KPMG issued a report citing all the transformational ways GenAI has transformed industry, it’s been widely cited.

One minor problem: it turns they used AI to write the report, and it made up all of the evidence.

KPMG have now withdrawn the report in full.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person to ever walk the planet. And while his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully.

I went on TikTok for the first time in a couple years. Oof. There's an entire industry based on selling people the dream of becoming a content creator. It's actually so sad. People doing follow for follow, paying to boost their posts, buying seminars that "teach" you how to game the algo.

Ironically, no one is talking about the idea of just making quality videos that people want to watch. Instead they're making content about making content, and complaining that it's not working.

Thank you for allowing me to kind of vent here. I need to get it out.

Yesterday I experienced the worst cluster headache of my life. It was my fifth or sixth of the day and it really got me. I was vomiting and sweating. I had blurred vision. That's the one that really broke me.

Update: good news is I've only had 3 cluster headaches since midnight and all were relatively short and not as painful as yesterday's cycle.

Not so good news is I'm still very tired as I haven't got much sleep. Been relearning cluster headaches and learned they're tied to REM sleep somehow and disruptions in sleep patterns make it worse. So I can see how this could snowball.

If anyone has tips or insight I'm all ears!

Having now learned a mere smattering of what passes for mainstream "home automation" in This Modern World, I think the only sensible thing for me to do is to commission someone to build me a wifi Terminator hand that has a supple enough thumb to press buttons on a remote control.

I note that Elon Musk's wealth now exceeds the annual GDP of Switzerland.

I think this makes him a state-level actor, and a *hostile* one.

I submit that we have tools for dealing with rogue states, and they should be applied to him until/unless he starts to behave. NB: said tools vary from polite talkings-to by diplomats all the way up to cruise missile strikes and invasions.

Yeah!

And I will be there, too, to give a workshop about #Mastodon for folks who might be curious about it!

Along with folks like @cwebber and @dthompson I will be talking at a branch of the Toronto Library tomorrow. My presentation will be about #Mastodon: what it is and how you might use it.
If you've got a friend who's interested in Mastodon but doesn't know where to start, and they live in Toronto, and they like free talks at libraries.... send them our way tomorrow!

This migration effort has deepened our Swift expertise and given us a foundation to build on. After completing the migration, we distilled what we learned into instructions for LLM coding assistants, and have since used them successfully in other projects. LLMs have improved the efficiency of our team’s work converting C/C++ to Swift, and have proven valuable in performing the kind of code transformations used in this effort.

I loved this movie so much. I've must've watched it 100 times.

Few movies better depict the opulence and excess of American capitalism in the 90s than Boiler Room. Pre-9/11, pre-housing crisis, we were on top of the world and nothing would ever change about that lol

Video editing concepts are completely lost on the average person. The idea that you can add audio, or splice unrelated videos together, to create an event that didn't happen, isn't something people consider when consuming video content.

Explaining these concepts to someone doesn't guarantee they'll understand either.

What's fascinating is you could probably just say "it's AI" and they'd better understand.
