I’ve been toying with the idea of subscribing to kagi, although their AI is a turnoff, but this ability might just nudge me to give it a try.
My New Year’s resolution is that if you pop up a modal of any kind when I visit your site I will simply close the tab. Or if I’m feeling generous, hit the back button and down rank you in #Kagi.

Time to bring back blogs on Wordpress and/or Blogspot!

I bought a ball pit for the cats and filled it with their toys and some homegrown catnip.
Success!

The fun thing about AI slop: I have a data cleanup project that would be ideal to turn over to GenAI, except I can't and if accuracy didn't matter, I wouldn't clean it up at all. Also, GenAi doesn't do that. It only wants to find the most banal way to complete my sentences. Thanks Slopya.

Funny how the question "how will we pay for this?" is never applied to the military or to starting a new war.
If it helps people, we have to justify the expense. If it causes pain and destruction, it's all fine.

Microsoft's Satya Nadella wants you to stop saying AI "slop" in 2026

The only reason I still go to $bucks (when traveling) is that they are the only chain that reliably has soy milk. They seem to have replaced their tasty soy milk with some nasty, flavorless stuff. I’ve been wanting to give up S$ permanently and this will do it.

I miss having a Lhasa Apso in my life. We have some work to do before bringing in new animals, but once the new floor is in and the house is dog- and kitten-proofed again, I'll be scouring the shelters! (Also willing to accept a chihuahua or, really, any small dog who needs a home.)

Thanks for sharing this document, @rweingarten.bsky.social.
I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI.
A few thoughts for your consideration...

If anyone has extra time on this holiday weekend, here's a talk where I take folks through this history (of rumor-spreading during crisis events) and connect it to how our information systems, politics, and (increasingly) values have been rewired, reconfigured, and turned on their heads.

I teach First-Year Writing at the university level and I would make this book required reading for my class. Students KNOW their attention is being manipulated, but constant stress and overwhelm compels them to stick with what feels familiar, and every book on this vital subject is outdated now.
Also: I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
Publishing, let me write a media literacy book, I am begging you. I keep being told that there's no appetite for this...
But how can there NOT be, when it's an urgent and pressing issue, especially with how we aggregate news + use of AI?
