AI is a goddamn disaster on every level and every time someone tells me they use ChatGP for something, I immediately lose respect for them.
New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

When we miss the Old Internet it's not just nostalgia, it's missing a time when online culture was driven by people who were really good at written communication rather than people who really liked to be on camera and hear themselves talk.
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

I love BYTE magazine's covers of the early 80s, anticipating all the ways computers will enter our homes in the coming computer revolution years. Things like smart devices and appliances, envisioned in the only ways they could then: radio waves and ultrasonic.

Here’s something mind-blowing: “Turkeys Away” was only episode 7 of the series. Talk about a home run!

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.
In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.
