  @nemo@mas.to Good move, makes sense, anything is better than Teams or Zoom. This looks to be limited to public agents (gov't) for now, so the general public won't be using it. Still, a step in the right direction

  My wife is in an AI training thing and it is pure dogshit. But, she gets paid for it.

  Yikes. This is the Vantage #AI data centre in Sterling, Virginia. Took this video from Reddit, but you can also look it up on YT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV4hhj574v0). It has a "backup" natural gas powered generator that must run all the time to keep up with demand which makes that noise.

  One of my tasks as a professor is checking in on interns. This means sending an email to their manager. Previously, I'd receive a message like: "Everything is good!" and that would be it. Perfect. No need to follow up. Now? 1200-word bullet-point, emoji-filled slop.

  Watched "The Dinosaurs" (2026) docuseries with my son. He is 9 and it cracked him up because poor Morgan Freeman said "BUT" so many times. The entire script is: "(A) is dangerous <pause> but not as dangerous as (B)" or clichés like "but megachompasaurus is not alone" or "but their reign will soon come to an end" every time there was a pause my son would yell out "BUUUUUT!&quot...

  I made it to my early 40s without ever reading or hearing the word "egregore" and in the past month I've seen it at least 5 times in articles or threads.

  I get emails with news from where I grew up. I have some filters so stories that don't mention my hometown to go the bin. Every Sunday, I might get one or two stories and some are false positives. Today I had about 10 emails and I recognized the name of someone I went to school with in the title. She was arrested for financial crimes and human trafficking (wtf!). That was a twist I wasn't expecting, the last person I knew that got arrested was for siphoning gas!

  I'm not sure if the Bubbles thing is cool or not. I like discovering new blogs, but I'd rather choose which posts of mine are shared rather than have every post listed and ranked.

  This sounds familiar: "Predictably, the response from higher education administrators―who are busy signing contracts for institutional LLM subscriptions to show how future-first their thought leadership is―has been to tell instructors that their job is to teach students “how to use AI effectively.” Most examples of this “effective use” involve students generating an essay with AI and then critiquing it." https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/04/to-teach-in-the-time-of-chatgpt...

  "Recognizing a bad idea beneath good writing — even in myself — is part of my job. But what would it mean to grow up with that kind of companion? What would it mean to have your every adolescent intuition turned into persuasive prose? What is lost in not having to do the work to build out our intuitions ourselves?"

  From the blog archives, this nearly 2-year-old post about #LinkedIn Collaborative Articles. Apparently it needed updating because they stopped accepting articles in June 2025.
