So just found out that Audible have silently removed six audiobooks from my library. Because I noticed, and complained, they gave six credits to buy them back again. They did this because the publishers updated the books and Audible just deleted the old versions.

This was arguably one of the strongest brands in the tech software ecosystem that they just trashed. This is Twitter to X levels of bad if not worse. Decades? of brand equity 💨

TV really made me believe that when you become an adult, all your friends live next-door and have a ton of free time and pop by daily to say hi and it has been a bitter disappointment that they absolutely do not.

So dinner... means breakfast, and breakfast is breakfast. And lunch was meant to be breakfast. So... It's all breakfast.

Not really, no? What we label "AI" came into being long after I reached competence and fluency in my writing. Professionally it's not useful to me, other than to occasionally poke at it to understand its current state. Also there are less environmentally destructive ways to spur ideas/structure.
Have you ever been tempted, to have AI write something, then basically challenge yourself to do something better. Not just changing every word, but going in different directions & basically using it as a roadmap of what not to do?

President Free Speech has struck again!
Trump wants to cancel TV licenses because he doesn't like what late night TV hosts are saying about him.
What happened to "stop cancel culture" and buck up "snowflakes?" And what happened to the First Amendment?

Read "There is no antimemetics division" this year and loved it, can't stop thinking about it. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a good sci-fi with a twist. Non stop and found it hard to put down.

@sorenbowie.bsky.social Was just listening to @quickquestion.bsky.social and was having a similar thought about the pointless repetition of reels and how it mirrors the whole "6-7" thing. It's pointless, low effort, attention seeking.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power
