This is 100% infuriating.
The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

“Agents” is a boring name. We had the right idea with “daemons”. Why don’t we go with “djinns” or “daevas”?

Caught the final episode of the first season of Murderbot last night. The whole first season was just lovely, and I'm delighted that it's gotten a second season. Congrats, @marthawells.com, and everyone else involved, both for the season that's wrapped up, and for what is to come.
