    Reminder: There's currently (well, on pause while it moves publications) an official Lucky Star sequel manga, and it's called subtitled "Konata's Thirties," as that's the amount of time that's passed. The manga-ka knows that it's EMOTIONAL DAMAGE:

    They're doing the thing they've done in Canada for like a year already: letting you pick a bottle of water instead of a soda. It's still only a buck fifty.

    Saved you a click.

    Costco Founder Jim Sinegal isn't gonna kill Costco CEO Craig Jelinek, yet.

    Corollary to @faineg.bsky.social's discourse on "good tech needs no begging to adopt": when the humble web browser has become so encumbered by AI features that an article about using the command line to run GitHub scripts to shut them off is viral news amongst normies, it's a full repudiation of AI.

    Yep, it's rough watching everyone from late night hosts to lightweight tech YouTubers explain the still dangerous effects & likely intents of this erratic policy both more honestly & accessibly than news outlets. Since Colbert explains how 125% tariffs on China are a systematic risk, CNN should too.

    There's a lot of big news today/this week, but Apple just dropped a nuke of a paper about LLMs & LRMs, specially around "high-complexity tasks where both models experience complete collapse." This is the biggest sign yet that if AI ever lives up the hype, it won't be via those approaches:

    Sad that Costco *has to do this*, but cool that Costco is the kind of company that cares about the majority of it's membership such that *they're openly doing this*, despite it probably making some scalper dweebs incredibly pissy. This is $1.50 hot dog & soda (+ refill) thinking applied writ large.

    Literally "selling surplus humvees, armored carriers and tanks to podunk town SWAT teams," but giant robots. GQuuuuuuX continues the franchises' history of trenchant social commentary.

    The best thing in the near term that's gonna come out of these pilots isn't piles of money for WB/CN, as they're too dense to seize the bag, but everyone should start following the other work the pilots' creators are doing; follow their socials, webcomics, etc. Show them love if the biz won't!!

    I'm realizing this article is extra gross as it's really trying hard to conflate Machine Learning (better photos from cellphones, phone navigation, search results, etc.) with full Generative AI (overeager autocomplete, the plagiarism gacha, etc.) Like, it's insidious in its framing on many levels.

    The fact this was up with in 3 hours of @techcrunch.com airing them out means they either rushed this out after being cooked publicly, or they specifically ignored their requests for comment while having this counter-response on deck, hoping it'd force a second article that'd push the first one out.
