I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

An aircraft passenger oxygen mask: a drop down passenger mask with air bag and yellow plastic mouth and nose cover, oxygen tube has been cut; Demonstration model used by flight attendant crew for passenger instruction. Has text on the side indicating that it's non-functional.

I really wished EVERYONE who regularly idolises Prince had a read of Sinèad O’Connor’s autobiography. Their paths crossed obviously with her first big hit. He, according to her, was a very very creepy man. There is a whole chapter detailing why she described him this way. Bill Cosby Epstein creepy!

I think the biggest mistake you can make with BlueSky is to come here for affirmation. I come here (occasionally) to cathartically shout into the void. But its lack of algorithmic pigeon-holing means you can aimlessly discover stuff you didn’t know you liked. Trending video is brilliant!

I just don’t understand how VAR remained silent for both England and Spain these last two games. The only way to shut that type of crass football down,is to have a handful of players on a yellow card.If FIFA want football to be enjoyable they need to punish teams like Argentina for tactical thuggery

U.S. BlueSky passion for the World Cup underdog is making me think that they have only been watching football for a month. I don’t think I’ve seen one septic talk about what a game Bellingham had or the beauty of a Messi through ball. Bless em

Transferring large intrinsic parts of your corporation’s ability to operate using AI, whilst knowing that in future, you will pay increasingly higher costs for that computational ‘labour force’? CEOs are willingly sponsoring the enshitification of capitalism itself

Just checked into BBC 6 Music for the first time in a long while and Mr Grimshaw played (for my half hour journey) some of the cheesiest dance crap. I mean, if it’s meant to be a channel for the experimental and non mainstream, why are they playing tunes that have the musical integrity of primula?

Woke up to find the fat ginger nonce *hadn’t* nuked Tehran and it turns out half the snarky commentariat on BlueSky think it’s appropriate to wheel out the T.A.C.O. meme as a bit of glib social commentary. “He didn’t follow through on Armageddon threats! What a coward!” 🥴
