"corporate leadership is starting from the premise that AI has (or will) radically change the business, and they're working backwards from that premise to find the evidence to support this article of faith."
Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying
It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.
How would I get by without AI? If I need a factually-dubious opinion expressed in a cliched manner with unearned confidence, I’ll just talk to a straight white cis man. I can get by on small-batch, locally-sourced, artisanal mansplaining, the way we always used to.
"Why has no one got any ears?!" I'm looking through icon libraries, but I think I probably just disturbed my husband.
The entirety of the NHS, from inception, was made possible thanks to non-white immigrants. Every accusation is a confession. They don’t want talented people regardless of skin colour. They just want white people regardless of skills.

Five years since my first date with the husband today. Time flies when you’re a pair of raging nerds with a Come Dine With Me obsession.

Amnesty are about to learn the hard way that apologising to JKR and her TERF minions doesn't end their vendetta against you, only emboldens them to ramp it up.

This was also why they had rapist Max Landis pitch a GI Joe script to them. There is an internal mandate at Ellison's Paramount to un-cancel sexual abusers.
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · last wk.There’s an even more sinister angle to Johnny Depp’s ongoing “comeback” tour as the new Scrooge—it’s a Paramount production and part of a slate of Ellison-backed conservative cultural takeover attempts.

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

The actress told the Hay Festival she is writing a film version of Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls to draw attention to sexual abuse in war zones

I think Emily Wilson is actually pretty spot on... it's an interrogation of the text and the film. It's very funny to me that people think they know more about The Odyssey's intricacies than she does...
