"The cost of building a company on theft should be the company itself. It should be everything you worked for because really, you didn’t work for it: You stole it." a must-read from @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social on the Anthropic settlement defector.com/if-the-thiev...

Okay pals, I've guested on many podcasts in my time but this one is special and I must insist you give it a listen, regardless of whether or not you are a fan of Star Trek Enterprise, starring Scott Bakula, T-Pain, Padma Lakshmi, and a Swamp Hick.

Good old JEK

15. Anything set in space should instantly get the “space horror” label because space is inherently terrifying.

I've been seeing a new round of hype for flying cars. As a professional wet blanket, it is my displeasure to say that no, you are not getting a flying car. Also, you don't want one.🧵

I'm a little confused about why *I* have to pay *them* when they use *my* ideas. #rikermendationgate

Every once and a while I wonder, are some of these pundits as bad as everyone acts like they are? And then I find that's yes they are.

These books are wonderful!

"Democrats need to stop talking about trans issues!" There is one party obsessed with micromanaging how trans people can live our lives, constantly trying to upend the status quo... and it's not Dems.

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

“The majority of the people on the team while I was there were suicidal to the point where we all thought it was normal to feel that way.” There is a mental health crisis in college football. @derekcrim.bsky.social and I explain for @canadiandimension.bsky.social.

In the past day I’ve heard two people who really should know better say they asked ChatGPT for factual info. ChatGPT is not a search engine. It is predictive text based on other people’s stolen writing; its whole job is to make stuff up. Please do not ask it for facts. Tell a friend.

This is a rough week - if you want a distraction, the latest episode of @enterprisesplain.bsky.social is out and we're talkin sexy slug ladies and alien hunter bros. Plus, I check in with @philplait.bsky.social to explain what a Rogue Planet actually is!

I wrote a guest post for Book Riot's LITERARY ACTIVISM substack (which is great and you should subscribe) about why this year's Banned Books Week needs to be different. I'd be real grateful if you put your eyeballs on it. It's time to fight back with our whole chest. bookriot.com/a-new-era-fo...

Oh hey tech firms what’s up, I found the miracle solution: throw this unwanted AI shit into the fucking trash where it belongs

I didn't think further disillusionment and a new floor for disgust and anger was possible and yet! There will be no consequences for the people of the Philippines bc we act on the global stage with impunity. But put it on our tab for crimes against humanity I guess. www.reuters.com/investigates...
