I love living in a country where a politician can sign a law banning the health care I need to live and be greeted as a hero of comity and good sense

I don't even know what to say anymore. I just really hope that people take the time to vote in this election. Because America is running out of time.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

Did Anthropic’s A.I. Really Make a Scientific Discovery on Its Own? (Gift Article)

An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.

Got to meet my favorite author tonight, Emily St. John Mandel (@emilymandel.bsky.social), after she took part in a great conversation with Lauren Groff (@legroff.bsky.social)! Mandel’s are the novels I go back to again and again. Looking forward to reading my signed copy of her latest, Exit Party!

Ehhhh that’s fine. I’d rather see consistent growth and find out that Haf is for real.

Definite improvement from Willis, the route running, run blocking, and pretty much the entire D.

Not sure if the #Dolphins will keep this up in the second half, but despite some continuing young team issues, they’ve shown a lot of improvement in a bunch of areas over the first two weeks in the first 30 against the Chiefs. Promising. #FinsUp

I’m old enough to remember Pat White who was similar size and playing style, and on the last play of Pat White’s very short career I thought I saw a man die on the football field. So naw dawg. Drafting Trinidad would be Trinibad

Dan Campbell was so red during that sideline interview he looked like a reverse Violet Beauregard. It’s like he went into the football chocolate factory, but instead of treats everything was just a fucking holding penalty. #nfl #lions #tnf

I understand completely the idea of "the lesser of two evils". For the 4,566,721st time, we are asking that the lesser of two evils be even less evil ffs.
