Wonderful people doing wonderful things.
So Bree hinted at this story a few days ago, but I want to circle back now that I have permission to share it.
WHISTLES OUT: A WHISTLE CREW MYSTERY
WHISTLES OUT: A WHISTLE CREW MYSTERY
and the lady in our inbox who caused us to go into a Whistles Out: a Benoit Blanc Mystery spiral for half the day because she had rallied so many people to request whistles to the same town that we thought it was a scam, but no she just convinced like 700 people to mobilize and we love her so much

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Having a conversation with my younger child on Kirkification, McCarthyism, and the pace at which memes spread depending on technology, and we both agreed that the only reason to invent a time machine would be to go back and see how quickly Ea-nāṣir’s name traveled across Ur

Liberals say that concentration camps filled with children have no place in a democracy. They're wrong—concentration camps filled with children have no place in a republic.

Student used ChatGPT just to send me a message to let me know they were sick and wont be in class. My frustration towards student ChatGPT use is more heartbreak than anger. I could talk about this for hours

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

The AI bros (who clearly don't understand AI) in the comments are hilarious. "ask stupid questions, get stupid answers". LLMs have no concept of how intelligent a question is, and they certainly were not designed to deliberately give stupid responses if they deem your question too stupid. 1/?
It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Blasted? Yikes
When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

The tell that the "AI is alive!" is snake oil is how many of these AI guys are also transphobic, into eugenics and misogynist. And not it's not a distraction, a person who won't believe or doesn't care about a real person saying "I am trans," "I am autistic" "I'm a woman unwelcome in STEM."

“Libertarians are like house cats, they’re convinced of their fierce independence while dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.”
It is mostly a philosophy for people who like to scold others, but cannot be bothered building a damn thing.
