I ended up at a house party in Waterford at about 2am once after the closing performance of a play. The house belonged to someone in the theatre group. They were handing out mugs of tea and bacon and sausages. It was the best party I’ve ever been to. The Irish are unbeatable.

Glen Baxter has died. His drawings of cowboy art critics and wimples were an absurdist joy. RIP

BREAKING: Israel has confirmed its soldiers will not be joining the US in the ground invasion of Iran, due to the concern that they would have to fight grown men, rather than unarmed women and children

Novelist confronts AI researcher over intellectual property | Janne Teller, Timothy Nguyen YouTube video by The Institute of Art and Ideas

"Democratizing access": the ultimate doublespeak for #tech billionaires pillaging art, literature, human brilliance—feeding their AI for free, owning the returns.
Danish writer Janne Teller's reply? Fine. If our knowledge belongs to everyone, then #AI platforms should belong to us. Nationalize them.

Yeah I just had to search for it too

They did report on it but not sure it made the front page, largely because of the scourge of tiramisu hot cross buns. Nonetheless if the link is shared enough it *might* start to show up in their "most read" section, you never know!

Photo of a person holding a sign that says, See you in Nuremberg, fuckers.

My favorite sign from the No Kings in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood today was refreshingly blunt.

Mine packed up the other day as well. Maybe the machines are taking their revenge.

Houthi forces enter Iran conflict with missile attacks on Israeli military sites Escalation represents dangerous spread of war and brings threat of even more damage to the global economy

It’s almost as if a can of worms has been opened by people who had no plan or indeed any idea of what they were doing.

Had to do an iHasco “AI in the workplace” online course, consisting of reading a dozen slides. All extremely biased towards AI. Not a single mention that AIs can be modelled on stolen/poor data, nor on the environmental impact of its use. Plus you’re told to monitor all outputs. Why bother then?

America has been needing a new kind of cheese since forever

Saw it in a cinema in Paris in the 90s. It was a full house 😄

Randomly lost my Wordle streak. I am uninvested now.
