With the rest of the family asleep, as I look out the windows at night I can’t help but notice that the light has changed, signaling the end of this part of summer. Fall is still far away, but much less far than it was just a few days ago.

It’s been an emotional week for rock n roll. First we lost Ozzy. Rest in peace, prince of darkness.
Now, Spinal Tap is returning! 🤘🏻

and tagged it with AI I’m skeptical about OpenAI in general, because while I think AI is so powerful that aspects of it will legitimately change the world, I also think it has been overhyped more than just about anything I’ve seen in my three decades of writing about technology. Sam Altman strikes me as being a drinker of his own Kool-Aid, but it’s also his job to make everyone in the world think that AI is inevitable and amazing and that his company is the unassailable leader while it’s bleeding cash.
This paragraph from Jason Snell perfectly encapsulates my feeling about OpenAI, and so many other ”AI Companies”.

and tagged it with Nintendo Switch 2 Regarding the price of the Nintendo Switch 2. The original Switch has been out for over seven years. If 2 has the same lifespan, with a $500 price tag, that’s just shy of $6 per month.

and tagged it with Slice of life I’m taking it reaaaaaaaally slow this morning. Listening to music by the album, reading up on my local paper and articles and blogposts, drinking coffee. So far I’m managing to keep my calm and just enjoying a day off.

and tagged it with The open web There is a lot of love for the CEO of Bluesky, and her claims of it being billionaire-proof, floating by on part of the web at the moment. I’ve not used Bluesky and I haven’t kept up with things on the web properly over the past year or so, but I think Dave Winer makes a good argument that it really isn’t.
But [Mastodon’s] federation ability adds enough complexity that most people prefer Bluesky, which doesn’t have those complications. There are always tradeoffs in technology. You can have flexibility but it comes at a price. Bluesky would have you believe you can have the flexibility of Mastodon without paying the price.
This is, and continues to be, the problem with a federated or decentralized social web. It will be more complex and complicated than a centralized one. We do need to work on making it less so, but more importantly we probably need to convince the ”normies” that a little bit of extra complexity might be worth it.

Stop calling Vladimir Putin the president of Russia. He is not. He is a dictator, not a president.

and tagged it with AI [LLMs are] not search engines, and it doesn’t matter how much Google tries to force AI into its search, it’s not going to deliver what we need. LLMs are NOT answer machines. They’re guessing machines. And any guess has the potential to be wrong.
Spot on!
