in humanoid robot movies the dilemma is always "the robot is programmed to perform humanity's grimmest tasks, but cannot love or be loved and will never feel the joy of holding a baby in its arms" but tech bros are like "great news, I just coded BabyHoldr 4.1 so I don't have to hold my baby anymore"

I thought Mamdani's statement today about Oct. 7 was fine. Just saying that because man, a lot of people today apparently feel very free to announce to journalists how upset and angry "Jews in New York City" are, and I'm one, and I'm not.

AI is an employee who never says no, never talks back, and who has no emotions, so you're free to be an asshole to it without consequence. Certain men have been fantasizing about this for their whole lives. They will happily burn the world down to create it.

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

Introducing Gurpo
A drawing of a small blobby figure inside of an enclosure with string coming off it, with text saying "introducing Gurpo, the new wearable personal assistant. Gurpo is not a computer program, he's a real tiny guy who is trapped inside your medallion necklace. 
Gurpo hates you, but is incapable of doing anything about it, and he has to answer your questions or he gets electrocuted. It's non-lethal.
If you shake his enclosure hard enough, gurpo will throw up!"

I once passed a job interview while still functionally drunk from the night before, having hawked bile into a sink in the reception area toilets minutes before I was called in, so I don't think my views on bringing in a cold beverage are especially helpful.

my love and respect for Larry David grows all the time pagesix.com/2026/09/22/h...
After the dressing down — which ended up having the crowd in tears, of laughter and joy, the agent writes — Emanuel recalls, “Seating Larry at the same table as Elon Musk: Not my best decision.” 
As soon as the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star sees the Tesla mogul,”he starts cursing, yelling, saying things many people would like to say to Elon” about the SpaceX’s leader’s politics. 
David was “right up in Elon’s face, before the dinner starts,” and, guests had to separate them.
