So one of the World Cup matches here on Seattle is supposed to celebrate LGBTQ+ fans. Unfortunately the two teams "randomly" selected to play that match are... Egypt and Iran. This World Cup is already cursed.

We accept a level of error from generative AI that would get any even semi-competent professional disqualified as such, and depending on the field, we would arrest and probably try a competent professional with such an error rate
It is so striking to see the disclaimer "AI can make mistakes. Check outputs before using" on every single piece of software. Imagine the equivalent warning label on the Ford Pinto. "The fuel tank ruptures and bursts into deadly flames when crashed. Do not crash the Ford Pinto while driving"
I will be teaching about Ford Pinto case in my sociology of law lecture tomorrow on the risk society & collective harms. It is clear that the development of (gen) #AI fits in same capitalist & risk logic but big difference is that this type of corporate behaviour has become normalised and accepted

The whole of my life, the anti consumerist, anti corporate, anti capitalist message was that we all “owned too much stuff”. But it turns out that owning stuff can actually be both a comfort and a rebellious act, because making you rent it keeps you on a much shorter leash, at their whim.

More dudes should aspire to be MacGyver. Or at least a Riker. “Masculinity” today is like if they put Revenge of the Nerds and the bullies in the Cronenberg Fly machine with a 40-gallon vat of protein powder.
I'm re-watching Magnum P.I. and I can't believe how vastly superior the 1980s ideal of masculinity is, vs today's whining, lying misogynist edgelord ideal that we see in culture all the way up to the Presidency.
The 50's stereotypical man had at least some other things to offer. Typically noble or stoic. Perhaps serving the greater good. Instead it's now a bunch of energy drink selfish neurotics who spend too much time at the gym and have no developed personality at all but being online.
