I just finished For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn and it's a 5 star for me. What seems like a silly idea based off her long running (600+ episode) tiktok series, has been turning into an absolutely lovely and funny novel that takes place in the afterlife.

look not to say that she isn’t doing the right thing here but it is baffling to me that anyone three years ago let alone in the year of our Lord 2025 still uses Twitter
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

it is almost Christmas which means it’s Muppet Christmas Carol season and that, in turn, means it is time to revisit this delightful interview with Michael Caine, who loves everything about that movie even more than you do

My mom came today and gave me my Christmas present, which was a cool puzzle of banned book stacks. And like... it only took her most of my life to figure out a cool gift to buy me without having to have any direction and just like, knowing me? What a concept.

Was really challenging to participate in this, but I think I was able to pen something real, important, and personal to my experience in AI. Remember that GenAI is not *all* of AI nor all of what it should be.

AI and crypto have created the illusion that all is well with the economy — even as Trump has taken a wrecking ball to it.
When the AI and crypto bubbles burst, we’ll likely see the damage Trump’s wrecking ball has done.
Be warned.

It seems there are exactly two kinds of stories about generative AI:
1) wildly exuberant stories about what this stuff will do sometime really soon (trust us!), and
2) stories like this about how some actual use of gen AI fails fantastically
oh, wait, I forgot:
3) gen AI is pretty good at fraud

“Internal tests found that the AI was generating podcasts riddled with errors and bias, with anywhere between 68 and 84 percent of the scripts deemed unpublishable by evaluators across three rounds of testing.”

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
