"i don't have an air fryer. i cook for more than one person." i just air fryed a whole chicken. it came out juicier and more consistenly cooked in less time than in the oven, plus it didn't use any gas.

I’ve had so many Christians absolutely shocked that as Jews we don’t worship Jesus. I’ve been met with utter confusion. “Ok so how does he factor then? What do you see him as?” “We don’t even think about him. He was just a random guy.” They refuse to believe me.

*Trailer Park Heiress* Karla is a trans woman in her 20s, estranged from a family with a notable number of bachelor uncles who keep leaving her weird inheritances which are more trouble than they're worth. But when one black-sheep passes in a freak accident, she gets more than she bargained for.

i'm not loving the story beats of ted lasso this season and just realized it's because they're modeling "hey, we're all going through it, here's how we come together to make it through this." so i think for a treat we all deserve a journalist hair + sports therapist romantic comedy.

this is a good time to note that the choices you make online for convenience, like setting every password to wifesnamebday!, saving to or logging in with google, or not setting up third party verification makes you more vulnerable to online thievery. get a password manager and a gun.

steen goes on to say if you see this you should change your password because he just got hacked. in general you should keep an eye on your accounts. i used to be in charge of disputes for an online payment system. thieves often use microtransactions to verify cards/accounts and then drain them.

The Anthropic, Meta, and Google "breaking containment" incidents all resulted from setup errors (or a stunt) by the same company: Irregular. Irregular created a sandbox that wasn't really a sandbox because it had a live internet connection, and gave instructions that were then carried out online.

my worry about the new season of silo is that they've abandoned the truly terrifying driver of the original story (human power dynamics and hierarchies) for the trendy and sustanceless villain of the moment (ai) and it's going to fall flat.

i'm much more careful about this now, a couple years ago i was taking laundry to the basement the night before my partner flew in (in the midst of a cleaning frenzy) and slid down the stairs. it's hard to vacation with your partner when you can't walk. it's hard to frenzy clean your house, too.

If you want an example, here. The major corporations are already training their AI to engage in corporate espionage and subterfuge. And yet, Google, one of the most powerful companies in the world, gets to hide behind the “rogue AI” bullshit and avoid consequences.
