What a curiously dispassionate post on The Verge about their parent company signing a deal with OpenAI. It’s interesting that they posted about it in a way that lumps it together with the other deals and there’s no statement from The Verge’s famously opinionated leadership about what this deal means for publishing, journalism, and the open web.
Any tips for consoling a four year old who is suddenly very very upset about the idea of death and dying?
We're making it clear he's got a long long long time to be alive yet, as have we, while trying to be real and not tell any fairy stories - but he's very young of course and can't imagine ever being sort of "done" and really really doesn't want to ever die 😭
(Please nothing about climate change etc. in this situation - I'm well aware I've brought a child into a period of change that sucks.)
I've been reading "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" (thank you @dletorey for the tip), and I'm really (really) enjoying it - no spoilers please (about 75% through).
But it's giving me an extremely strong desire to MAKE. I really want to make a thing, but first - work, but also - where to start (too many (stupid) ideas).
Still, excellent book, definitely recommend (so long as it doesn't bork it in the last 1/4th)
Men that can dish it out but not take it can kiss my fat white ass, zero apologies. Fuck you and anyone like you. Lecture me about a sense of humor? I’m not the right sense of humor? Lol. Go fuck yourself.
