This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Crazy thing to type - SEX HOUSE in theaters nationwide October 2nd, apparently!

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · 15d

In the last few days, we've assembled independent theatres in LA, New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Chicago to air this thing.

Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile will be in theatres on October 2nd after all, followed by the first theatrical screening of Sex House. It is going to be fun as hell.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

In addition to being one of the foxes of all film history, Robert Redford made one of my favorite movies, QUIZ SHOW which I think is very underrated. Watch it today and then watch something he is hunky in. Perhaps three days of the condor

we taped our first episode of the season tonight and it was super fun, proud to work on this show and very much appreciate this reflection from the always thoughtful and funny Michael Ian Black

Michael Ian Black @michaelianblack.bsky.social · Sep 6

I think shows like ours, Last Week Tonight, The Daily Show, and others let people know they’re not crazy. The world is fucking crazy, and getting crazier. When we can laugh together, we’re demonstrating that there’s joy in resisting this shit. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/have-i-got...
