enshittification of hotel rooms
Hotel toilet privacy is disappearing.
Glass doors.
Or no door.
Or a big window into the room.
Or frosted glass so that the light spills out.
Who is asking for this?

Yes Plz has entirely ruined my wife and I for coffee shops. There’s literally nowhere that makes coffee as good as we do at home, and we don’t even try that hard. Coffee nerds would be smart to get on this deal when it drops
Feels like spitting into a hurricane but I think I'm going to drop a video with a very generous discount code onto social media in the next day or two and see if I can lure some folks into the coffee fold for Black Friday.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

When I think of AI I think of Prince being asked about holograms of dead celebrities:
“That's the most demonic thing imaginable.… If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing... it really is demonic. And I am not a demon."

"The core problem with the pennies turned out to be a mostly psychological horror. In my article, I described this situation as 'the dumbest thing I ever heard' and 'the Perpetual Penny Paradox'—both terms I stand by a year later."

lately i've been thinking about how LLMs must feel really amazing to use if you're a dumbass, but incredibly frustrating if you're just basically competent in life.
Is AI making job recruitment less meritocratic? We're getting some v interesting research studies on this question now, and the news is... not good. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & I dive in, in the latest edition of our newsletter The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/e5b7...

I don’t think being trans is a social contagion but if it were that’d be fine.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)
