I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people
OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths

npm install -g obsidian-headless
Obsidian Sync now has a headless client, so you can sync vaults to a server without using the desktop app.
Try the open beta:
Block laid off 4k employees, attributing it to AI gains.
But we’ve seen this a lot the past few years in tech.
Execs layoffs many, say it’s AI, stocks go up, no one is left to actually maintain/improve the product.
AI isn’t doing what they say. It’s enshittifation and they hope you won’t notice.
I am deeply in my love of natural fibers era. Cashmere is magical this time of year ✨️

Lots of great quotable lines from @deque's Axe-con, including this gem from @stephaniewalter.bsky.social: "You can't sprinkle eggs on the cupcake after baking it. Fixing accessibility later is messy, slow, ineffective!"

Jared Kushner is at diplomatic meetings.
He's not elected. Not confirmed. Not accountable.
WHO voted for him? The Senate didn't confirm him.
So why is he in these meetings?

Farmer, 86, Rejects $15 Million Offer to Sell His Land to Data Center Developers: ‘Not Interested in Destroying My Farms’
Pennsylvania farmer Mervin Raudabaugh sold development rights to a land trust for $1.9 million instead.
I think it's suspicious that there's a sudden push to age verify everywhere, done using AI, and no one is investigating if this push comes from these AI companies themselves

The Warlock class provides just enough of a new twist on some familiar gameplay mechanics to make it worth the trip down memory lane.
