ArsTechnica: Chicago Sun-Times prints summer reading list full of fake books

"The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a 'summer reads' feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?"

When it's #DOGEvsNOAA, we all lose.

"Working for the National Weather Service is a stressful and high-stakes job. It was before DOGE came along.

Trump and DOGE are making things worse, and quickly. This is just a small preview of what is to come on the current course.

Question the motives of those telling you they can do it better than the experts without offering how and why. Support the real experts."

I'm retired in the sense that I was tired yesterday and am tired again today.

BTW the recognition of personal property and the protection of the owner's rights with respect to the treatment of that property is foundational to the very concept of capitalism.

So if there’s no more copyright, welcome to a free for all on their once protected software code, and everyone else’s.

The Copyright Office is correct: it’s not fair use; it’s theft at scale. Musk, Altman, et al want you to believe the hype so they obscure the theft and profit, distracting you with shiny toys.

"I haven’t been in my lab or worked with my microscope since February, when I was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as I was returning to Boston from a vacation in France. At Logan International Airport, I did not complete a customs declaration for frog embryos (for use in our lab’s research) in my luggage. I’m told this would normally result in a warning or a fine. Instead, my visa was revoked and I was sent to a detention center in Louisiana, where I have spent the past three months with roughly 100 other women. We share one room with dormitory-style beds."

"If all these big companies are shouting from the rooftops that AI is up to production code the money relies on, then zero open source contributions of substance is a glaring absence."

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

Being an ICE agent is a choice. Your aren't born that way. It's unnatural. It's an affront to God.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

This is so funny. Everyone on the planet can see Trump’s blatant corruption. But when Trump is getting a USD 400 million plane from Qatar, even MAGA celebrity Laura Loomer can see there is a problem.

But here is the fun bit: She reacts, not because it is corrupt, but — and this is real — because Trump is accepting the bribe from Muslims. Had the bribe only been from Israel, or Russia or the American oligarchy, everything would have been MAGA approved.

They breathe culture war.
