Next newsletter on wheresyoured.at I believe, outside of ChatGPT, that the combined generative AI industry is smaller than Pokémon Go at its peak, with apps like Gemini and Copilot having less than 20 million monthly active users. These unprofitable, unsustainable apps are also deeply unpopular.

i just typed in yellow jacket (local bar) to the parish (local venue) in on google, because i wanted to know how far apart those two places are, and instead google decided that was an aphorism and gave me an entirely fake definition of it i actually felt secondhand embarrassment for the computer

It's frustrating. The Left says "Act on bigotry/poverty", the Right says "No, those are good" and the Centre compromises on "Say they're a bit bad but people have reasonable concerns, do nothing". Then we get blamed when that strategy fails to win people over.

Always thought 'better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven' was a banger of a line until Elon Musk decided to enact it as a concept. Less hot on it now. Sorry Milton

Legally, how much violence can I do to particle physicists who write code full of functions that just wrap calls to other functions but change all the parameter names. If it helps, that seems to be every particle physicist.

I think the key to a lot of the issues I have with politics is that as the issues facing us all get more accute politicians, the media and people in general have lost the ability to understand them as anything other than court power struggles

Crucial to remember that, just as with the last government, New New Labour DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEAS of their own! They've got nothing!

guys will get away with beings described as a business genius, and then you look at what their business genius actions are, and they're all variations on "stop paying rent and use the money saved to beat the case in court for not paying rent."

I sorta imagine the government as a guy juggling 20 bowling balls at once and someone just shoved him off stage. And at the moment the bowling balls are still in the air. For now

The humiliation of doing nothing in their position would be unbearable for me, but these people are so used to being special little birthday boys out for treats with papá that they have forgotten we live in a fucking society

The thing about this stuff, much like what we saw with Luigi Mangione, is that this is what happens when more and more people begin to realize that consequences (like laws) are an arbitrarily applied social construct. If you don't give people anything else to work with, then this is what you get

In this ancient Assyrian letter, astronomers complain that they can’t do their jobs or teach astronomy “because of the ilku-duty”, a type of taxation in the form of labour. “we cannot keep the watch of the king, and the pupils do not learn the scribal craft” cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/33...

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

Would also add that p much every political party in Britain has given up on Politics too : even the ‘radicals’ in Reform have no real interest in ending market orthodoxy, which in this case means asset speculation

Witnessing Labour trying to mimic Reform with migrant raid videos is sickening & will simply reinforce Reform’s messages. Just months after race riots, it also risks encouraging further animosity. We need safe & legal routes for asylum seekers, not boasts about which party can be cruellest

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

Google missed revenue expectations by nearly a billion dollars this quarter and then said "we're going to spend $75 billion on capital expenditures." No reporting on AI revenue. Growth down across the board. Absolute joke of a company, washed beyond belief. Capitalist death cult. Shameful.
