PL folks: Steve claims there it's been 10 years since we've had interesting new languages. Please provide counterarguments.

Plus, platforms like @ghost.org, @buttondown.com, and @wordpress.org embracing open social protocols means they'll have the "native" discovery aspect of Substack, too. The difference is that their implementation won't be in a silo, it'll be across platforms, and you'll own your audience completely.

This video does such a good job saying what I have been trying to say about commercial AI. An AI can write a 10th grade lit essay, but the point of an essay assignment is not to produce an essay. The essay teaches critical thinking, research skills, etc. The effort is the point.

There’s been a massive U.K. uptick in investigating women so for so called illegal abortions. The decriminalisation petition needs another 12k to secure a debate. If ONLY there was a feminist with a huge platform who could share it? Too busy fawning over Trump petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.
