Using AI on Notepad is like … I don’t know, carpeting the room your water heater is in. You do not need to do it, and all you do is create more opportunities for something bad to happen.
In fact the whole point of notepad is that it is as barebones as fucking possible.
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

James Van Der Beek was part of one of the most influential shows of a certain era, a show that loomed large to a certain generation of critics. Beyond that, he was talented, willing to poke fun at himself & seemed like a good man. Extremely sad news. Way, way too young. 💚 people.com/james-van-de...

I don’t really pay attention to charges of doomerism. I don’t know what it means offline.
I do know that refusing a version of how the future will unfold forecloses on the power that actually shapes that future. That’s not disavowing that tech changes are happening but they are in now a given.

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Overwhelming #cold & #freeze has caused extensive damage to our agriculture - ~Billion in losses - on top of extreme #drought has prompted a State of Emergency for #Florida. But what does that mean? It means our farmers will have access to help quickly, to ease the burden and minimize losses.

These are things every employer with workers in Minnesota can do. If you are a company with employees there, I am happy to help you figure out how to enable these accommodations, and would gladly work (for free) with your legal, HR, compliance and other teams as needed to solve any objections.
If it’s helpful; I am providing my employees with:
1. Clear workplace policies and org messaging
2. Increased individual safety and security support.
3. Additional flexibility generally.
4. An intentional (paid) day each week for rest and community support work.
5. Encouraging individual check-ins.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

I say this regularly. People use performative as a substitute for 'inauthentic' and we could all just say the words we mean to say. Erving Goffman helps us to understand that we perform all of the time in real life. Life itself is often a performance of self.
People have worn out "performative." We often perform things that are real, you know. Posting is a kind of performance of one's politics. Performative doesn't actually mean "fake" or "empty," it just gets deployed that way. We actually need performance. Case in point: last night's performance.

Economist John Maynard Keynes wrote hopefully of “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren” in 1930:
“The love of money as a possession—as distinguished from the love of money as a means to the enjoyments and realities of life—will be recognised for what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity…”
