A fediverse post from @slothrop@chaos.social that reads The LLM tech bros all talk about “frontier models” and it strikes me that this use of settler colonialist language is surprisingly appropriate. They’re enclosing the commons of our knowledge and our culture. They’re putting up barbed wire, so they can make us pay rent for everything.

But don’t forget the time traveling “nanopatticles”!
A screenshot of a tweet from Naomi Wolf saying “Terrifying. Also confirms/explains the conversation I overheard in a restaurant in Manhattan 2 yrs ago in which an Apple employee was boasting about attending a top secret demo: they had a new tech to deliver vaccines w nanopatticles that let you travel back in time. Not kidding”.

On its 50th anniversary, let’s remember one of the greatest legal letters of all time
A typewritten letter from the general councel of the Cleveland Stadium corp saying “Dear Mr Cox: Attached is a letter we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters. Very truly yours, CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP. James N. Bailey, General Counsel”

An animated clip from the cartoon “Thr Critic” depicting a tuxedoed man (Orson Welles) in a villa seated in front of a large plate of peas. The man says “Yes! Rosebud frozen peas. Full of country goodness and green pea-ness”.

This little guy was in our kitchen a few years back. Took me about five minutes to corral him into a plastic food container so I could bring him outside.
