If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

SCOOP: Flock left at least 60 of its AI-powered, people-tracking surveillance cameras exposed and livestreaming to the open internet. We tracked ourselves. The exposure highlights the power of these cameras and types of things they're tracking. Not just cars.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

The politics of punishment is for losers and creeps and we're throwing that in the garbage where it belongs.
The politics of care is for winners and heroes and that's how we're fucking doing things from now on.

Fellow authors, important thread. God, I'd forgotten what a mess that Google Books thing was.
I think that if you are trying to understand the Anthropic book settlement, and you are not doing it in light of the (extremely) failed Google book settlement from 2011, you will never be able to understand what is happening.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

i attended a wedding in arpino, italy (in the apennine mountains of central italy) last weekend and it's absolutely true that italians will out dress everyone. also, their glasses frames are all on point and highly stylish. it was truly a feast for the eyes if you're into fashion or a glasses nerd.
