Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Investigators have released their preliminary report on the crash involving a LEGO 747 and Space Shuttle earlier this week. flightradar24.com/blog/flight-...

for an intern's POV, we decided to ask AI: Actual interns.

Walking around my house, trying to match the enormous bruise on my leg to things so I can remember what I ran into.

Me, at my U12 practice: “Hey [player]! You remind me of an Arthur Miller play because you’ve been selling all practice and you totally just died.” This is why there’s no soccer pipeline for national players. Coaches like me.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

A fitting emblem of that game.

England: “Surely the bunkering strategy that didn’t work while up by one goal will succeed this time. We gave up two goals then and now we have a four goal advantage. It’s a sound tactic.”

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

I love the thought that all the calls with Mitch were 20 minutes because longer than that and they would’ve had to pay for more AI tokens

These Republicans are probably lying about the calls, but it would be AMAZING if they’re getting scammed by an ai Mitch voice

Really sad to see this World Cup run essentially play out like everything else these days: gone from realistic expectations to overhype and bravado and then ultimately ending in a series of embarrassing self owns on a huge global stage.

Granted, England survived this match only so the inevitable crushing defeat later will be that much more emotionally devastating, right?

Never in like a bajillion years did I think that England would play Mexico IN Mexico and win, let alone playing a man down for a third of the match. Absolutely wild. I actually feel bad for you, Mexico fans. This must feel soul crushing.

“This game is awesome! I’ve never seen anything like this!” Oh really? What if I told you that the USMNT played 4 to 8 games like this, 2 of every 4 years just to qualify for the World Cup?

Woodburn officials confirmed to me yesterday that it had terminated its contract with Flock Safety and removed the 23 Flock cameras that it installed last year. The City Council paused the use of Flock cameras in November. www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/l...

That sounded quite a lot like the National Anthem arrangement they used at the last Winter Olympics. I wonder if it was the same one. Definitely wasn’t the faster one they used in the last match.
