People often take issue when I say “we.” But I think it’s important to phrase it that way.
This isn’t what I want. It’s not what I voted for. But this is what’s being done in our name. It’s we.

i think it is important to say that yes, WE murdered eight more people. We the people.
We just murdered eight more people in boats.

The problem is not having ideas. The problem is that billionaires, are sitting like dragons on gold, on the stolen wealth of ordinary people's efforts - leaving them no time or energy to sit, work through, refine, and implement their ideas into books, music, film, and visual art.

So, obviously everyone's clowning on this article, which I will not post (they love hate clicks more than anything, don't fall for it), but here's my question: Who's "we"?
Ideas--even good ideas--are cheap. I already have more ideas for books than I will ever be able to write.

What if fuck you.
America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

For people thinking: "whew, it's just for classes where they teach about race and gender": (1) what is wrong with you? That's unacceptable. (2) the obvious goal is to dramatically expand this to limit what all faculty can teach
“At Texas A&M, internal emails show staff are using AI software to search syllabi and course descriptions for words that could raise concerns under new system policies restricting how faculty teach about race and gender.”

Records obtained by The Texas Tribune show how universities are using the technology to reshape curriculum under political pressure, raising concerns about academic freedom.

Can’t find a way to write this that doesn’t sound like a twee bromide but genuinely, if your end of year review is that you survived painful things happening in your life & the world, stayed empathetic in an inhospitable environment & treated yourself & others decently then that’s achievement enough

This truly articulates some of the issues I’m having with the narrative of hades 2 despite playing it constantly
also props to @jaymcastello.bsky.social for just casually tossing out "women are a sequel to men" putting a framework onto a concept that's been bothering me for years but i didn't know how to explain it or codify it previously

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.
