There's a café in Berlin with the worst possible egg-related pun: "Café EGGRYTHING". Why did they choose that when "Ist mir Eggal" was right there?

Sure, invite me to your mysterious meeting. No need for a heads-up or a note in the invite explaining what it's about. Don't sweat it, just send it; the fewer details I have, the better. I thrive in the nebulous void of information, I love being unprepared & exposed to the Great Unknown from 9 to 5.

I can't stop thinking about this article on the privilege of writing bad at work. It totally matches my experience. I also think bad grammar doesn't just worsen as people go up the ladder, it also has to do with most people in power being unempathetic sociopaths tadaima.bearblog.dev/privilege-is...

After years of climate anxiety, I'm honestly relieved to find more and more confirmation every day that I wasn't worrying for nothing, like I always do!

Sinceramente, unos octógonos negros (quizá los polígonos más terroríficos de todos) no solucionarán el problema. Como diseñador, propongo algo más sencillo: calificar la nota del Nutri-Score con otro Nutri-Score (pero más pequeño). Así el comprador entenderá cómo de buena es la valoración asignada.

Ejemplo, imagen de una noticia de El País de hoy. Izquierda, España. Derecha Chile. No necesito que nadie me diga si es saludable o no con una formula oscura como el nutriscore. Solo necesito saber bien claro las 4 elementos que destacan en Chile. Yo decido, con información veraz

When hackers stole my Instagram username in 2024, they had to use social engineering skills and the obituary of a person who shared my name. But now, thanks to the power of AI, they can just use an VPN and ask politely. That's what I call progress!

New: Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the email associated with the account they want to steal. Shockingly easy, terrible flaw associated with offloading support to AI: www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

If you are giving a commencement speech, my recommendation would be to enthusiastically mention AI as much as possible. I hear people love it! It's also a type of content I recently discovered I enjoy a lot. Thanks!

"It's Fun to Use Your Brain!" is a series of books that I'll begin publishing in 2030 that will make me rich thanks to the damaging effects of AI on reasoning and critical thinking skills.
