So I think I might have broken my toe. Regulars may remember that I dropped a frying pan on it, and while it did hurt, it was not as much as I would have imagined. However, it now has a calcified-feeling lump on it, and is still tender to the touch. A nurse friend said probably a hairline break.

Nice to meet a fellow AI sceptic in the form of a young man (early twenties). He knew as much about it as I do.

Did everyone spontaneously applaud Amanda Palmer in a Havelock North cafe? A Spinoff investigation

Zitron was an AI sceptic from the start. I remember listening to him way back at the beginning of 2024 when I was trying to find voices of dissent and he was almost a lone voice against the madness. Great to see he his growing schadenfreude.

Sooooo Amanda Fucking Palmer has booked a concert in Waiheke in January - i.e. where her victim was assaulted. Pure class! The link to tickets was almost immediately taken down by my understanding is that you can book through her Patreon. The fucking AUDACITY.

I'm finding that after all the middle-aged and body-diverse rep in OFMD I'm a bit spoiled, I have a harder time engaging with "young and hot and muscly". Where are the fuzzy saggy bits

Incoming hot take.
I very briefly worked in academia in a non-academic role.
I’d say a solid 50% of the academics I worked with gave zero shots about their output, were there to flex, and would be more than happy to spit out AI “research” to maintain their positions.
Maybe 60%

I had the fucking BEST idea for a book, and I think you’ll love it, and honestly I think it’s kind of genius, and, and… anyway, it’s not what I usually write but I’m going to do it. It’s fanfic adjacent but not so I think it’s a self-publish.
