Enjoyer of all things Chicago. Bat flips are good & I would like to explain the infield fly rule to you. 🇵🇸 Abolish ICE.
Few inconsequential things have annoyed me like the proliferation of the phrase, “not on my bingo card.” Bingo is not a game of prediction! Have you ever played bingo? Why is everyone okay with this!!

Guaranteed that the Cubs will spend $53 million next year on new players who do not come close to generating the value that Schwarber and Diaz will. But the Cubs will spend it on like five guys and act like it's money well spent. When it's just not.

So many people have dismissed me because it's a bubble and bubbles burst, but like, this one needs opposition. This bubble NEEDS to burst, and the entire apparatus of rich people is trying to reinforce it. We have to make AI not only a class traitor thing, but extremely dorky and uncool.

They are trying to cram it down our throats so deep it can't get dislodged. And short sighted, greedy, uncritical people are just lapping it up. One of the reasons I'm so loud and aggro about this is I hope people not paying attention get wind that not everybody is just okay with this happening.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Damn, does this ever speak volumes.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

No good comes of Wisconsin sports teams. Ever.
“Of course they got it right,” Packers Coach Matt LaFleur said with an exaggerated wink of a controversial timeout call during Green Bay's win to open the NFL's Thanksgiving schedule.
Analysis | NFL Thanksgiving takeaways: Controversial timeout gives the Packers a boost
The Packers used their fourth-down success, Jordan Love’s passing, Micah Parsons’s pass-rushing and a questionable timeout to win, 31-24, in Detroit.

Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
