Successfully married a human today. Everything proceeds according to plan.

Parasaurolophus with the big dope bassoon on his head!

Second last day to buy Worldcon Montreal 2027 membership before prices go up!

Birds are back! Last few days I saw Bald Eagle, Mute Swan, Barrow’s Goldeneye, Pied-billed Grebe, Hooded Merganser (and many others of course)

For the first time ever, I had to use the internal AI tool so I could properly critique and mock the AI tool. We could have paid an entire person’s career salary instead of making this broken garbage.

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

My latest:

When you do a udm=web search, the next search window is back to AI fuckery. Certain words (ocean) in your search push it to AI even in the udm=web search. I’ll click as many times as I must to skip past the AI fuckery

Moderate success, but also had to reschedule an important event and take a call from medical people.

Work edits for worky work job. Lfg

I took 12 pages of notes, but with AI dogshit I could generate 120 pages of notes on the same meeting! 1000% productivity gains! Line go up! Economy unleashed!

I’ve trained them to say “Tyler, cover your ears”

Hating the Game The cooperation game, the murder game, and acting in good faith with people you know are acting in bad faith.

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

I think I love Starfleet Academy

The new hummingbird babies add at least 20 points to scores, they give a lot more to try optimize on top of missions, goals, nectar. New powers are very fun!!

New wingspan expansion with hummingbirds!

Wingspan time!

Takeaway:
Any time the Trump administration says "AI" or anything about software or data, what you should hear is "repression as a service"

This has 2 parts:
1. AI as an excuse to consolidate data
2. AI to execute orders that humans would refuse

Ask them why they’re asking “papers, please”

I want to do a thread on "Small Press Red Flags" brought to you by years in the trenches combined with some issues I’m seeing pop up again in writer circles.

Note: an isolated incident might not be a red flag, but cumulative flags are always worth examination.

First off: Let’s talk about money.

Ringing in the new year by closing all 59 open tabs

Me, in dentist chair: “… wait a minute, you’re not Santa Claus!”

What the Goodier to you too!

I stopped at 150, thanks to driving every road in Quebec! I don’t know which mega-suburbs are those last two large cities either.

Epic Jay!
