Amazingly enough I am on this list *multiple times* because of scholarly articles I coauthored. You should really check and see if you’re on it too.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

True story: on official university forms that ask what technology I use in the classroom, I sing the praises of the codex, still the best tool for teaching literature in a group setting

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

I watched a young adult person just struggle his way through counting coin change in a line and we really need a lot of public health information campaigns, a 24/7 public Sesame Street channel, & a moratorium on all education debt.
We will get more prisons, eugenics and AI.

The way people are losing their fucking minds over a proposal for a publicly owned grocery store should give you some insight into how a proposal for public libraries would be greeted today if they didn't already exist.

men all over the world wasting millions on hair growth treatments when they should have just run for nyc mayor against cuomo
Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me.
His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard.
This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

Usefulness of AI for writing texts/emails suddenly worth reconsidering
The use case of reducing the labor of modulating your tone with thin-skinned asshole boyfriends was one I hadn't considered and a whole new depressing topic for analysis.
