Yeah, just caught a student wearing these in my classroom on Monday. I went thermonuclear - not on him at the moment, but I emailed all his teachers and the principal and parent; he almost got away with wearing them during the PSAT.

New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I have somehow found myself slowly in the middle of my... [counts the stars] tenth or eleventh rewatch of Elementary, I think? And in commemoration of that, a reminder that I have a newsletter, and some *eighteen months ago* I wrote an issue about *just one* of the things I love about Elementary:

I finally got new glasses. It turns out my grade is lower! And got reduced to reading glasses that I only need to use while working. Now I have to get that lanyard for glasses so I can take it off without putting it down.

I also hope this titanium alloy lasts long with me.

A fucking Holocaust survivor is saying that him witnessing the Western world cheering on a genocide is the darkest thing he's ever seen in his whole life.

Think about that for a second.

‘Israel’s daily cruelty in Gaza that we’re witnessing, and the political class in most of the Western world just cheering it on, is the darkest thing I've seen in my whole life.’

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but news / social media—especially when constant, chaotic, and unfiltered—can hit our brains like a DDoS attack: overload attention, flood emotions, and make it hard to think clearly.

It’s okay to step back and curate what you let in. Your mental uptime matters.

Yet again, someone who stays up for multiple nights in a row, slipping into mania while the chatbot does nothing to disengage. The easiest safeguard to add, and it seems none of these companies have cared enough to try.

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.
