This is what every Democratic state needs to do, tell its state university leaders that they will lose all state appropriations if they sign the compact. Take the decision out of feckless college administrators’ hands.

Matthew Kirschenbaum @mkirschenbaum.bsky.social · 2d

Virginia State Senate Dems just brought down fire and fury regarding the “Compact,” notifying the President and Rector that UVA would lose ALL STATE APPROPRIATIONS if it signs and cedes the University to “federal political control.” Notably, their letter directly restates points made here by @siva.

Siva @sivav.bsky.social · 2d

The “compact” for higher ed is an unserious document written by unserious people from a position of spectacular ignorance. No one should take it seriously. Sadly, my bosses are taking it seriously.

Props to @pundus.art and @scorpiondesign.bsky.social who did a lot of work to get this Gladius remaster in good shape. With this remaster, all of the variants of the Saber family are now up to our quality bar. This makes the Saber family the fourth fully-remastered family of starships complete!

Pundus @pundus.art · 2d

Coming soon to #StarTrekOnline , the Gladius-Class has been remastered to our current visual standard, and as usual, this will be free for any owners of the Gladius Escort Refit and usable on any ship in the Escort (Saber-Class family)!

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing

There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

The Hired Steel folks did a supercut of all their episodes and it clocks in at 22 minutes of amazing robot-on-robot-on-tank action. I think this is a great look at how cool #Battletech is as a setting and a vibe. Even if you're not a BT fan, you'll have a ton of fun!

Every story among the 35,000 statistic matters and everlasting shame on the corpos who delivered this hell for "shareholder value" and anticipated (though never realized) AI outsourcing.

Money men are the worst decision makers.
