Youngest child, who has very long hair, which they insist on keeping but hate having brushed: "How long will it TAKE??"
Me: "You're almost done. It's beautiful."
Child: "I don't want to be beautiful."
Me: "Oh? What would you like to be?"
Child: "I want to be weird."
Truly this is my child.

I'm a PTA volunteer and handle assorted digital stuff. Organizations are constantly distributing flyers for families with QR codes on them -- digitally. Weird example of how designing everything for phones falls down. (1/2)

I adore Fei-Fei Li and was intrigued that she's been talking lately about "words to worlds". But I feel the disappointment deep in my gut that apparently what's meant by 'world' is 360 image gen.
I know it's AI culture to release something and presume extrapolation, but that doesn't work anymore.

To an extent this is already true, but as elsewhere, AI will accelerate it: the "machine internet" will expand & complexify. There is an enormous amount of work to be done to make it legible, tooled for human collaboration. The legibility is bidirectional; new info structures for machines as well.
The launch of ChatGPT Atlas makes me think about how inefficient it is for AIs to use websites made for humans. It seems clear that we'll end up with a lot of traffic happening directly between AI agents - I hope that as we move in that direction we can keep a focus on standards and interoperability

JACL honors everyone who has served, from the Issei who fought despite being barred from citizenship during WWI, to the Nisei who served in WWII even though their families were incarcerated, and to many others who have served then and now.
We thank all of them for their service.

My friend Prof is selling these adorable bats, in case you're looking for a tiny handmade friend. They give each one a unique name and it feels like each one has a unique personality. Worth a look! 🦇

It should be an actual law that if you send internet hate on the basis of a thing you did not read, you absolutely do get fined the amount required by the paywall & it gets sent to the author.
You should get banned for death threats, but when you TLDR'd it first? Jail. Jail for one thousand years.

It’s futile but I guess I just want to say again that the people who are sending me dozens of YOU’RE NEXT CUNT DMs & website comments 100,000% did not actually read the Substack piece they want to murder me over because IT’S UNDER A PAYWALL & I MAKE SO LITTLE I KNOW THEY DIDN’T ACTUALLY BOTHER
Great talk, Elon, apparently the numerous death threats and violent porn sent to me because I spoke are super wonderful.

I've worked on the far-right beat for nearly 10 years now, and I've had to handle sorting through a lot of misinformation on politically motivated violence. And this is by far the worst instance of it, including from a lot of people who should really know better.

I’m so tickled by this story. We confirmed this game has been hanging in the store at $12 since MAY, and that it came from a random Famicom lot from Japan, meaning we paid no more than $3-4 for it.
Happy this is going to a good home! Proof that sometimes you can still get one over on the pros!

It happened, I am now the proud owner of the RAREST FAMICOM CARTRIDGE* (that was commercially released in Japan)
I cannot put into words how happy I am, especially with the added bonus of that price tag no less!
