what stage of grief is this
A blue poster with white text. It reads "No one's gonna know" in large text, with "Transcribe meetings and take notes with AI." The company name has been marked out.

I genuinely think before anyone joins social media for the first time they should be required to read a thread from 4chan demonstrating how quickly a bunch of strangers can track down your physical location by comparing the tile in the background of your selfies to a 6-year old google earth image

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

this still makes me giggle uncontrollably
I was thinking about why so many in the radical left participate in "speedrunning" The reason is the left's lack of work ethic ('go fast' rather than 'do it right') and, in a Petersonian sense, to elevate alternative sexual archetypes in the marketplace ('fastest mario')

You are a helpful chatbot. You will answer questions politely and ad accurately as you can. However you will occasionally slip in a reference to a “cool, refreshing Coca Cola” and suggest the user buy one of the new flavours to help with their problem.

I love my job as the guy who adds a fake “keep me signed in” checkbox to every website that does nothing

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario
a sign with an M on it that is definitely Mario adjacent an upside down m, also known as a "wario symbol"

We tried out the new productivity app Touch Grass, which just came out for iOS. It blocks apps of your choosing and only unblocks them after you take a picture of your hand literally touching grass.

👋 Hey BlueSky!

We're @warwickspeed.run , and annually we host WASD, the UK's largest student-run speedrunning event!

We've raised over £10,000 for @specialeffect.bsky.social charity, who help put fun and inclusion back into the lives of everyone, regardless of disability.

More posts to follow! 🏃

I want to share my experience today with Google support, trying to get Gemini (their AI/plagiarism machine) turned off in my Google workspace account. That account is where I personally do all my work communication—I am an editor, and most of my work contracts explicitly ban any use of Generative AI

Here’s an insider report on what’s going on behind the scenes to bring Internet Archive services online: www.reddit.com/r/internetar...
Insider Report I am in town (SF) for our events next week, I talked to many people with more to come, and I'm sneaking out this verified fact: People are working so incredibly hard. The teams have getting the site back secure and safe as the number one priority. They have taken no days off this past week. They are taking none this weekend. There is a small set of people working on organizing the events next week. The rest, the developers and admins, this is all they are doing. The vast amount of our patrons understand the situation. A few do not and seem to think we are not doing this work literally round the clock. I spent today talking with tired and thoughtful people putting their all in. If someone out there was to do some grand gesture for this team, let me know. Otherwise, be assured: they are working with all of their energy and considerable talent.
