TIL there is a dearth of books written by men on masculine themes.

"If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership?"

This is very much in the Platnerian mode that presumes all men are only attracted to content by, for, and possibly about Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.

What he did understand, par excellence, was his brief as chief scientist

Alan Finkel is such a fucking idiot. The man is intellectually outclassed by a not-very-bright newt. He fundamentally does not understand at least 60% of the issues he talks about. "I was Chief Scientist. Why are you giving me column inches to discuss a topic I have no understanding of?"

A very dumb op-ed headline from Alan Finkel: "I was Chief Scientist. High Court's scope 3 ruling is nonsense."

an ai system doesn't have a will, intention or feelings. nor the capacity to want or care. a neural network does not go rogue, escape, or rebel. just tech bros' narratives projected onto machines. and pls, don't mansplain my post to me

over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Can we take just a few seconds to acknowledge the birth of a new classic meme

Vertical split screen of William Shatner appearing as a guest on Brent Spiner's podcast: referring to the 2025 romantic film Pillion, Shatner asks Spigner "The world of homosexuality I'm not familiar with. Are you?" Spiner, with an expression that seems at once weary and astonished, replies "to a degree."

Seriously. These companies have no commitment to advancing human knowledge. They are only interested in mathematics and mathematicians insofar as these things help grow demand for their massively indebted businesses by creating the perception that their products are cutting edge thought machines.
