How the AI oligarchy devoured America How the AI oligarchy devoured America.

I know you're busy, but @motherjones.com just put out this epic cluster of stories/graphics on the new AI oligarchy and data center frenzy—including one on how AI billionaires are funding efforts to create genetically engineered children—really!—they hope can stop their AIs from killing us all.

I bring a sort of Forbidden Vibe to InternalServerError that Rate Limit Exceeded don't really like

#AiIsTheProblem

Using AI in education is bad for students. We have the proof.

AI uses illegally & immorally obtained data for training. We have the settle court cases.

There is no rational reason for students to be using AI in schools.

Gen Z Sabotaging AI at Work So It Won't Take Their Job A new survey found that Gen Z workers are particularly invested in sabotaging their company's AI deployments.

Today they just did spreadsheets so wrong you'd lose your company relying on them and that's a perfectly acceptable enterprise use case imo so it just made me smile

I don’t know how I’m going to “learn to navigate this new environment” of people not being able to start from a blank doc & copy/paste words from work already done in another doc into it

I’m beyond irate today and I don’t even know how to express it

But it’s about my work being tainted by affiliation with genAI bc the ppl I work with are incapable of doing their own work anymore bc they want to save .0001 second of time and create more work for others to fix

More higher ed discourse like this please

More states need to get on doing the same!! 👏

The Ultimate List of DRM-free Bookshops A regularly updated list of online shops that sell DRM-free ebooks, digital comics, magazines, and RPGs. Helping hundreds of readers a month discover over 400 DRM-free bookshops.

Thank you!

Yes, and here's the list:

Buying ebooks with DRM isn't actually buying books, it's renting them. If you buy a print book, it's yours forever. Books don't go "obsolete". Ebooks should be the same. Don't buy ebooks with DRM.

@libreture.com has a huge list of DRM-free e-booksellers. Weightless is among them

Amazing treasures of medieval legal history to distract one briefly from current news and marking - the Catslechta ˙ (or Cat-sections) - an old Irish legal text on cats (the Senchas Már) which even sets out various categories of cats based on various characteristics or talents.
