"It’s clear that schools have become a battleground for AI companies who desperately want to get their product ingrained into as many institutions as possible...they are rich sources of unique data that can be used to train models...& many of them have massive budgets & rarely ditch a service"

Bill Oakley shared this sad news on Twitter, hadn’t seen it here yet: Dan McGrath has passed away. A fantastic writer for SNL, Simpsons, Mission Hill (he wrote many fan’s favorite episode), King of the Hill, The PJs, and Gravity Falls. Any comedy nerd of the last 40 years knows so much of his work

Read this thread. Everyone needs to understand the ongoing 'Problem' is not relegated to the game industry; it is a modular tumor in EVERY industry. Every sector, every field, every institution. The C-Suite's entire job is to HURT you; to take everything, while giving nothing. They are The Enemy.

boomers are acting awfully confident about how they speak to and about the generations that will struggle to finance their retirements

Mozilla deployed an AI bot that overwrote 20 years of volunteer Japanese translations, without consultation. JP community leader resigned, and the offer from Mozilla is to "hop on a quick call to understand why they're struggling". FFS. HN discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4583...

We *know* shockingly little about prehistory—we *speculate* about it, in ways that tend to reaffirm our own assumptions and biases, and then these speculations become sage wisdom about human nature, but only to the exact extent that they assert that women evolved to make sandwiches.

Every few months there's another tech ghoul promoting phrenology. As if we needed any more proof that fascism and big tech have the same goals

Ok folks. December and the surgery is coming. I have a check in for the surgery on the 12th, if you can share or give much appreciated. Last leg of this baybeeee
