“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement.

YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Does this view make you feel a certain kind of way?

On Fox News, the anchor Will Cain choked up on-air as he read aloud President Trump's announcement of the death of Charlie Kirk. "I don't know where we go from here as a news program," Mr. Cain told viewers, "and I don't know where we go from here in America." Megyn Kelly, streaming live on YouTube, was tearful even before the news was confirmed, sobbing with her guest, Glenn Beck of The Blaze. She described Mr. Kirk as a friend who supported her even when her relations with the MAGA world were strained. "I am so sorry to be bringing you this news," Ms. Kelly told her audience. Later

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

"For academia, AI is part of a techno-utopian attack on the entire system. It’s not great new technology designed to help us avoid chores. As one of their sources writes, “When you outsource the thinking, you outsource the learning.”"

MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave.

They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.
