@weisenthal.bsky.social dismayed to hear ads for Palantir on Odd Lots. Worried about how it could influence your coverage of them.

For Halloween, I was a @dril.bsky.social tweet.
Wearing joker makeup under a v for vendetta/anonymous mask, and a printout of a 2015 tweet by dril that reads, "the jduge orders me to take off my anonymous v mask & I'm wearing the joker makeup underneath it. everyone in the courtroom groans at my shit"

If you remember this video of Chinese guys mimicking AI, then I've got a treat for you: I just talked to its creator, a 29-year-old actor in Hangzhou named Mu Tianran 穆天然, about how he captures AI slop's essensse so well, and why Sora 2 made him worry about his job.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.
But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed. After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Technical debt is a problem that compounds quickly. AI-generated code just upped the interest rate on that problem. Here's an article in @mitsmr.bsky.social to help you think about when it's safe to deploy AI-generated code, and when you probably shouldn't.

Someone just alerted me to this news by being snarky about it and friends, I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE I WAS PREGNANT WITH THE DAUGHTER WHO JUST GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE FOR A SEQUEL TO BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM.

It's a real shame that there's not a single Indian movie on that NYT list of 100 best movies of the 21st century. If nothing else, Om Shanti Om should be on that list.

While universities fight visa restrictions in court, American business is sleepwalking toward a talent catastrophe.
International students are 40% of U.S. STEM PhDs, who are essential to American R&D.
Business leaders: academia can't solve this alone.

When CEOs push for 120-hour workweeks, the notion of a 4-day schedule seems fanciful. But @julietschor.bsky.social's research on orgs that tried a 4-day workweek makes it seem surprisingly viable. My interview with professor Schor in @mitsmr.bsky.social.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

The one story I'm dying to read, and that hasn't been reported yet afaik, is how employees at Musk's companies, esp Tesla, have been coping with his shenanigans lately. Are they just that tight-lipped?

This is money already owed. For work already done. They’re asking SCOTUS to let Trump run the government the way he runs his businesses.

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.”

That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social.

“There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.
Musk claims DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials disagree.
USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

Anti-Indian racism is running rampant in the GOP. It’s only going to get worse from here.
Unfortunately, MAGA Indian Americans Should Have Seen This Coming
The racist posts from Musk’s DOGE staffer show a widening gap in the GOP between its base and its wealthy technocratic elite.
