"AI regulation will limit the opportunities for AI"—good AI regulation will PROMOTE the opportunities for AI, e.g. by taking our data back from a handful of US tech firms and making it available (on our terms) to public services and a more competitive, regulated, marketplace

This book is really cool!
Hey friends. I really am sorry for spamming but Uggi is still a bit worried you might not know I have a book coming out on September 3rd.
It’s a creepy little horror story and I am realising people either love or hate the ending and I think you might have to read it so you too can argue over it.

"If you have a Disney+ membership they're legally allowed to kill you" may be a novel legal strategy, but it seems like a pretty poor way to market your streaming service.

Papers are not the output of scientific research in the same way that cars are the output of automobile manufacturing.
Papers are merely a vehicle through which a portion of the output of research is shared.
We confuse the two at our peril.

lot of big caveats in this paper but at least directionally a very good sign
Uhh… Intranasal COVID vaccine. 100% effective at stopping transmission, in animal models. Results validated in two papers in Nature. Hoping to start human trials within the year. Holy shit.

Also: adipose is itself basically one giant endocrine gland. There's a kind of positive feedback loop as body fat increases and more estrogen receptors are created.
This isn't entirely true unless you are starting at a lower body fat percentage. Your body will prefer to put fat where it already has adipose tissue. But, yes, eating cake will get you caked up.
idk who needs to hear this, but when you eat more calories on estrogen, your tits & ass often get bigger first plz use this information responsibly

Journalists need to get comfortable calling things stupid when they are clearly stupid. GenAI is stupid. It's bad for everyone except scammers and chip makers.
It's not editorializing to point out that GenAI is a mostly useless product and its few uses are minor compared to its profound drawbacks.

Framing a problem as deeply complex or insurmountable when the problem is "tech companies are spending billions on fancy autocomplete that is really bad for the environment and will likely never become profitable for them" is a bad journalistic choice.

i think before people are allowed to post online they should have to take an introductory course to ensure they understand basic concepts such as "a joke" and "hyperbole" and "metaphors" and "women are people also"
