"Jamie Hayes, who inherited a Ford dealership from his father"... told me everything I needed to know, right there.

important to balance equities when your baseball buddies might have to spend a few more hours in the office, not so important when a generation of federal employees might lose their livelihoods

These same boards are the same ones pushing “AI literacy” into every corner of our institutions, so the convergence-effect Ted describes in this thread—increasingly powerful boards filled w/ rich ppl whose anti-intellectual, airport-book obsessions drive research & teaching—is also the story of “AI”

Phew! Don't want people knowing I've had Super Mario 3 out for 36 years.

has someone bought isthestraightopen.com yet?

Oh! Apparently someone sniped Andrew to get it.

Well done?

AI Could Create A Massive Problem For Valve’s Steam Two trends that I’m very interested in are about to collide and it’s going to be a mess. By now, some of you will be tired of my calling for a more nuanced discussion about the use of A…

I like how the commenter couldn't bring themselves to say "made".

Again, ideas (sorry "visions") are easy.

"What if they don’t care about being considered an artist, and simply want to cause their vision of a game to exist, with the least amount of cost and work?"

Do teachers whoe bring their students outside for class think past "oh it's a nice day" to "maybe we should find a place that has some shade, too"?

Skin cancer risk starts young, my friends.

K-Pop band, BTS's RM spraying something inside what looks to be a bathroom with the caption "get this shit off my screen".

Is there a BlueSky filter that will automatically blur out all images of Epstein, Trump, and RFK Jr.?

NSFW that garbage, can we?

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

The "Is this a butterfly" meme with a screenshot of an email from TurboTax reading "Protect your return, Heather" and then the words "Is this extortion?" written at the bottom of the image.

I got an email from a popular tax filing service...

People that have been here a minute and think they invented the machine - lurk more.

Alt-Text has been around forever and if the ghouls are harvesting it for evil, get rid of the ghouls.

More accessibility is the future we want!

This should be illegal

I'm telling you, the solution to many problems in education is to hire school librarians (at a liveable wage, with administrative support, and adequate resources). Your students don't need an LLM, they need a librarian.

Being an assoc prof is hard because you finally have a killer research agenda and service obligations won't let you work on it. Also, higher ed is collapsing wholesale, stripped from within and without by greedy ideologues who see everything as a business deal and the humanities as worthless.

I would like to filter my Instagram feed (oh, boy I hate that word) into video and non-video.

This will never happen (just like the return to chronological) but a girl can dream.

“Oshi No Ko” doesn’t look like the kind of anime that will traumatize you.

But.

It’s all a massive, astoindingly large ponzi scheme to just fleece trillions from people. It’s fucking mind blowing on so many levels

The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.
