Got depressed, realised that when Musk heard Jonathan Coulton's "Future Soon" he adopted it as his plan A. "... When the things that make me weak and strange are engineered away..."

Around a year and half ago, at Halloween, I was reminded of how in college, a guy I knew who belonged to the Young Republicans would dress up as the same thing every Halloween. He’d dress as Adolf Hitler. Mustache and everything. www.the-reframe.com/hatred-laund...

the thing about genAI is if it was actually useful or benefits the end user in any capacity, you'd have to pay for it. it'd be locked behind so many gates as a use privilege but instead opt-outs are virtually impossible and it's force-fed down your throat like ducks being prepared for foie gras

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...

Has this #totp fallen through from another dimension? I don't even recognize the Sinead O'Connor song. They're gaslighting me, I wasn't this far out of the zeitgeist at the age of 26, surely?

Watching zero day, a political thriller that's been outpaced by the last 6 weeks in real world US politics. Seems to be based in some sort of libertarian fantasy where there are well organised far left militias and the most powerful political commentator is a straw man liberal YouTuber.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

Exactly what I was thinking might happen. Their anti-trans animus is infecting other cases. Trump is biting off too much too fast. My hope is that all of this factors into some of the fence-sitting justices on SCOTUS for big upcoming cases.

So I cannot just mention Harlan Ellison and then go about my life without thinking about the Pay the Writer clip. This is quintessentially the example of what every creative will experience and exactly the right response you should have to someone wanting to use your work. youtu.be/mj5IV23g-fE?...

This is a bit fucking rich coming from The Guardian. The very paper that shoved transphobia down our throats for years in the interests of "balance" and "hearing from all sides" is now pretending that they were never part of that moral panic and they saw through it immediately. Yeah...right.

Presumably this only applies to poor people, unless Starmer's also going to be hunting down people with inherited wealth who just sort of hang around at the fringes of creative industries not really doing anything, in which case, fair enough.

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

At last, an English language equivalent to Raymond Queneau's 'Exercices de style' (1947). 100 dazzling and hilarious variations on an utterly inconsequential anecdote from the early days of The Beatles (IYKYK), polyphonic, virtuosic and unpredictable. The most fun I've had this year. Do read.
