nazis frothing at the mouth in bloodlust swinging their war boners around

liberals glad it happened but mildly disapproving of the lack of paperwork

socialists being told to shut up about it because it risks the midterms somehow.

yep just like every other resource war of imperialist aggression

The Strangers’ Case I don’t normally say this, but if you watch one thing on kottke.org today, this week, this month, make it this speech written by Shakespeare and performed by Sir Ian McKellen on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Must-watch: A powerful performance of a pro-immigrant Shakespeare speech by Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert's show; it resonates powerfully today. "This is the strangers' case; And this your mountainish inhumanity." [kottke.org]

IKEA acknowledges connectivity problems with budget Matter-over-Thread devices Swedish self-assembly furniture giant IKEA has made an additional name for itself through its growing range of budget-priced smart home devices. But if you were thinking of picking up some of its new Matter-over-Thread products, you may want to wait a little while. There have been a number of frustrated posts from people experiencing connectivity problems with Apple Home and other smart home ecosystems, and IKEA has acknowledged the issues … more…

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

The many people who will be unhappy about their AI-instructed PR not merged will also learn rapidly that open source is very much “remixable” with AI support:

Fork the code, make the change: it’s now yours!

Open source might just explode with remixes honestly…

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Lakers-Wolves Game 5 Observations An exhausting series, and Luka’s season ends

My first reflection on the Lakers' series loss, on a physically overmatched team, a team without ideas, and a mentally exhausting Luka Dončić season coming to an end.

No paywall. Thanks for likes, shares, and ALL your support this crazy season 🙏
