The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

For generations people “cut off” parents by moving away and mailing them a card once a year. Travel and long distance phone calls were expensive; distance effectively cut people off w/o being so explicit.
The difference now is that communication is cheap so cutting them off requires being explicit.

There's no hard data, so it's impossible to know for sure, but I suspect the number of adult children cutting off their parents isn't significantly higher than it used to be, and what's actually new is that the children are now explaining it in therapy terms rather than simply ceasing contact.

I have just the article for you: www.asimov.press/p/black-death
Measuring the Black Death
Reports suggest that between 40 and 60 percent of the population died during the bubonic plague that swept through Europe in the mid-1300s. What accounts for this wide range of estimates?

pinning this on my tl until i can remember where i read the piece about chatgpt-ese being nigerian english when it was being discredited for using inflated english: 'no one talks that way'
re: supposed overuse of the word 'delve'
re: supposed overuse of the word 'delve'
One thing that irks me about the "ChatGPT writes like me" piece is that it (surprisingly!) does not mention the actual Kenyans who built ChatGPT - the freelancers & academic writers from low income areas who were exploited and abused by the company in order to create that cadence.
