The editors of the New York Times like Trump and want him to be successful at using the office of the presidency to do extortion.
martylederman.bsky.social Marty Lederman @martylederman.bsky.social · 18h
How did the @nytimes.com editors let this sentence appear?

"Critics have likened Mr. Trump’s approach to extortion, while others have chalked it up as a cost of doing business with this administration."

Huh it's almost like 87 percent of executive work and 57 percent of managerial work might be useless.
carnage4life.bsky.social Dare Obasanjo @carnage4life.bsky.social · 1d
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Dungeons & Dragons in the original Klingon #StarTrek
Dungeons & Dragons player rule book from the 80's redraw as the Bat'leths & Bihnuchs RPG Klingon game from Star Trek Lower Decks. Procreate illustration that shows a giant red orange and yellow snake, over a bed of molten lava with its mouth wide open fighting a Klingon warrior holding a bat'leth, with his leg sticking out the frame and rocks all around him. All in a red-ish background and off white text Text says "Bat'leths & Bihnuchs" in the classic 80's D&D font, and "ghetmeH Quj" (fantastical game for the purpose of role-playing) "vey wa'"(set one) and "taghwl' pabmey'" (beginners rules) in Klingon pIqaD There's a Klingon trefoil symbol at the very bottom

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

It's flu SZN, people
Ok so its one of those dept of health posters you find in bathrooms. The poster is 13 little comic book scene style squares displaying hands in various stages of hand warshing with music lyrics under each one to help you, the filthy hand warsher, know how long you should spend warshing your filthy, disgusting hands. The top of the poster reads, "Hand washing technique with soap and water." And the music that reads under each square is as follows, "(1) It's been a long road, getting to there from here(2)It's been a long time but my time is finally near(3)And I will see my dream come alive at last(4)I will touch the sky, and they're not gonna hold me down no more(5)No, they're not gonna change my mind(6)'Cause I've got faith of the heart(7)I'm going where my heart will take me(8)I've got faith to believe-I can do anything- I've got strength of the soul(9)And no one's gonna bend or break me(10)I can reach any star(11)I've got faith(12)(I've got-I've got-I've got) I've got faith,(13)FAITH OF THE HEART"

regular meghan: idk how this is happening but even as statements like 'israel is committing genocide' are becoming more and more acceptable to say in public by people in positions of power, it feels like concern and support for palestinians keeps declining and shouldn't it be the other way around?? @francoisgodard.bsky.social: "Feels like" is the operative term here.

can't concur. The Beatles as a signifier represented the obligatory mainstream -- the 60s referents that Nirvana, the Pixies, Pearl Jam et al were pivoting off were usually outside the Beatles/Stones hegemony. CCR, Blue Cheer, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Nuggets comp stuff, etc

Fuck I've found the one thing I agree with Ben Sisario about.
craigcalcaterra.bsky.social Craig Calcaterra @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social · 6d
As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.
New York Times newsletter stuff from Ben Sisario: "In 1987, when I was a budding teenage rock snob, the checkout lane at my local supermarket was crowded with magazines commemorating the Beatles album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” still hyped after 20 years. If I didn’t groan, I at least rolled my eyes. To this Gen X kid, few things were less cool than the Beatles, the musical embodiment of the cultural dominance of my parents’ boomer generation. I preferred the Pixies, Nirvana and whatever else caught my eye on MTV’s “120 Minutes” (though Kurt Cobain’s adoration of John Lennon couldn’t be ignored)."

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. 🧪
