Resisting the global rise of Fascism. I mainly work in corporate social investment but I make some spare change from poetry, libretto and art. GenAI is a scourge. πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦

Use LLMs at work by all means, but know this: if there are errors, LLMs won't be blamed. You will.

My sister is reporting very loud bangs in Doha, Qatar. Everybody has been told to stay at home. Iran has hit US bases in Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Iraq, and perhaps Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Now that the regime is fighting for survival rather than for rhetorical purposes, the gloves may be off.

This Kenyan man thought he was traveling to Russia to join a basketball team. Instead, he was forced to join the Russian military and fight Russia’s war in Ukraine.

I am horrified by how little effort contractors put into work these days. I have perhaps two reliable contractors - the rest are entitled, the work is of poor quality, and I spend time fixing things I should not have to fix. πŸ˜–

Today is the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. I am going to a Ukrainian Embassy screening of the documentary Kherson: Human Safari tonight. I lived in Kherson for six months, so it is deeply personal for me.

Most Americans can’t afford life anymore β€” and they just don’t matter to the economy like they once did Years of elevated prices have strained all but the wealthiest consumers, and low- and middle-income Americans say something needs to change.

This is what the landscape looks like currently: www.marketwatch.com/story/most-a...
