This is the best-titled academic monograph I have seen in awhile:
From Hard Rock to Heavy Metal: Metal Tool Production and Use by Indigenous Hunter-Gatherers of North America, edited by Michelle Rae Bebber and Christopher B. Wolff.

Why do we find our pets so cute? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons may have a surprising answer | Helen Pilcher

Known for bold raids on urban bins, raccoons are becoming more domesticated – so how they look will gradually change, says science writer Helen Pilcher

The world is not made of numbers. Quantifying is something we do TO it. Our emotions shape how we decide to do that, and then what data we over-value and what data we under-value when it comes time to actually make that decision.

Idly remembering the time I recommended “Just Enough Research” where I worked, a book so good I keep buying it again and again, and the only chapter my coworkers read was the one on how to do a minimally harmful survey, because they were dead-set on doing a survey, no matter what

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Going even deeper into this rabbithole, it's arguable that even an instituted acolyte (that's a properly authorised acolyte, not just a rando performing the role of acolyte) can make holy water, since the order of acolyte is above that of exorcist in old minor orders, and thus implicitly contains it
In fact you don't even need a priest - deacons can make holy water too. And you can bypass even that requirement by getting holy water from a shrine such as the well at Walsingham or St Winefrid's Well; some churches even have a whole cistern of holy water you can fill up from, too

Vibe coding has always been a trap:
"when computers got good enough for renderings, everything looked amazing at first. You could construct an amazing-looking thing in half an hour, but “It didn’t help us make good buildings. It helped us make things that looked like they might be good buildings.”"

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The problem with Hard Men is that whenever it turns out that What Needs To Be Done is actually something soft and feminine like giving away free money to buy food, healthcare, housing, etc, the Hard Men simply refuse to Do it and start Hard planning human sacrifices instead.

The problem with "you can just do things" is that other people can also just do things. You can get into an arms race of just doing things, or learn how to build shared intent.
One of those approaches is masculine and exciting. The other one actually works.
Guess which one AI tools encourage?

There are two questions I ask people making a product bet:
1) How will you know if you were wrong?
2) What can you do if you're wrong?
The answers for a bad bet are "we won't" and "nothing."
And that's exactly what big tech is doing: rushing forward with eyes closed and fingers in their ears.
