"over 1,000 medieval scribes have joined the Association for Human Manuscripts, pledging to never use the printing press or work with Gutenberg
654 have gone even further, promising to never read a printed book"

Btw, the greed of Airbnbs haven’t just ruined the hospitality business by making everyone do their house chores for them while they pocket the cleaning fees.
They’ve also made home rentals unaffordable in cities throughout the world. I was just in Athens, and the local tour guide explained that the younger demographic can no longer afford to live in the same neighborhoods where their families have lived for generations. A gentlemen from Venice said the same thing happened there too, it’s happened everywhere.
The big Airbnb [pseudo] industry deserves its pending implosion. Good riddance 👋🏻

Heads up, @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI. Rumor reaches my ears that you're doing a stupid thing, and should stop before you damage yourselves.
I hear you've now nerfed your models so that when people try to use them to clean the spamware and spyware out of their televisions, you block that.
If you really want Chinese open-weight models and open-source projects like OpenWaldo to eat your lunch, crippling your models so that people paying expensive subscriptions can't use them for completely legitimate purposes is a great way to accomplish this.
If, on the other hand, you'd rather have a volume business, maybe stupid arbitrary restrictions that look like they have the sole purpose of protecting corporate sleazeballs aren't such a good idea.
A word to the wise should be sufficient.

Unpopular opinion:
The biggest advantage of AI isn't that it makes developers faster.
It's that it lets people who were never allowed into the room start building.
That's a much bigger shift than most people realize.

They misunderstood the assignment
They think they are real estate investors in the real estate business

Your name is Jean-Marc, you’re 46, and you run a video game and collectibles shop in Nice, wedged between an optician and a real estate agency selling 1-bed flats for €410,000 “with sea view” if you lean far enough off the balcony.
You know every GTA San Andreas cheat by heart. You tested all of them in 2005 on the PS2 in your bedroom at your mum’s place.
You opened in 2011 with a state-backed loan at 4.7%, and the naive belief that passion eventually pays.
It did pay, sort of. €1,900 a month in a good year, after the French tax office has eaten first, second and third. Your commercial rent is indexed on a formula nobody in the Republic actually understands.
You sell Funko Pops at €17.99, sealed Pokémon cards, refurbished controllers. You let little Enzo, 12, pay in installments because he’s saving for a Switch 2. You close at 7:30pm and walk home because the harbor parking is €3.40 an hour.
Saturday, there’s a protest “against the cost of living.”
You also think living costs too much. You almost went.
At 5:12pm, your metal shutter gets ripped open with a crowbar.
Forty teenagers in tracksuits and crossbody bags walk into your shop like it’s a bonus level. They take the PS5s, the Dragon Ball figures, the till with today’s €280 and even the box of paper bags that say “thank you for your visit.”
A guy in a floral shirt films it vertically for TikTok.
You step outside and say “stop, this is my shop.”
You get hit from behind.
Then rocks.
They laugh. Floral shirt guy is thrilled: good angle, good lighting.
Sunday morning, the police tell you there are “1,400 arrests nationwide” and they won’t send a squad for some Funko Pops. Filing the complaint takes 2 hours 40. The officer types with two fingers on Windows 7.
Monday noon, your insurer reminds you that your €1,140-a-year policy has a €3,000 deductible and a “riots and civil commotion” exclusion on page 31, font size 6.
Saturday night, an MP explains on TV that “the anger is legitimate” and we “shouldn’t cry over shop windows.” He’s never owned a shop window. He has a state-funded apartment.
Sunday, your limited edition Vegeta figures show up on Vinted. “Brand new, never opened, €39, pickup in North Nice.”
The seller has 4.9 stars.
Monday, the tax office emails you. They haven’t heard about the riots. They’ve heard about your payment deadline.
You did everything right, Jean-Marc. That was never the problem.
The problem is you were playing by the rules in a lobby where nobody else does.
So stop believing in the State. It’s not coming to save you. It’s coming to collect.
Stop voting. Every five years they hand you the controller, and it’s never plugged in.
Go to the gym. Not for revenge. For you. Because when the system folds, the only asset nobody can loot is the one you built under a barbell.
And make money they can’t see. Cash, side hustles, sats on a cold wallet in a sock drawer. Not your keys, not your coins. Not your shop, not your loss.
Fuck the system, Jean-Marc.
It already did it to you first.

Governor Healey: "I've never been against gas."
Massachusetts Ratepayers: "Are you sure about that?"
Maura Healey's long track record of opposing natural gas and driving up the costs of your utility bills isn't some made up thing.
We’re living in the energy world Healey laid out for us over a decade ago. Your run away utility bills and skyrocketing energy prices are the direct result of the policies she's been pursuing for over ten years.
No amount of back peddling in the closing weeks of a re-election campaign will change this.

Hi X.
I’m back online, it’s chilly outside and I’m craving a decaf nitro.
Drinking alone is never fun, let’s get two cumulus machines into your hands!
Wheel spins at 10:30 tonight.
Are you cold all year round? (Extra bonus entry if you live where there is snow)
Repost and comment.
Good luck!

What a joke Boston 25 news
Posting that Governor Healey demands from the utilities to lower their cost
Maybe mention she’s the one that implemented and expanded the costs
On another note, Massachusetts voters demanded an audit
Any word on how that’s coming along?

Dear @SecScottBessent ,
This is your opportunity to be the first leader in this administration to squelch the millions of citizens (like me) who read Mr. Stern's letter and immediately think: Nothing Will Happen. Prove us wrong. Make an example of BofA. Send a clear message (not just a fine) that this country won't tolerate back door funding of our enemies.

This should be the biggest scandal in Massachusetts right now. Eversource executives & employees have donated nearly $50,000 to Gov. Healey's reelection campaign while consumer electricity costs are skyrocketing. This is corruption & cronyism at the expense of consumers! #mapoli

If an AI discovers a treatment that saves millions of lives, I don’t give a shit whether it understood what it was doing, had consciousness or passed someone’s philosophical purity test.
The patients are alive.
That’s what matters.
Some people have completely lost sight of why we do science in the first place.
