just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

and @lauralippman.bsky.social mentioned this episode w/Columbo promoting a sexist idea that a beautiful woman would not commit suicide -- he says this twice and it's aged very badly. Myrna Loy is a delight in this, I wish they had called her Mrs. Charles, though. columbophile.com/2016/09/24/e...

Episode review: Columbo Etude in Black

Columbo’s hotly-anticipated second season kicked off in grand style with the big budget Etude in Black, guest starring Peter Falk’s BFF John Cassavetes. But does it live up to the hype?…

COLUMBO S2, E1 -- hadn't seen ETUDE IN BLACK + yes it has Falk pal & Oscar nominee John Cassavetes (and his hair) as an egotistical maestro but big deal to me is the victim is played by Anjanette Comer, who grew up in Dawson TX, where I had a ton of family, & was my great-aunt's neighbor

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.
