Reading a new Sarah Vowell essay is always a delight.

Tis the season of Burning Man, where we once again decorate our bikes and drag out the bins of dusty decorations and supplies from our garage. Like Christmas, but for fun weirdoes.

Ok, I get it re: the Apple VR headset.
But where they lose me is that it's controlled by repetitive tiny finger pinches/swipes.
iPhones & keyboards already have shit ergonomics... why repeat that again when space isn't a constraint?

They're trying to launch the Ron DeSantis presidential campaign live on Twitter Spaces with Elon as host. But Spaces keeps crashing and the audio feed doesn't work and it's just... exactly what you'd expect from this squad of incompetent flamingoes.

🚂🚂 Choo choo! Welcome aboard the LLM hype train! It’s me, the conductor, Mr. Trust & Safety Vendor Trying To Sell You Something!
But actually, all aboard for a thread about how both the promise and peril of LLMs for online safety are sorta overstated.

Sound right to you?
