Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Smarter people than I can explain it with philosophical terms, but the Importance of Reading is the interiority.

You get practice building out a little vision of what you're reading, the scene, the voices, the intentions.

Turns out beyond active resistance, we can always on the inherent human urge to Avoid Stuff That Sucks
A bit of good news: I think you'd all be pleasantly surprised by how resistant the undergrads are becoming to AI. Institutions have lost their minds on this front, but more and more the students themselves are saying "no" to this horribly corrosive technology.

I have to confess "your browser's AI can be made to steal your banking info via prompt injection because it runs with full privileges and treats all text as equally authoritative sources of instructions, including the text of pages it's summarising" is more surprising to me than it should have been.

Hello Federal Liberals

There will come a time, even in your abbreviated lifetimes, that it will be embarrassing and morally disqualifying to have supported more:

bombs
guns
fossil fuels

Over:

trees
people

Staring at Canada's own gender-based analysis of its budget. Give you one guess at the main beneficiary of all the major spending investments....

Our money, our jobs, up in so much smoke
Canada budget: AI is going to do an awful lot apparently. We can cut lots of money, AI will deliver instead!

Public safety? AI will deliver
RCMP? You guessed it, AI will save the day
Fisheries? Yup
ESDC? Also on the AI train
CRA? See above

Gosh I hope this AI thing works out

Day One Zo is gonna show up in a Mets hoodie and track pants and be like "hey that suit was just a marketing bit. This is the real me"
watching the Mamdani campaign from afar during the primary, so many things were impressive, among them the incredible work his online video team was doing to spread the message in fun, creative, educational, invigorating ways that spoke to people

this is my story about how they did it

Still need more baseball?

We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.
