It is a rare thing for a series to remain so fresh, exciting and just plain old Good for volume after the volume, the way X Factor did. RIP Peter David.

I think if you had any idea how divinely satisfying it is to take an idea and through sheer force of will, making it into a thing, you would understand why we see no value in generative AI.

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

Kill Artificial Intelligence. A. I. is such a fragile beast that expecting it to pay the creators of its training corpus will kill it. If paying writers,artists, musicians is beyond A. I. then does A. I. need nurturing tax breaks?

This is such a good idea. Part of the grim nature of debates about welfare in the UK stem from the fact that most programmes are means tested rather than social insurance based, meaning buy-in is low for anyone above the lower income brackets

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.

Unreal. The Trump administration is disappearing migrants to places that aren't even their origin countries, then refusing to say which countries they were sent to by claiming this is "classified," then refusing to say why the info is classified:

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

Excited about this but I am also wary of Doo’s Law which stipulates that whichever version of Scooby Doo you think is the “new” one, there’s one more recent than that.

Me as an Eisner judge fighting with the other judges because they won’t let me put this Columbo/Jerry comic in the running for every category. “I don’t care if it’s old and doesn’t even fit the categories, it’s funny! Do I need to explain it to yall again!”

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

"It's a great sign to see that people are challenging the notion that we all have to do AI now," Geuter said. "Because we don't. It's a choice. A choice that mostly benefits monopolists."

I’ve script-edited plenty of open door satirical sketch shows and I would definitely want this waiver in place. People get obsessed about their “ideas getting stolen”, and it almost never happens, because the process of writing this sort of material leads to convergent evolution all the time.

If you breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8, it tells your body you’re safe. This slows your heart rate, relaxes your nervous system, and helps shift you out of fight-or-flight mode. Now do it.

I’m belatedly reading the white paper. Lots to say but one thing really bugging me is the stuff on “abuse” of student routes and the proposed solution. The “abuse” is actually people following rules. So tightening the visa refusal, enrolment and completion thresholds for universities is irrelevant.

I use Libro.FM for audiobooks. Definitely not as extensive as Audible, but realistically speaking, there are more amazing books that exist in the world for you to ever be able to consume them all. Not such a bad thing to have some restrictions.
