if you live in DC & notice you're in front of this guy at a coffee shop you must stretch the order crazy style. do NOT mention the article
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
suggests atomic, identifiable representations, grist for the "atomic habits" productivity discourse that I imagine techbros like Docter (yes, not artist but techbro) are fluent in
"gay elements"
What MAGA sees vs. what the rest of the world sees
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
AI early adopters w/ blogs: "Nobody needs nice product websites or content anymore because AIs only need a CLI. mac users will love all the time they'll now have to share their dotfiles" geniuses
"OpenAI is gonna find it hard to justify its valuation without a user base!" ok!
ah! well, nevertheless
Anyway, can't wait to hear the ol' "let's teach the ethical use of AI" types wriggle their way out of *this* one
Just in the hosptal yesterday morning and the admin checking me in had the same outdated tiny HP that forms the backbone of many institutional record keeping networks and they're all gonna have to go soon. Post-ERT's "on-premise infrastructure isn't going away soon" seems like cope
The most depressing AI pieces are always going to be the thoughtful, nuanced, open-minded considerations by respected writers who are transparently responding to the publicity incentive created by editors whose owners want this kind of content
It's all really going to be irrelevant, anyway, when my state school can't afford to buy replacements for the Dell pro micros they stick in their sorry excuses for computer labs. What's the point of debating Grammarly if none of the students can find a new laptop?
The one common cognitive tic of people who are anywhere on the more credulous side of "ok, maybe" in AI is they seem to think nobody has ever discussed this stuff before
Did a non-writing studies person just say "but nobody questions the role of 'word processors' surely" in reply
Did a non-writing studies person just say "LLMs made surveillance impossible" and "maybe 'we' should think about the relationship of technology and writing"

"Multimodal" is the word they're stealing from us this month.
I am heartbroken to see that the journal First Monday is shutting down. I'm all the more grateful I got to check one off the bucket list and publish there last year. But it will be missed.

"Containment" prob. my favorite ep of the Data Fix since "Consent," just one of those ones that sends you running to a library database to catch up. Would listen to Sofoulis reading the white pages
Proponents of AI all talk like ads for AI written by AI. Reading the foundhistory thread and:
"But this data is locked in handwritten docs. It was just too labor-intensive to be feasible. The ROI just wasn't there."
This is just LinkedIn-speak. It's contrived; it's an ad.
Absolutely the most IHE article that can be written, I can't think of a more IHE-brained article than this except maybe "how can ICE trainees use AI ethically?"
Remember that literally every single one of the billionaire freaks behind generative AI has very publicly aligned themselves with trump and his policies
Their CEO's are in and out of the oval office for photo ops, they're donating mountains of money to him, they're literally getting military titles

Came back to the open slopware repo 3 days later to see it gone and a bunch of HN bros crowing about closing it down, too much politics, bad tone, the open source community seems like good people
ok so TIL @bethanyhallam.bsky.social has a yelp account and was a one-woman hype team for Adzema, which rules
