SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Fantastic summary of “the AI problem” by @doctorow.pluralistic.net: it’s not the technology, it’s the bubble. The bubble is predicated on and fueled by the companies selling your boss on your expendibility.

I would both say this is true and false: I agree that companies *expect* software development to be a thing of the past; however, the reality will be that software development will become cleaning up the messes and supporting the AI generated code. It will also become a significantly different job.
I don’t believe companies expect software development to durably exist as a profession in a decade or two. So this question is like asking who will be the senior milkmen and telephone switchboard operators?
And the developers become @doctorow.pluralistic.net's reverse centaurs, trying to debug code written faster than they can possibly keep up with. The issue with agentic code development is that removes the governor that was naturally applied to bad developers.

The reality is that there is no non-violent way to non-consensually end a healthy human being's life. The effort spent to fool death penalty advocates into thinking they are participating in something clean and surgical makes an already barbaric spectacle disgustingly hypocritical as well.

It costs significantly more per unit to slop up a song than Spotify pays most artists for a year of streams & the artist has already eaten the production costs. Besides, outside of lofi chill, people don't listen to music this way. Maybe Muzak will be affected but I doubt the $ works there, either.

There just isn't a legitimate solution to this which doesn't result in thousands of people currently working in the Federal government going to prison for many years
This will make it nearly impossible to file habeas petitions, because attorneys won’t even know what federal district their client has been moved to to stage for their removal. Something like a third of all people in ICE custody. apnews.com/article/ice-...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

1) They don't have to host if the burden is too much, it's just priority. They can take the compensation and go on the road instead. 2) If you cannot host an MLS team and sell that game, you are dysfunctional. Two months is plenty of time. This problem also existed prior to this format.
By the way, this is my concern about the new U.S. Open cup format
