Neronha is *constantly* pushing back against the crap coming from Washington. I hate that he's term limited. Wish he'd run for governor. Or senator.

This (about the 'new' Grammarly AI toolset) is absolutely terrifying, not because the tool is good, but because it is an easy, all-in-one, way to avoid thinking any thoughts or doing any work at all *and 3000 universities say its OK to use*.

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.

But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

A question for writers. I was thinking about the continuum between plotters and pantsers and wondered... Does writing style match your living style?
That is, are plotters more prone to organized clean workspaces while pantsers are more prone more chaotic and messy spaces?

If you ever feel like your self-promos are "cringe," just remember that Neil Gaiman used his first statement addressing the multiple credible accusations of sexual assault against him to try to get everyone hyped for his new book.

“The left is missing out on AI!” YEP. Most of us want to miss out! If it ever proves its actual usefulness to our actual lives, stops plagiarizing, and is no longer an environmental disaster, maybe we revisit. Burden of proof is on the industry. So far they’ve done the opposite of that!

I had a student once wax poetically (unprompted) about stuff like this. Including how the moon was really a space station keeping an eye on Mars and how the asteroid belt was a planet that got Death Star'd by the moon and we had to secretly pay tribute to moon people to keep Earth alive.
