“The promise of AI – the promise AI companies make to investors – is that there will be AI that can do your job, and when your boss fires you and replaces you with AI, he will keep half of your salary for himself and give the other half to the AI company.” — @doctorow.pluralistic.net

I like the medicalised framing of the metaphor—asbestos being a health hazard. @doctorow.pluralistic.net’s use is somewhat parallel, I think; something like, “what is left when the bubble bursts? Asbestos.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I am stuck between how much I hate all this for the people who have their work stolen and how much I am frustrated by people who believe they should be able to do absolutely nothing to verify where something is coming from and still be confident it’s going to work.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds. Check out the latest from our friends at Reveal: tinyurl.com/4cm2bsdr

*taps mic* Hey Millenials! You know what we're not gonna do? We're not gonna fucking watch that new HBO Harry Potter show because R*owling is a reprehensible human/transphobe/acephobe and we're not giving her money. Okay? OKAY?! Yes, I mean *you*. Also read a different book. Hell, *write* one.
