Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Rewatching #StrangerThings season 4. Running Up the Hill and the Hellfire Club are great but Hopper, Joyce, and Murray in Russia plot drags on and on. More Eleven flashbacks than I need.

I started season 2 of #GilmoreGirls and Rory just casually drops the r-word!? I am the same age as her, was much more boorish, and I didn't use that language in high school. ⊙﹏⊙∥

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

The #GilmoreGirls subtitles on Netflix suck but sometimes they fill me in on the pop culture references I'm missing.

Sookie got amazing concert tickets. Lorelai gives them away without asking Sookie. At least Rory and Paris got to go on a date? #GilmoreGirls

It feels like #GilmoreGirls: A Year in the Life just came out, but it's been 9 years. As long as the time between the 2007 series finale and 2016 revival.

I sat down on the computer this morning and answered important emails instead of logging on to the cursed Facebook, so I must be feeling at least a little better.

Rewatching Gilmore Girls now that I'm a parent, it is hard to see Lorelei and Rory so enmeshed. Lorelei berating Rory for allegedly having bigger boobs because she's actually mad Rory wants a relationship with her grandparents?

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

It's fun seeing all the East Coast folks wake up and share the news that @pewpewbang.bsky.social won Best Gaming Podcast! Well deserved and unlike anything else out there. It's not often that gaming content feels like it is for me.
