I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

Today’s premium newsletter is part 1 of my "What If...We're In An AI Bubble?" series, covering the scenarios that could burst the bubble - starting with token-based billing's destruction of most AI products, and the slow collapse of data center construction. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-what...

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

I wrote half of this. It was more than a Tolkien effort for everyone!

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

I'm thrilled to announce that Light Weaver is now available as an audiobook! After months of work, I'm so proud to share this new way to experience Satya's story.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
John Abernathy@john-abernathy.bsky.social · 7mo agoPhoto by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
The audiobook for Light Weaver by @lusinetorossian.bsky.social is now out on Audible! It's an action-packed story and was a ton of fun to narrate, so if you like YA fantasy, why not check out this one with Armenian mythological roots? www.audible.com/pd/B0GH2MLPRV

I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Dr. Casey Fiesler@cfiesler.bsky.social · 9mo agoHere's the reality this example illustrates: It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).
