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. 🧪

One book, two very different pastedowns. Leaf from a MS of the Breviarium in psalmos (Ps 107), attributed to Augustine or Jerome or Anonymous (Migne 26). And an attractive leaf from a later prayer book (Trier, Stadtbibliothek, G 1057)

Hey, so another piece of advice for people who are S-Corps: there is a company called Opolis that acts as your employer of record and will provide health insurance and other benefits.
If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

In Mexico, blackouts caused by data centers destroyed people's refrigerators and oxygen equipment in hospitals, and water shortages meant toilets couldn't flush in schools.

AI is another version of colonial extraction.
“By 2035, data centers globally are projected to use about as much electricity as India…according to the International Energy Agency. A single data center can also use more than 500,000 gallons of water a day, nearly as much as an Olympic-size swimming pool.”

I've been researching wine production and distribution in the middle ages and one of the earliest depictions I've found is on the Bayeux tapestry.
This is the Victorian British tapestry at the Reading museum, my own photo.
