Underneath, in large friendly letters is the following: '#1: Yellow Jug'Instructions 1.

Good news, the audio version of Neurodiversity: A Very Short Introduction is out now on Audible, Spotify, etc.! I also have three codes for free Spotify copies, so we can do a competition. Just share and like this and I'll pick three people at random to get the codes this weekend.

Feels so strange to have lived through the time where Google actually worked Anything you’d want to find or just a quick search away Now it feels impossible to find anything Even articles I know exist, that I have read before do not show up

Yesterday Google made it very clear it will degrade Search to use the massive amount of traffic to goes through it to push its billions of users into generative AI tools they aren’t asking for. Search is no longer a portal to the web; it’s a portal to Gemini. disconnect.blog/google-is-it...

Google made its ambitions quite obvious in its I/O announcements in 2023. On Tuesday, it laid out the next stage of its plan. The company made it clear there will be no escape from its generative AI products as AI hype continues to grip Silicon Valley, despite public sentiment very clearly turning against it and the data centers needed to power it. Search is the center of Google’s business and its power, and the company is taking a serious risk with the part of its business that drives more than half of its revenue. While there will still be a box on google.com, it will no longer be a directory to the web. Now it will be the portal to Google’s suite of services, but especially its various generative AI tools it wants to force its users to become reliant on. In part that’s to try to win the AI war against its competitors, but it’s hard not to imagine it’s also a play to build user dependency on generative AI before it has to further jack up its prices.

My DMs on here should be open, and please do screenshot this if you feel the need and send it along to people who may be able to help. My desperation to see this material as a broke af person is very real

People of Bluesky, there's a bit of local queer history I've been writing around for some time, and it turns out a hefty, 400 page piece of it is held at Princeton. I can access it, yay, but it's $2 a page, which at 400 pages adds up! Anyone know any tiny research funding pots, or a Princeton pal?
