Regardless of one's view on political violence, Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit and should not be lauded by the media simply for being killed.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

#Tesla #CyberTruck (Incel Inside®) with the deadly dangerous fraud Full Self Drive FSD
Runs straight into guard rail
Veers off road
(Thankfully driver was paying attention)
So, this probably marks the end of $TSLA #Autonowashing #Autopilot & #FSD lawsuits?

The only thing I’ve ever found it useful for is generating plausible nonsense, and most humans I’ve met can do that too
A sometimes-useful demonstration is to ask an AI chat agent about things you (or the person you're trying to convince) know a lot about.
The outcome is usually plausible, and correct-ish with some substantial flaws. It demonstrates the base problem well.
I watched this happen quite recently.

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone.

Authors published by the crowdfunding publisher Unbound will not receive historic royalty payments for sales of their books, unless Boundless, the new publisher founded following Unbound going into administration, "survives and thrives" 👇 #BookSky
Unbound authors will not receive unpaid royalty payments until new publisher Boundless 'is cash stable'

Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing.
Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust.
Unbound stole our money.

Harry is a ghost to the machine. He’s never been to school. He hasn’t seen a doctor since he was 10. He doesn’t have an IRD number, a bank account, or even the right to work or study.

This is not true. The primary message they get is not "YOU'RE BAD," it's grifters telling them that everyone else is telling them "YOU'RE BAD." There's a difference.
It's the classic cult tactic of telling your flock that the outside world is out to get them, and only you can save them.

It's a brutal time for young men, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a boy."
Absolutely perfect time for right wing monsters to sweep in with shitty answers.

Shoutout to Google Workspace for putting up subscription prices to cover the AI features they’ve added that I neither want nor use
Anyone know of a viable alternative to Workspace? I primarily use it for Drive, Docs, and Sheets. Email that works properly would be a nice bonus.
