I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

I wrote on @boingboing.net about the physics professor who became Uruguay's energy secretary, and within five years had the country on 98% renewable energy.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

We're basically creating the LeGuinian Earthsea magic system as a way to speak to machines, but without the Taoist moral system underpinning it...
thinking about the incredibly ominous simulated LLM jailbreak poem from the "Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models" paper
they didn't want to publish a working jailbreak poem for a safety-critical domain so they wrote this one instead

The "bedroom coders" everyone loves to romanticize were selling shareware. They were selling mail-order software. Victor Hugo wrote Les Mis as a serial for a newspaper and he got paid by the word, which is why it's so fucking long. Labor can only exist if society values its existence.

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:
So recently in my dayjob our deployment pipelines broke for various reasons. Nothing could be deployed during that time. My line-manager's suggestion was "just use the pipeline's own built-in AI to debug it. Lo and behold, the AI reported that everything was fine and the pipeline was functional...
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape.
Designed for original hardware, it functions as a installation piece that can be quickly installed using a SNES and a CRT.
