i built an ad-free listener-supported internet radio station. we play new music, forgotten classics, indie, alternative and some deeply weird stuff.
i write the software that runs it (worbler.bsky.social) and from time to time get to be one of the many real-live-human DJs making shows: uncertain.fm

it's honesty a little weird to me to see people who are hostile to ai in art and writing, but openly advocating it for things like code
it kinda feels like a value judgement, "this isn't worth my time" or maybe perhaps "it's cool to exploit people writing code but art is where i draw the line"

"wages have been flat for decades" is an extremely simple, obviously true concept that explains about 80% of all handwringing op-eds and for some reason they just won't say that

mods on vacation. time to deep fry a turkey inside the house
Note: The social media person is taking a planned vacation next week. Recalls will go out on Thursday as is the custom but subscribe for recall emails so you don't miss them. The social media person will be *absolutely unreachable* and any content you see from our accounts will be pre-scheduled.

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

At Google, speech critical of ICE is censored from the company's internal platform, employees who speak out are served with warnings, and leadership refuses to acknowledge a petition that's now gotten 1,200 employee signatures.

Google is stifling anti-ICE speech in the workplace as 1,200 employees call on the company to cut ties
The search giant has made it harder and riskier to protest its policies. Workers are still fighting back. Plus: A community takes down a data center, QuitGPT, and the 5 worst Super Bowl AI ads.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Dell has been on this beat since the very beginning and points out a thing often missed: the cost to all of us for Amazon’s loss prevention strategy is a nationwide surveillance network.
Ring is first and foremost a scheme to charge Amazon customers to deter crime that costs Amazon (not the customers themselves) billions annually in refunds, returns, double shipping, and customer service overhead.

Yikes here are the numbers for the past 12 months. Everything is pretty much dead except healthcare/social assistance. Note that healthcare growth is largely not about the business cycle -- it's about the aging of the population and more elderly people needing care.
