I have a friend who works in AI device research at one of the biggies, and she's told me that even though they could be working on*anything*, the men in leadership just keep basically asking for a second wife/assistant.
it’s so funny that every commercial for every tech product tries to show the practical uses of AI and it’s just somebody saying to their phone or their sunglasses or their hat or whatever “hey AI, is it gonna rain today” and then a robot voice saying “nope, there’s no rain forecast until tuesday”

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

we're like infrastructure in that way
Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

Uh-oh, we've broken containment.
for the record, this is how the @nytimes.com covered Bloomberg, a man elected to the same office as Katie Wilson with the exact same amount of experience in public office as Katie Wilson, but whom the paper did not view with obvious contempt www.nytimes.com/2001/11/07/n...

Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Seattle's getting a new awesome mayor AND season 2 of what might be the Best TV Show of All Time is coming in March!! This is a great day for me, specifically!
🚨Deadloch heads: S2 of the Aussie crime satire/drama (it's good!) arrives on Amazon Prime March 20. Many chaotic Aussie weirdos return/debut. But HEADS UP they have added a Hemsworth (Luke)! This is not a drill! Kudos to the hair & costume team for this whole deal. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Did SPD solve all of the violent crime, property crime, traffic violence, and clear case backlogs in the city that they have capacity to do other agencies’ administrative work?
SPD out here on Northgate shutting down the taco stand between 8th and Roosevelt due to "multiple licensing and health code violations" that they wouldn't provide anymore info about.
