“learn how to use AI.”
Roflmfao wut?
The point of AI is to control your computer using natural language. Literally the sales proposition is that it removes the barriers so you never have to learn anything. Nobody has to “learn to use” AI—it’s targeted at people who already don’t know anything.

These changes would have made the difference in Rob Jenner living or dying in the summer of 2024. They might make the difference in keeping my family or yours alive, too. We have until December 12th to share how important these changes are to us. Let’s get it done.

Reading We Breed Lions by @rickwesthead.bsky.social is hard and necessary, and might even make you look at hockey a little differently. And especially in a country that rarely wants to hear bad news about hockey, it should be a reminder that we need to do better. www.thestar.com/sports/hocke...
Bruce Arthur: Rick Westhead explored the darker corners of hockey in his new book. What he found is brutal
“We Breed Lions” is a thorough, thoughtful, illuminating and necessary view into hockey’s darker corners, writes Bruce Arthur.

People should absolutely be in the streets protesting against this by any means. AI data centres are being built for one primary purpose: mass surveillance. It's a decentralized cop city that must be stopped in its tracks
BREAKING: OpenAI is requesting US government support to help guarantee financing for the massive investments in AI chips and data centers it needs for expansion, per Bloomberg.

OpenAI looking for a bailout guarantee from the government seems, uh, bad, considering the fact that its spending on data centers seems to be single-handedly holding American capitalism together

The NYT editorial pages has eroded to a mere series of cringe now. Just the most predictable garbage from smooth-brained pundits.
we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
