Well, this news certainly was expected but its timing wasn’t. Following Jobs seemed impossible when Cook took over, but he had a great era by all counts. He certainly oversaw a more critical era than any Apple will possibly ever have.

Might be helping the Pope that even atheists are on his side in this one.
A warning from Substack on my account page telling me my publication has been removed from public view due to 'a violation of Substack's spam and phishing policy'.
In other news, as the likes of Andrew Tate appear high on Substack’s ranking, my defunct newsletter from years ago has been pulled from public view for violating Substack guidelines. I wouldn't have known if, a couple of days ago, I hadn't decided to delete my account.
Spot on. This just feels wrong.
This is wild.
In boycotting such platforms there’s always a question of where you draw the line. Do disagreements warrant boycott? Luckily there’s no need for nuance here: people like Andrew Tate aren’t sprawling in an ethical or moral grey area. They’re objectively wrong. So the platforms enabling them are too.
Thanks for the reminder to delete my old decaying Substack.

A single line in this piece just made my day:

I agree with your second paragraph but I’m not sure, besides anecdotally, how one might statistically quantify which aspect of video games is more talked about.
In my experience, even if academically better known, in the media there’s greater vilification of video games than not. Again, anecdotal.
I wasn’t arguing against that, and I agree.
It does seem odd to not engage with the topic of discussion and instead state the more obvious, more frequently discussed counter argument.
I think the point of the original poster, that you seem to have missed, was that one of those two things has received a disproportionate amount of focus while the other has barely been acknowledged.
Very interesting thread!
Sky seems to be a recurring feature.
Pretty persistently frustrating that enviro opposition to data centres get clumsily dismissed as "NIMBY" when, as you can see here, it's well-evidenced and packed to the brim with real-world examples of material harm.
And GP goes further than most in pointing out the end-goals of the system:

Well done both Cambridge teams!
We still hold the records for both teams too:
• 18min 22s for the women
• 16min 19s for the men
And also the overall wins:
• 88 wins for the men (against 81 for the other place)
• 49 for the women (against 30)

Well said.
Mark my words he’s going to start his own AI company.
Sounds like sunk cost fallacy to me.
A tone deaf response.
The perception that an AI I can talk to is inherently better than an algorithm is what should be addressed.
What makes it not create a silo, what ensures fairness in what it’s culling from its recommendations?
Why is a shortcut to community-building critical infrastructure?
Having media control has long been their modus operandi.
I’m usually glad when this list comes out and I don’t recognise any of the companies on it. But occasionally, like today, I do and it’s disappointing. On the bright side, at least they’re identifying themselves.
With pleasure.
