Some interesting stuff for June. If it wasn’t for having to cover US politics occasionally, I’d be pretty happy about it. “Somebody did something stupid” isn’t my idea of journalism.
Op-Ed: Record labels suing AI for copyright infringement — A big deal but all about biz, not music. This is major stuff at the most fundamental levels of how AI works.
Op-Ed: UK election meets Fawlty Towers — ‘Don’t mention Brexit’ Absurdity in progress. The Brexit disaster can never be made to work, and nobody has the guts to simply get rid of it.
Op-Ed: Rising prices vs tax cuts — Who benefits most, the gougers or the gouged? Well, who’s winning? You’re not.
Op-Ed: Cognitive flexibility — A new jingle for neuroscience, or what? Yet again, neuroscience has turned a basic process into a game of hide and seek with the obvious.
Op-Ed: Just Stop Oil – Not stopping oil, annoying Greens, and making anti-oil look bad Obscene and ridiculous.
Op-Ed: Reading the tea leaves on US employment – Non-sequiturs galore Whoever it was that decided hard data needed to be a crossword puzzle needs to go.
Op-Ed: Health warnings on social media? See any other problems? Social media reflects society. Is that so hard to understand?
Op-Ed: Karma and the Big Heat — Incoming US heatwave is super-dangerous It’s only early summer up north. This could get very nasty.
Op-Ed: Tesla shareholders give Musk his $45b payday — But? There’s a much less obvious issue with this payday, and it’s nothing to do with Musk.
Op-Ed: Romance, young love, aspirations, and no money – Any questions? One day, anyone under 40, you’ll have a Dorito of your own to live in.
Op-Ed: Right-wing parties in the European Parliament — Gift for Russia and poison for EU Those 2000 years oi wars weren’t enough of a hint?
Op-Ed: US schools lose hundreds of social media ‘addiction’ lawsuits The schools missed the bus on this one.
Op-Ed: This is why nothing’s getting done about the cost of living – Future economic suicide at work. Wince along with the Mills and Zoomers.
Op-Ed: Deepfakes, dumb fakes, and just plain wrong fakes — AI screws up big time Who are the idiots that think this tech is infallible?
Op-Ed: America, when does this farce end? What about the country? Just check out how many actual major issues are under discussion. It’s none.
