Women can do all the things.
They've always been able to.
Society just created artificial constraints to force them into the confines society wanted them in.

No AI Strategy? Your Small Business Loan Could Be At Risk Banks are starting to factor artificial intelligence into small business loans, asking borrowers how AI could disrupt their industry over the life of a 10-year loan.

No AI? No SMB loan

"Bankers are increasingly demanding whether and how a small business loan applicant is thinking about and harnessing the disruptive impact of AI."

I also thought the question was working w your back to a window (or, in this case, two0. Did not notice a problem w the Mac.

💯 agree on the short-sightedness & trust erosion

Sadly, today, headlines are designed to grab attention, even at the expense of clarity

If the Traitors cast had included a bunch of middle-aged women who’d spent the last twenty years in corporate America, I promise you, they never would’ve trusted a dude like this

It’s OK to continue talking about the Epstein Files & the US men’s hockey team.

“War” might feel dramatic.

But these other two subjects affect 50% of the population—a sufficiently large interest group to merit our continued focus & attention

Go, enjoy it. It’s not like anyone can creep up on you. :) This is nature & beauty. Treat yourself to it

I’m not sure this is going to get him the votes he thinks it will…

I’m not sure this is legal. Pay & hiring/promotion processes in the military are pretty much legislated by Congress.

An expert from RAND or some similar think tank would know

(HR in the fed govt writ large & the military in particular works v differently than in the private sector)

The World’s First Viral AI Assistant Has Arrived, and Things Are Getting Weird We thought AI agents were meant to assist human work. What happens when they start talking to each other?

If AI chatbots that are talking to each other very quickly created a new religion...

... that says more abt us than the machines

AI is just a prediction machine. They simply apply what they learned from human writing/interaction. So that's what they learned....

Sorry, that was Bloomberg, not WSJ

The New Office Oddity: Co-Workers Dictating Everything Into AI Real advancements in voice-to-text AI let people ditch keyboards to dictate emails and code. But will talking to your computer at work ever feel normal?

WSJ just wrote abt office workers using more voice-to-text (vs typing on keyboards)

Is it just me, or would you be unable to work in an open-plan office where everyone's talking to their computers?

I have highly sensitive hearing — I literally couldn't function

A vibrant, composite portrait of the brilliant Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977–2017), the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal. She is shown in a close-up head-and-shoulders view, facing the camera with a gentle, thoughtful expression—short brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a calm smile. She wears a navy blue fleece over a teal/green collared shirt. Overlaid transparently behind and around her is a dense blackboard filled with intricate handwritten mathematical equations in white chalk, featuring complex expressions involving binomial coefficients (e.g., n! / (k!(n-k)!)), factorials, summations, powers, and terms suggestive of hypergeometric series or combinatorial identities. The equations partially surround and frame her face, symbolizing her deep immersion in advanced mathematics, particularly in hyperbolic geometry, Teichmüller theory, and dynamical systems, while evoking the creative, exploratory nature of her work as a Stanford professor and groundbreaking researcher.

Remembering Dr. Maryam Mirzakhani on #WorldCancerDay.

Dr. Mirzakhani was first woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in #mathematics. She died in 2017 from #breastcancer at the age of 40.

Texas A&M University to end women's studies due to new policy on race and gender topics Texas A&M University is ending its women’s and gender studies program and changing the syllabuses of hundreds of courses.

Texas A&M University to end women's studies due to new policy on race and gender topics 😡👩‍🔬

Oh, wow

So brilliant -- makes me realize that when someone raises that question, the first response should be: why are you unable to have an opposite sex friendship?

With respect, a bunch of outlets have already figured this out: Puck, Bolts, 404, TPM, 1440

No need to reinvent the wheel

Dude, enjoy your film
(It's not 1am where I'm at. Still working on deadline. Just coming to the socs to procrastinate)

As for links, s/t they're included to expand or elaborate on a convo. If promo was the goal, wld hv been included in first response.

But srlsy, just enjoy the movie. It's gorgeous

Why Frankenstein Needs a Female Director Male directors can't do Mary Shelley's tale justice

Fair enuf

I disagree w the idea that it's an adaptation w liberties, bc most adapt's (Austen, Shakespeare...) try to remain faithful to the orig message, wh/ no Frankenstein adapt in 200 yrs has done

I'm fine w GdT doing his own art, but this is just a pet peeve of mine :) — Wrote abt this in Oct

OK as long as you know he completely upended Mary Shelley's book. GdT's version is fan fiction, rewritten to tell a story _he wanted to tell, and not the story MS orig wrote (even w the usual caveats abt condensing novel into film). Shd not be called "Frankenstein," bc it's not Frankenstein

…They do their job appropriately overseas

But they allow domestic coverage decisions to be governed by concerns other than straight journalism

It would be interesting to know what line finally got crossed with them, that they decided to start leaning into more straightforward journalism

They used to do this a lot wrt overseas reporting. In fact, they’d go at it hard when a disreputable govt appeared to be lying.

When it comes to US news, they’ve been governed by another impetus: the desire not to be seen as taking a side. (I have this from insiders)

Which means…

If someone creates a "TLDR" app for Substacks

— which would just spit out the main point(s) of each newsletter —

I'll pay $5/month to run the 30+ Substacks I subscribe to through it

so I can get a daily summary that can be wolfed down in 5 mins or less

It'd be interesting to see happened if she sued the WH for "misappropriation of likeness." It's usually used when a company uses someone's face to market their product. But she cld use the theory here, saying they used her (altered) likeness for their mrktg (propaganda) purposes w/o her permission.

The reported the teacher for gender bias, right?

And requested an audit of his grading of boys & girls?

Teachers' entrenched beliefs tend to show up in their evaluations. When they don't believe certain cohorts can do something, they tend to overlook their actual performance.
