Did AI kill your job? If so, I want to hear about it.
The response to my story on the AI jobs crisis has been overwhelming. I heard from so many people impacted by AI that it made me want to collect and organize these stories to better understand the phenomenon.

Per usual, traditional media sucks at reporting on science. No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction after 10,000 years. Here's a good explainer on what actually happened.

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction
Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species

just imagine working at microsofft and thinking “let’s spend billions, steal a load of intellectual property, and destroy the planet to make an interface to write bad essays” rather than “let’s update MS Word so users can comment on footnotes”

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.

The will of Louis XVI is not printed, but woven.
The result is incredible. This is in a way, the first typeface designed on a grid before the invention of the pixel?

Even with a typeface that seems got all necessary qualities: contraste, type size is what makes the difference between legibility and readability. It is your designer's choice to know when to switch from one to the other.

We “must move beyond doomscrolling, panic, and online denunciation, and figure out how to take action where we are, when we can. We will all have roles to play as this coup continues. One thing is clear: This society cannot be allowed to function on Musk’s terms.”
My weekly list of must-read articles, some resources for folks who want to take action, and my thoughts on Elon Musk's "AI-first" approach to gutting and rewiring the US government.

“The ads came in a long tradition of what might be called the Super Bowl’s tech-normalization movement, in which frontiers foreign or fraught are made safe by companies introducing them to us at our most guard-down moment: while we snack on chips hanging with friends.”
This Is What Big Tech Was Trying to Do to Us at the Super Bowl
Commercials during the Big Game sought to make AI our cuddly friend. It rarely worked.
