America, there's something you should know.
The top three kinds of books that young people (under 25) offer to sell me on Dec. 26 are:
- "Chicken Soup for the _____"
- "Oh, the Places You'll Go"
- Books of New Yorker cartoons
I'm just saying. Keep it in mind for graduations and birthdays, too.

“Indeed I am Saruman, one,might almost say, Saruman as he fucking should have been.”
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?
"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"

I remember listening to a talk given by a publishing exec and he was asked about "finding the next Harry Potter" and his answer was "we don't try to do that, because the success of Harry Potter is not reproducible".
This was said about young people as well, until Mamdani had exceptionally higher voter turnouts than prior elections. Perhaps condemning swathes of the population as "not worth appealing to" is why we're in this mess in the first place!

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but

3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."

Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +
