It’s hard to decide what part of this story on Marissa Mayer’s new startup is most loathsome, but this “women need a wife or, in other words, a digital servant” construction makes me want to flip over an actual table www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/s...

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

I'd much rather Americans take that 42 hours to study up on why they cannot let Republicans win in the upcoming midterms. I mean, it's not like the future of your country is at stake.

The studio released an official catch-up list ahead of December’s release. We've got links to watch every one of the movies if you want to get up to speed.

Bye Discord.

Sixty years ago today, the starship Enterprise launched and with it, a vision of the future where humanity had moved beyond its divisions. I was there at the beginning, and I can tell you...

I see lots of people ditching Google Maps for Apple Maps. Remember, though, Apple Maps changed Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. And I'm willing to bet they'll cave again and change Lake Ontario to Lake of America.

I really wish #Apple would release #TheSavant already. Dunno what they’re waiting for. Surely the actors would like people to experience their work. 🤷‍♂️

Stop fucking using genAI. Not even for a joke, not even for that oh so cutting political satire. Every time you use it, you are actively taking food out of our mouths. You are using the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it.

"LibreOffice 26.8 contains no generative AI features. Documents are not transmitted to remote services for processing, and no component of the suite requires network access to function. This is a deliberate position."

Anyone telling an author not to mention their books here can go fuck themselves Also anyone telling anyone else how to run their own social media accounts can go fuck themselves too If the way someone does their thing here bothers you, unfollow/mute/block them, but you don't get a vote otherwise

Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social

A Bluesky user has written to me to ask me to stop mentioning my books on here. I wonder... Should I continue trying my best to make a living in a tough world via the writing I've spent decades putting my heart & soul into? Or should I obey them? Nah. I'm going to continue mentioning my books.

Headlines: Such-and-such technology may someday be as smart as human brains! Reminder: *We already have human brains.* Billions of them. Most of them living in poverty and being exploited for the obscene benefit of a tiny number of the worst people in the world.

age 16: Computers are amazing! I'm going to do amazing things with computers! age 46: explaining to the fourth person this week why Chat GPT is not a replacement for a functional search engine or the library or friends

Whenever I go outside and see people with sunglasses, I wonder if they have a camera and are recording everything. What a sad world we now live in. ☹️
