wrote a book about the B of E and the history of financial crises, so, obligatory:
"Faith in the AI boom has recently been rattled by research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which showed that 95% of organisations are getting zero return from their investments in generative AI."
so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 𧡠tipped me off that it was JΙsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

excited to share a new website at this late date of Aug 15 to try to help us collectively prepare for back to school in the interpretative humanities classroom assaulted by the AI grift, so we don't have to go it alone.

Contrary to Trumpβs grotesque, self-congratulatory press releases, he has not ended gender-affirming care for young people; rather, as the health care workers I spoke to this week made clear, hospital management, boards, and their legal advisers have ended it for him. My new story:

Between this, and the AFL-CIO moving to invest in data center projects in places like Wisconsin, we are removing one of the most effective AI countergovernance institutions.

do you have rec for a fairly short (30-45 min) podcast that is queer/left and/or intellectually stimulating? so many are like 2 hours of loose chat and I need more focus to distract me from the horrors of exercise.

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes
IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.
Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.
