoy many games/sports where machines are vastly betterThere are more possible chess games, by about 40 orders of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you'd have to map them all. Good luck.

Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.

Was this revelation supposed to garner sympathy and an attempt to stave off any potential suspensions from FIFA? Because he sure looked very nimble and strong and without any trouble breathing when he started fighting Gavi and Garcia unprovoked after the match had already finished
