Scheduling a therapy session when I need help is so much harder when I also have to plan childcare in order to take care of myself. It just adds a whole nother level of "I don't want to do this" on top of pushing myself to spill personal shit to a stranger

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

The evergreen quote of Omar El-Akkad: How empty does your message have to be for a deranged right wing to even have a chance of winning? ...Faced off against a nihilistic, endlessly cruel manifestation of conservatism, and somehow managed to make it close.

Children in Gaza are dying of exposure, while Israel continues to block aid. The crime of genocide includes not just deliberate killing, but imposing physical conditions in which a people cannot survive.

Omar El-Akkad's latest book is a kick in the teeth, in a good way
A quote by Omar El-Akkad in his book One day everyone will have always been against this that reads: How empty does your message have to be for a deranged right wing to even have a chance of winning? Of all the epitaphs that may one day be written on the gravestone of Western liberalism, the most damning is this: Faced off against a nihilistic, endlessly cruel manifestation of conservatism, and somehow managed to make it close.

"GenAI is the futu--
The Atari 2600 gaming console came into the world in 1977 powered by an eight-bit processor that ran at 1.19MhZ, and just 128 bytes of RAM – but that’s apparently enough power to beat ChatGPT at chess.

So says infrastructure architect Robert Caruso, who over the weekend posted the results of an experiment he conducted to “pit ChatGPT against the Atari 2600’s chess engine (via Stella emulator) and see what happens.”

ChatGPT confused rooks for bishops, and repeatedly lost track of pieces

This reminds me of the author Herman Wouk. He was 60 when he met his wife who was 20 at the time. They stayed together until her death. That's right. HER death. She died of cancer at 60 and he lived on to be 103

Great post about generative AI. Happy Holidays. Don't say I never gave you anything. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

The end of V for Vendetta negates this as Evie takes up the mantle of V in the case that V's new government needs destroying. And she takes a protege in case her government fails

Finally watched Fantastic Four: first steps last night. I like to think of it as the closest Marvel can get to making Star Trek. Slow burn, using intellect to fight massive problems, and then at the end you just start punching stuff anyway. But that retro style, *chef's kiss*
