My 4yo had his first lockdown drill today and while I’m of course glad the school does these… damn what a dogshit aspect of the world we’ve created for our kids

Absolutely obsessed with this 70s baseball art (the Angels ones are by Richard "Dick" Lasley, Red Sox by Charles J "Chuck" Mazoujian)

AI has lost the Mandate of Heaven I’m afraid. WSJ saying it’s a “when” the ai bubble bursts. SNL dabbing on their biggest names for being weird. FT says 50% of chips sold in 2026 and 2027 have nowhere to go. Hundreds of billions short on revenue for even 10% ROIC. A disaster.

Lmao turns out that when you build a system in which instructions, inputs, outputs, and "reasoning" are indistinguishable it's piss easy to trick it into thinking your input is instructions and/or reasoning

NEW: I came across a bookseller who was afraid that a mysterious company trying to buy some of his rarest books was going to use them to train AI models. I went down the rabbithole with him, and was confused and altogether existentially weirded out by what I found www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hard to feel good about the Paramount lawsuit getting settled... maybe in 6 months (if fed tax incentives go thru) there’s 30 productions in LA But in a few years there’s thousands of jobs eliminated? and Bari Weiss gets to go wreck CNN? And Saudi Arabia owns half of the company? IDK seems bad man

The best way to fight back against the Paramount/Warner Brothers merger is to support independent artists, journalists, writers, filmmakers, musicians and everyone else who has been walking a very hard path to putting things out into the world.

Okay thought abt this post again in the context of an often-dreamed-of BLAME!-style techno-gigadungeon And I’d been stymied with reconciling the non-diegetic history/lore/info you’d get from items vs player immersion But in a high-tech setting maybe such info is in the “metadata”? #ttrpg

It should be illegal to buy a company with debt and then sell it off to a foreign owner, but that fight was lost long ago. Anyway, now the Saudis own a truly distressing portion of American entertainment, from Hollywood to Video Games to Sports. This is not neutral behavior. Anyway.

Solidarity to a comrade. May her friends and family remember the fond things, and draw inspiration from her commitment to those around her.

Snippet from piece: “Rose Friedman was an editor to the end. She said she wanted the second line of her obituary to acknowledge her role as a shop steward for SAG-AFTRA, the union that represents NPR's editorial workers. She wanted the line to say that her "proudest achievement" was helping convince NPR to increase its paid parental leave.”

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

You know what else sucks about short seasons and long gaps? My lack of income. As a film/tv worker, I am employed a whole lot less when there are only a few episodes to work on, and the long gaps without a job are making me think I need to find a new career so I can have money for rent and food.

Like an underrated harm of LLM coding is that it basically starts to strangle actual evolution of software engineering as a field. Why invent better ways of doing things? Why come up with better languages, better abstractions, better tooling?

I read the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book… pretty fun! Feels like if there was ever a zeitgeist pop fantasy novel series off-ramp for Potter fans this would be it as there is a large active fandom. Feels like it fits in that pop culture love letter space similar to Scott Pilgrim or Ready Player One

They desperately want people talking about the danger of their dogshit extruder gaining sentience, and not the fact that it is currently actually factually poisoning Black people in the poor regions where they build data centers. Or convincing people to kill themselves, etc.
