Cool good and important!
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Remember:
When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.
ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Of course they didn't read the story.
They fed it into their buggy AI product and it spat out a completely wrong summary.

Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

I like to think of Suits as one of the last “normal” television shows
Doesn’t try too hard, doesn’t put on airs, plenty of episodes per season with a random vibe but also a good set of through arcs
I can’t help but think it’s enjoying a resurgence because modern TV audiences long for those things

Never watched “Suits” but had heard it was enjoying a second life on streamers. Walked in my 12 yr old watching the pilot & I am HOOKED. Could write a dissertation on it. Came out in heyday of “prestige” TV but isn’t “prestige.” Has network-esque churn-out-plots but isn’t network. Characters ROCK…

This smart person saying it better than I did.
USA really nailed that type of show, where it was high enough quality to not feel like a guilty pleasure, but not so high quality that it felt up its own ass. So many genuinely FUN shows, which tons of work to offer rad guest stars too. Love a USA network Pretty Darn Good show.

I didn’t know Pat but I saw him onstage maybe 75 times in 2002/2003 & he substantially influenced my decision to give my life to comedy. An extraordinarily funny man.
Actor and comedian Pat Finn, who appeared in sitcoms like “The Middle,” “Seinfeld” and “Friends,” has died after a years-long battle with cancer, his family said. He was 60 years old.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

the most notable thing JD Vance has done in the last five years is tell vicious racist lies about immigrants. If you think he hasn't taken a side on bigotry, you are an idiot. He's for it. He's very strongly for it.

My [MUSIC SERVICE] has alerted me to the fact that “Chorale” by @vijayiyer.bsky.social was the song I listened to most last year. I would’ve guessed it was “Starlings” from the same album, BUT IT WASN’T. youtu.be/R_gTgIf3QM8?...
