Sometimes, the very concept of big-business money makes my head hurt. So, Facebook's Metaverse fell through, wasting 77 billion.

A few months ago I read that many datasets used to train these AI models are full of porn to ensure “women aren’t underrepresented in the dataset.” Once you know, you see it everywhere.
This was just sent to me by an LAUSD parent. A 4th grader was assigned to design a book cover for Pippi Longstocking using Adobe for Education. Here is what the AI tool generated:

Campaigning as ever to get the original -complete- version of Muppet Christmas Carol added to Disney+.
Genuinely don’t understand the hate for “The Love is Gone”; it really breaks the weight of the scene to have it gone.

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids
The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.
This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

I think Keith’s sentiment behind this piece is already potent, but I’m also not afraid to say this work scares the shit out of me - the prospect of having your time cut short by something outside your control, leaving your story & legacy hanging, unresolved…

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Between diffusion models and LLMs, tech has inflated a trillion dollar bubble around automating activities that have immense social and cultural capital—writing, art, photography—but little actual capital. It’s harmful to education, culture, and society with minimal overall benefit

Terms of the agreement to have her move will not be available until the county’s Industrial Development Agency votes to finalize it, likely in mid-December. Earlier this year, the county agency reportedly offered $100,000, while the family countered for $10 million.
