Within days, Claudius had given away nearly all its inventory for free—including a PlayStation 5 it had been talked into buying for “marketing purposes.” It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear.
Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared.

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.
We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

In a recent bargaining session with our union, the Harvard CFO very solemnly informed us that both teaching and research were “money losing” ventures at the University. As if the whole point of a university isn’t converting money into knowledge! The financial reckoning of value is so, so toxic.

'whether LLMs can make “scientific discoveries” is no more interesting a question than whether Galileo’s telescope “really saw.” The better question is whether LLMs can be usefully integrated in the processes by which scientific knowledge gets made, validated, and disseminated.'
If you have to read anything about the prospect of “automating scientific discovery,” “agents for science,” or integrating LLMs into scientific pipelines, please let it be this essay by Kevin T. Baker: artificialbureaucracy.substack.com/p/context-wi...

When I went to university, the rector was not a highly paid nomad, who went from one gig to another. They were just regular professors who were elected to lead the university for a few years. Let's just go back to that system.
'Nottingham Trent University – which reported a £2 million deficit – paid its departing vice-chancellor Edward Peck a bonus of £66,000 in his last year in the job....Peck...received a total pay package of £435,000 in 2024-25 – up from £407,000 the year before.'
Vice-chancellor bonuses growing despite sector funding crisis
Universities defend decision to award some vice-chancellors larger bonuses than last year, with one private institution giving boss over £100K

of the influenza vaccine is low (against infection). What is forgotten is the protection from non-communicable diseases.
What if you could reduce your risk to heart disease by 40%?
What is you could reduce you risk to dementia by at least 10%?
That is what vaccines do!
