*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Apple AI models take up 12 gigs of space. Guess this is why my company said don't upgrade: In macOS 27, Apple removed the toggle to disable Apple Intelligence wholesale, and simply disabling individual features doesn't remove the models from your Mac's drive.

These things aren’t your helpers. After the AI pretended to be him while messaging, this user explicitly instructed the AI to stop that & not give out his address. It proceeded to give out his address to five people. That was everyone who asked.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

I know people largely moved on from the whole copyright argument against gAI (copyright never holds people's attention for long) but this feels important The whole point of copyright as a legal concept is to make sure we maintain a system where it's possible for artists to make a living from art

holy shit, this is the whole ballgame in a single paragraph gAI systems require mass theft of copyrighted works, for the explicit purpose of replacing the market for the people they stole from, and the people in charge knew what they were doing ahead of time, and did it anyway

They know they are the worst thieves to ever exist. Does everyone else? A Microsoft executive called GenAI the “largest theft of labor in human history.” An internal document said, “almost no one intended for content they created to be used in this fashion, nor are they compensated for its use.”

Are you NOSY??? Here's another tidbit of research from my upcoming book I’M HERE TO HELP! The protagonist of this story is a practicing therapist in a small town. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time digging into therapists and therapy for, admittedly, the most juicy parts.
A graphic features a background photo of an iphone with earbuds resting on a white blanket. On the phone screen, a podcast called Where Should We Begin with Esther Perel is featured. A torn piece of paper across the top of the graphic read “Research Wednesdays.” There’s a pic of Victoria smiling in the bottom left corner. She wears a black shirt and glasses and has long brown hair with bangs. She’s holding copies of her new book I’m Here to Help. A yellow post-it note is scribbled with “the BEST podcast."

So Think, Write, Edit, Romance has a lot about prose and a whole section on self-editing. In a moment of wild surmise, I asked the literal Final Boss copyeditor if he'd take a look at it. (When I said I was taking a punt on blurbs...) And he did, and this is some of what @bcdreyer.social said.
Flyer for Think Write Edit Romance. Quote: “...she offers up here the sort of expert advice on the nuts and bolts of prose, from punctuation to grammar, that makes my copyeditorial heart sing. And if that weren't enough, she does it all engagingly and wittily.  I can't imagine a writer, of romance or of anything else, who won't find much that's invaluable in these pages.” --—Benjamin Dreyer, New York Times bestselling author of Dreyer's English and former Random House copy chief.

A previous editor told me I’M HERE TO HELP wouldn’t work as a tale of vengeance. “A therapist wouldn’t behave this way,” she insisted. Um, what? 1) A novel about a healthy therapist making healthy decisions wouldn’t be much of a thriller. 2) Therapists are just…people?
The book cover of I’m Here to Help by Victoria Helen Stone. A woman sits on a dark leather couch in a therapist’s office. Her face is turned to the side and not visible as only half her body is shown. She has a long brown bob haircut and wears a blue cotton dress as she holds a notebook and pen in her hand.

I’m a little irritated that the Silo tv show has abandoned the idea that levels are very far apart. It was a big deal in the first season, right? If folks went far up or down, they’d have to spend the night. Now everyone is everywhere all the time.
