But also. Even if the whole thing was just "Atari fucking whupped chatGPT's ass at chess" and no deeper insight, that alone would be worthy of further disengaging from LLMs, yes. Because it's fucking funny. I don't know what else to tell you man.

I'm going with dishwasher, which I didn't have growing up so it feels like luxury, and stick blender, which means I haven't purchased salad dressing since the Obama administration.

This has new relevance with the dissolution of the CPB. Media is another area where there is no one coming to save us besides ourselves, and looking at how the tiny grassroots side of things does it is worth a look
Hey some nerd (me) is quoted here in this @columjournreview.bsky.social story about how low-power FM radio stations weathered federal funding cuts by being too small to be eligible for federal funding... in contrast to NPR. The invulnerability of the truly grassroots? 📻💚

Against the precipitous backdrop of funding cuts to public media, low-power radio emerges as a lesser-known source of inspiration.

Shout out to the young person demonstrating in the local military base town, alone, with a cardboard sign reading "Hands Off Venezuela."
I was only passing through & could offer just a honk & a thumbs up in solidarity, but I think you are so brave and I'm proud of you.

"I don’t want us to forget that the predictive algorithms being marketed as “intelligence” were built out of an internet riven with white supremacy, sexism, and colonialism, and fueled by capitalism."
This summer, I took myself to the beach for two days & wrote a letter to my fellow educators about “AI.”
My mom asked to read it; I told her, “Not yet. Let me get another draft done.”
Welp.
I should have let her read the first draft because she’s not here to read this one.

That’s not nothing."
This is not the inspirational, Instagram-quote version of hope.
This is the stubborn, dented, slightly sarcastic hope that survives out of pure spite. The kind that says, “Yes, everything is on fire, but I’m still not letting the worst people win everything.”
