In a year or two, when these companies are begging for a bailout b/c they're "too big to fail", remember this⬇️ They aren't even PRETENDING to work for the public good & should in no way receive public funds. ... They made their AI beds & they can hallucinate in it. www.jpost.com/business-and...

AI bet goes awry: Oracle fires 21,000 employees | The Jerusalem Post

Oracle laid off ~13% of its staff to fund a $300B computing deal with OpenAI. Now, a credit downgrade and $7B in required power grid guarantees put the massive project in jeopardy.

You know what goes well with a cup of coffee? A good book! But what if you've already finished A Dash of Demon? We'd really appreciate it if you left us a review. Doesn't matter where. Reviews are important to help get the book noticed, and the more the book gets noticed, the faster we get Book 2.

So I wanted to use Ellipsus and Ellipsus is brilliant except they didn't have typewriter scrolling, and I mentioned it on their discord, and now three days later they have added typewriter scrolling, and now Ellipsus might be the perfect writing app? ellipsus.com

A couple of years ago, Erin started talking about my office and what I needed to do to make it happen. I tried to downplay it because I knew we didn't have the money, but she pushed me to at least start on it, do a little bit. She eventually picked out a paint color and helped me start it.

“There’s not much Meta can do to convince me they genuinely care about user privacy when their whole business model is built on invading it." I don't like the tech. I don't want the tech. But there's never going to be a chance in Hell if a company like Meta is pushing the tech.

I’m on vacation but had some thoughts about the Meta glasses backlash + asked an expert how Meta’s handled privacy concerns thus far. tinyurl.com/3pwc632h

I’ve officially passed on my fourth copy of Achewillow as of this morning. Extra tickled because it went to the owner of the diner across the street from my house, where I read every Sunday over breakfast. Was elated to find that it’s exactly the kind of book Molly enjoys.
