I'm not an expert in Bronze Age era military tactics or anything, but I feel like if Odysseus' army was facing a cavalry charge, he would tell his men to point their pointy sticks at it.

I think every take about "so&so was fucking so&so" in YCSE is wrong EXCEPT that Nathan & Amanda had a fling BUT ONLY cuz he fell in love with Emma Stone on The Curse and Amanda became like a proxy for the pretty but chill ~cool girl~ actress, except it legit caused her divorce

I’m begging everyone who follows AI as a business venture to read this. It’s heavily sourced and deeply, deeply weird. And all the major players have ties to this oddball cult.

Meta's "accidental" suspension of the No Kings Instagram account — at a time when the org was posting updates from ongoing marches — was not an anomaly. I found dozens of similar instances of Meta "mistakenly" targeting left-leaning activist accounts, often during crucial election windows. My latest.

70% of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up. He rules. theatlantic.com/technology/2…

The Man Who Saved the Internet Yesterday

Ondřej Surý was a relatively anonymous volunteer working on PHP security. Then the internet exploded.

Wake up. Every profession deemed white-collar, the middle class dream, is about to be decimated by AI, at a much faster pace than anticipated, with monstrous social consequences.

I had been holding off on posting my thoughts until the interview was released. Director Iñárritu’s “DIGGER” is a film that all of us living in today’s world should see. It is a work that remains with the audience, provoking reflection and sounding alarms. As you absorb this film and carry it with you, a “tool (a digger)” for delving deeper into the future will surely begin to take shape within you. This is a film that will stay by your side for years to come.

Meta executives' view as they decide that AI is the most important thing in their lives
Ed Zitron
@edzitronOct 14
This is the shit you love to hear just as everybody is feeling extremely anxious about the opaque ROI of AI and specifically AI capex in Meta’s case. You want a story where your CFO says “it will be really bad if you’re wrong about this”
