gAI appeals to management types because its output looks the same as work done by an employee because in both cases, they're often not looking too closely at what was done, but how quickly/cheaply it was done but it's the people who actually do the work that have to pay attention to the details

I believe that a lot of the backlash against AI is more fundamentally a backlash against the vilification of competence people are sick of laziness, of incuriosity, and of "efficiency" and profit at all costs and AI is the pinnacle of "it does work fast, at the expense of being right"

Trump views energy geopolitics “almost like the world is a Settlers of Catan board—you kidnap the president of Venezuela and, ipso facto, you now control all the oil,” @roryjohnston.bsky.social told me i took a look at why Trump's plans to pump more Venezuelan oil are a lot harder than he thinks

"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

DRAM prices mooning will hurt everyone and might cause a consumer tech recession on its own in the next 12 months even without the AI bubble popping. Hyperscalers are going to jack up prices for cloud resources, electronics manufacturers (Apple, Samsung, etc.) will raise prices, this is gonna hurt.

@victor-matheson.bsky.social hi there! I've sent an email as well - but hoping to get in touch for Canada's public broadcaster. I'm at anis@cbc.ca if you have a chance to connect!

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

I mean admittedly this was the basis of one of the best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Stardate 46125. But also ... in that episode, the Dyson Sphere was defective and caused an older ship to crash and trapped the Enterprise. So, I mean, yeah. Not a great idea there either.

a “dyson sphere around the whole solar system” is the dumbest goddam thing ive ever heard holy shit

Chatted about AOL on CBC's "Your World Tonight" this evening. Got to say the following on national broadcasts: "It's true, there was a whole 1998 movie about AOL, dial-up, and love." "Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks probably don't use dial-up anymore." Journalism, truly. CBC News has learned.

Revising data is commonplace in statistical analysis of national data

Fred Wellman@fpwellman.bsky.social · last yr.

The “revised down” numbers are just an admission of lies that they carried to pass the most destructive bill in recent history. Energy prices climbing, student loan processing up, healthcare cost increasing, and food. Now new tariffs. He builds a $200M tacky ballroom. This is the New Gilded Age.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced today that it will begin phasing out its operations, following Congress’s recent decision to revoke previously allocated federal funding. CPB said it is initiating an “orderly wind-down” after nearly six decades.
