The Oatmeal's take on #ai art: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art?no_popup=1 As one would expect, it's profane, in-your-face, and quite frank about his opinions. But the conclusions are actually more nuanced than average, and I largely agree with his conclusions.

Physics Insight https://xkcd.com/3154/ When Galileo dropped two weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, they put him in the history books. But when I do it, I get 'detained by security' for 'injuring several tourists.' Explain xkcd: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/3154

I love how the first test many people run on a new model is the one created by @simonwillison.net : “The Pelican Test” ™️ I wonder in which release will OpenAI/Anthropic add this along the other metrics they share. reddit.com/media?url=https%…

Whoa. I saw functional languages as at the forefront of programming, I wasn’t expecting them to also be at the forefront of the Balkanization of our society. This is sad.

Yesterday's piece from @jamellebouie.net is the only high-profile piece I've seen that specifically discusses the watchlist, its effect on academics, and its effect on public attitudes toward academia as a whole. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o...

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

I bet the press will be putting this on the front page every day, because there's no double standard when it comes to this sort of thing.

Today @suhailpatel.bsky.social told me something I still think about when we talked about measuring the efficiency of AI tools for devs: “Always applying critical thinking when using AI tools will be the difference between devs who do well with AI and devs who don’t” Resisting “autopilot!”

More bots, courtesy of Claude Code: ‪@events-sitges-bot.bsky.social‬ This bot posts upcoming events in Sitges. It only posts a few times per week, as a reminder of what's coming in the next 4 weeks, so that one can plan accordingly. For all those expats coming to the town 😉
