Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more."

Excluding covid, the unemployment rate is at its highest level in over 8 years.
The labor market is deteriorating particularly quickly for young workers, who are facing a 10.6% unemployment rate.

@hhharlow.bsky.social is such a good writer. and reader. and writer about reading.
Read 90 books this year, worked 15 or so of them into my annual round-up for @cogwbur.bsky.social.
Not bad for a 1000-word piece.

In 2025, I got by with a little help from these books
I find even the “hard” books, the ones that reflect our world, are bearable because great novels also work in the beautiful things that make us human, writes Hannah Harlow, co-owner of independent boo...

it’s the willful ignorance that bugs me most of all. my appreciations to all who dogpiled and ratio’d this nonsense.
R U ok with paying 8 to 12 pct more in taxes and possibly losing your standard deduction ?
R U ok with losing access to different curative medications and care because the government can't afford to pay for them, even after taxing all the billionaires 90 pct?

I don't want to divert the main thread too badly so starting a new one. Everyone post your comically shitty and small local Trader Joe's parking lot and argue about why its The Worst In America in the replies.
I know everyone thinks this about the parking lot at whatever Trader Joe's they shop at, but I would like to nominate Bressi Ranch's Trader Joe's as the most comically undersized, badly designed and psychotic TJ's parking lot in America. A real exemplar

Fonts are in the news, so I'm going to take the opportunity to port over an old thread: what was typography like in the Soviet Union?
Spoiler: they did not just have 1 font everyone had to use. As a matter of fact, there were 39.
One of them, you can see here, used to great effect for "Chernobyl."

This is great - and terrifying. I wonder what U.S. medical or scientific literacy looks like.
This creater puts "reading levels" into perspective in a really helpful way, so sharing it here.
