To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

No wonder so many AI developers have been begging podcasters to use their transcription tools. Transcription makes good sense, for humans. For an LLM that can’t tell the difference between an audio script and a screenplay, it’s manna.
"the camera, if there were one"
IT'S AN AUDIO GAME
"The wind knocks the chimes again. The screen hums. The cursor waits, politely patient.
MUSIC: The Zombies, Run! theme returns, minor key first, then resolves, swelling to full as we fade to black."
Sir, this is an audio drama.

what are the problems with this, for an AUDIO GAME:
[The camera, if there were one, would pan across a silhouette: a skeletal radio mast half-swallowed by ivy. Inside the shed: a jury-rigged array of transducers, a car battery, a cracked laptop with a glowing cursor. On the screen, a log scrolls.]

@leylinehighrewind.bsky.social I think I remember an episode where there were underground canals, so they had to paddle their way through a subterranean labyrinth, and Dr. Gosford had to explain why the hypertonic particles in the solid gold mask of Agamemnon were important. What was that about?

I think we all need to constantly split hairs as much as possible to deflate the magical thinking our decision-maker class has adopted around AI. I basically have to do this all day at work. If you’re using “AI” as a shorthand for “a magic wizard” around me I will quibble until you understand that

Eels can’t take flights back to the Sargasso, so this Heathrow expansion seems pretty bad
#HeathrowExpansion will disconnect the internationally-rare chalk streams of the Chilterns from the #Thames. For Eels and other migratory fish to get to #StAlbans, #Hemel, #Chesham, #Amersham etc etc (or back to the Sargasso Sea) this is catastrophic.
