It is essential that the historians writing about the end of America place this as the first and most critical text.

This article from 2012 reads to me as impressively prescient in its analysis of what tech-induced literacy decline does to culture and politics

That's right. Dems think "Turning down the temperature" means they'll be perceived as reasonable adults, but what it actually means is THEY WON'T BE PERCEIVED AT ALL, because they'll leave the headlines, which means that public opinion will be once again governed by atmospheric social media vibes.

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

Just had an incredibly grim thought about this: AI is being trained on the modern Internet, which is full of text content that has been deranged by SEO keyword insertion, creating a third-order language perversion

Excellent column by Ross Gittins "If you want to govern Australia effectively – you have to be prepared to stand up to powerful interest groups. It’s now clear Albanese isn’t prepared to stand up, but still wants to enjoy the spoils of office." www.smh.com.au/business/the...

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

The weirdest thing about this stuff to me isn't that all the men have 23 year old scantily clad supermodel girlfriends, and the women have 30 year old square-jawed men in nice suits (see: porn, sexy romance novels), it's the not feeling awkward about sharing all this.

FINALLY someone has made a PROPER video game. Look at this, it's exactly Lemmings but with crafting/ building stuff as a focus. This is EXACTLY the sort of thing that you should get a demo of on a cover disk and play nothing else for MONTHS in 1992 10/10 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJKe...

The microgeneration that relies on AI to do everything for them is going to be so, so fucked. I say microgeneration, as once workplaces realise how useless employees who can't think for themselves are, the pushback will be huge.

🚨 This is massive news. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to hear it. While they've not said anything on the details, we can say with confidence they will now look at matters *other* than the current mutual obligations framework. We can all think of one or two legal issues of that description.

Did you know there's an abandoned half-built station in the eastern suburbs? @sydney.yimby.au have launched a petition to have Woollarah Station finally built. The population in that area has been going backwards so it's a great opportunity for more TOD. supporthousingcode.good.do/station/wool...

The infuriating thing about this book is now I have to go tell everyone to read it. I'm going to be that guy at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers — running out into traffic, trying to tell passing drivers that the best science fiction novel this year is about Star Wars and it deserves a Hugo

Cis lesbian who got a mastectomy because she wanted it is a threat to the patriarchal, natalist order because her brand of sexed autonomy is anathema to heterosexualists. It's not just explicitly transgender or transsexual people they abhor--it's gender autonomy, full stop, period.
