Was my time no-life'ing World of Warcraft a low point for me? Yes. Am I excited to return? Absolutely. Will I drag @doomquasar.bsky.social down with me, destroying both of our lives and careers? No doubt.
Iโve been obliterated by an Aaron-shaped tactical missile in the shape of a video game trailer youtu.be/Z-NTmezsVds?...

because it is relevant to my work, I have tried very hard to educate myself on how AI works, be fair and measured in how I evaluate it, and regularly test new tools to confirm or debunk my priors and tbh AI haters are just nailing it with less work like 99% of the time. keep at it folks

I truly don't understand peoples' emotional attachment to this platform. It's a total fallacy that people "need" to be on it or that it can be made whole, relevant, and interesting again. That era is dead.
Seems relevant to that flood of journalists who in the last few weeks announced publicly that it was okay to return to X, that the platform had gotten better, and the worst aspects of it had been minimized. This is what you have endorsed.
This is how I'm kicking off sprint planning next week.
Iowa man kicks off controversy over religious freedom in the small town of Ottumwa by opening a city council meeting with a prayer to Satan, which then kicked off a debate about the proper time in the meeting agenda to undo the โcurse @mjgault.bsky.social story: www.404media.co/it-is-done-h...
Itโs a shame this man routinely makes my life miserable on the court because heโs so refreshingly thoughtful off of it. Itโs been sad seeing LeBron and Giannis shilling this junk all summer.
In a stance that puts him at odds with other notable NBA stars, Victor Wembanyama says he would never lend his name to FanDuel, Polymarket or any other sports betting site. โHonestly, I think itโs very sad to see some players promote it,โ he said. www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...

NYCโs PIT Crew (Public Interest Technology) is already delivering: Click to Cancel is here, with the law saying it has to be as easy to cancel a service as it was to sign up for it. The site makes it easy to report any products that violate the rules: www.nyc.gov/main/click-t... Kickass!

Insanely shocking news like, 24 hours after he last performed. RIP to one half of the match I always use to introduce skeptical people to professional wrestling. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W63...

Another grand slam from your friends at @404media.co, good lord.
Scoop: Meta's Muse AI can make phone calls. Internally, Meta has told employees that many of these calls will be made by human beings in a call center: www.404media.co/meta-tests-m...
This absolutely sucked during my last apartment search. Itโs not only staging furniture anymore, people are doing extreme digital home makeovers on total dumps and itโs EVERYWHERE.
New Yorkers should know whether the apartment theyโre looking at is real. Thatโs why weโre working to require apartment listings to clearly disclose when images and videos have been generated by AI. Finding a home in New York is hard enough without artificially generating more problems.

I've been trying open source Google Maps alternatives for the last few weeks and it's a shame nothing else compares โ at least for me in the city. CoMaps is close, but it's always routing me to the wrong borough. Maybe it's worth the friction at this point though.
I wrote about Google and Apple's enthusiastic support of Trump's pointless and wildly-unpopular attempt to rename Lake Ontario.
