The global average concentration of the CO2 surged by 3.5 parts per million to 424ppm in 2024, the largest increase since modern measurements started in 1957. We might be switching from negative to positive carbon cycle feedbacks - a horrific disaster, if so.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.
But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Where are the good songs and art satirizing the ai boom and tech bros? @edzitron.com ?
Listening to commercial rock radio it’s slightly bizarre there’s nothing coming out about it. (Though I do understand how this might start out underground.)

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality.
This is how AI is killing translation work:

AI Killed My Job: Translators
Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.

Anthropic's CEO says that in 3 to 6 months, AI will be writing 90% of the code software developers were in charge of
"And then in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code," Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

FYI, if you're at all interested in building up a physical media library for any reason, a *lot* of unsold stuff has ended up on eBay for pretty cheap
That Perry Mason box set wasn't even $60, and it's 72 DVDs.
DVDs are old-fashioned... but so am I and I'm honestly loving the simplicity and ritual
