Oh no! $4-6 extra a week?! What is the world coming to?

For me, the change is that when I’m watching a video, the only way to exit is to close the app completely.

Language is not data. Books are not data. LLMs may create data from them, but the things themselves are not data. They are human exploration of the world and existence.
By calling it data, we are a priori accepting their epistemology and rejecting our and others’ humanity.

Ominous

Even though I’ve been following the news since yesterday,
when I opened my phone today, I was shocked to see the news — an entire family of 18 souls, my relatives, martyred.
Is this the “ceasefire” they promised us?
And I can’t help but wonder, with fear that never leaves me
