My favorite genre of thinkpiece is "the way you use AI is roasting your brain right inside your tiny baby head; however the way I use AI actually makes me brilliant and powerful, kind of like a god or maybe even stronger than the gods"

Is ref cam the reason the refs are always in the fucking way on the edge of the box this tournament? Consistently in the way of progressive final 3rd passes

Reminder: it is still *illegal* in the UK to rip a legally bought and owned CD to MP3 on your computer. But Google will likely convince the UK govt that every creative endeavour should be available for it to remix and regurgitate, entirely for free. One rule for the public; another for megacorps…

🚨 Google continues to lobby the UK government to hand the work of the country's creatives to big tech companies for free. 🧵 1/3

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

It's like The Simpsons Mayor slapping a "No Swimming" sign next to a lake with toxic waste being dumped into it by the power plant, and being like, "My work here is done."

Constantly forced to listen to old men complain that young people won't watch football (the most popular game in human history) anymore because they don't have the attention span. Now we have to sit through 52 players walking out for anthems and enforced three-minute breaks in each half. Nonsense.
