Sam Altmanis upset someone left a recording device in his conference room. I guess he forgot to explicitly opt out of data collection for marketing and training purposes

This is not a foregone conclusion unless we allow our own apathetic cynicism to make it so — but it is certainly a real danger against which we need to fight hard.

Has to be fake, but still on point

Refrigerators don’t need WiFi.

Here the IMF is finally saying the things about an AI bubble that people in my Fedi TL were saying 2 years ago. I could mock them for being late to the Market Analysis party they’re supposed to be hosting — and I do, I do mock them — but also I’m happy to see that this conversation has broken through to IMF circles.

Just image: video games that exhibit the same stunning performance and code quality we’ve seen in the Claude Code leak

The racism, the appropriation of the DOJ for political actions, and the attempt to undermine democracy are all grotesquely, appallingly unacceptable.

It is important to keep saying that out loud, over and over, even when it’s long past being surprising.

It’s down a ways in the article, but The Guardian spells it out plainly:

❝As the most prominent Somali-American in the United States, Omar has faced years of racist attacks from the president and his supporters.❞

There it is.

I wonder how much of these attacks on Yandex data centres are timing. Surely it’s no surprise to Ukrainian intelligence what originates from there and how it might impact the final weeks before the midterm elections?

@ireneista

This is the nature of places, I think.

IIRC, my dad was stationed at MacDill in the 60s.

Imagine the surprise of business school graduates who were told they’d get an MBA if they completed the program

FWIW, reading the part of that post that’s not behind the subscribewall, I see zero indication — stated or implied — that he thinks anyone making these decisions is rational.
