Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

A lot of people say generative AI shouldn't infringe on copyright. These researchers actually tried to do it.

A French film swept Japan in the '50s — and its impact on Japanese animation was immense. Among its fans were Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata and their co-workers at Toei Doga. We explore how they saw it, why they loved it and what they learned: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-french...

One interesting thing I've learned when talking with GitHub CEO @ashtom.bsky.social last week is how GitHub is hiring more early-careers devs (interns / new grads) as before. I asked: why? Given lots of companies are hiring less assuming AI might be at the level of a junior dev (cont'd)

This blog is SO good at pointing out what should have been obvious about AI for coding (Copilot and others) These tools are good for re-creating whatever they’ve been trained on. They are not what will create the next, better generation of frameworks, libraries, technologies.

THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed by the House, but there's something else that isn't getting enough attention, that is very difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

Genuinely wonder which will be the milestones that future people will use to symbolize the decline of the American era. This, along with the adoption of military parades, has a good shot.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

@adambecker.bsky.social I didn't know who you were when I woke up today, but an author quoting @tressiemcphd.bsky.social and Ursula LeGuin in an article about why, among other things, colonizing Mars is a delusional fantasy hits every checkbox I need to go buy your book.
