MAGA = Make Atlantis Great Again

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

No, I will not be taking any questions at this time.

The real joyful elegance of the fact that uncurated ML training data will all be pinned in 2020 to keep models from feeding on their own output is going to be how quaint and dated their output is going to become, and how quickly? It's not going to be many years before AIs are going to be giving you job advice like, just put on a tie, go walk around handing out printouts of your CV and stop eating so much avocado toast, we're already seeing the early signs.

One of the interesting things about the road greetings in Ireland is that cyclists are excluded. In all my years cycling, I have twice (count 'em, two) had the flashy-flashy "thanks" from a driver when I've pulled aside to let the car past. Oh, wait, a couple more from bus drivers https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/2023/05/30/greetings-on-the-road/

Hello little friend.

Signing in to Twitter right now is like seeing a dive bar after one hell of a night. Desolate, mildly sticky, with solo cups and broken glass and one dude who still thinks he’s important yelling in the corner. https://teamtrash.substack.com/p/are-we-too-broken-for-twitter

If we sorted all San Francisco households by income, split them into five equal groups and calculated the average income for each group, we could look at inequality and income distribution patterns.

Conveniently, the US Census Bureau’s ACS estimates this almost every year. They call it the mean household income of quintiles.

Between 2019 and 2021, the average income of the poorest 20% of households in San Francisco dropped from $18,082 to $15,507. That’s a decrease of nearly $2,600 or -14%.

Meanwhile, the wealthiest 20% saw their income increase 10%, from $457,966 to $502,622. That’s $44,656 more, or almost what THREE of the poorest household make. The top 5% saw their income increase by 15%.

The poor got poorer and the richer for richer. #TrickleUp

When I was young, I was poor.

Now, after decades of hard work and sacrifice, I am no longer young.

Maybe I’ve seen too many horror movies, but I found this shack in the woods of rural Massachusetts today. Would you go inside?

The other big age-related Apollo fact is that no one born after 1935 has walked on the moon.

The South Australien Government has made an ad about its new anti-protest legislation and it’s surprisingly honest and informative!
