I conducted a seminar and workshop on AI-produced monstrosity, or Generative Monsters, to the Center for Digital Narrative at the University of Bergen, Norway yesterday. High point of my academic career for sure.
What I love about technical papers is that the PDF will be like 30 or 40 pages and then it turns out the paper itself is only ten pages and the rest of it is just the work cited

Feel like I must be the only one who likes Liquid Glass.

Even before the update the way I set the display on my phone was similar to this redesign
I really wanted them to put a bunch of AI buttons that I accidentally push in the screenshot tool. So happy they did that. Also, Liquid Glass looks great and not dogshit

I'm looking for media scholars and ethicists with expertise on how the memory and likeness of dead people has been handled historically and is changing now with AI. Any recommendations?

(I know, that's pretty niche. Which is why I'm asking for help!)

Really heartening to see so many agents retreat with their tails between their legs.

Fascist thugs. One with hope this does laying psychic damage to their tiny Nazi brains
Feds backed up a tiny bit. More media arriving. Someone starts a chant of "they're our neighbors, you're invaders!"

Asked rec center staff how many kids they have inside right now. He told us "a decent number" and they're closing up soon, have locked the front doors.

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested.
It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

can someone explain to me why, of all things, it is opening the camera app either makes my iPhone crash or slows it down considerably

I will say though the incidental perk of being on a sold out train is the venomous tone used more than once now by the conductor to announce all seats must be free and to remind passengers of the "magical technology" known as headphones
I'm never taking the train the day before the beginning of the semester again.

This is the first time in years it's been sold out; on a Sunday, no less. What the hell???

I love you Philly
This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.
