THE INTERNET OF DANGEROUSLY CONNECTED THINGS:
I’m sorry, but hackers remotely turning off refrigeration systems at hundreds of supermarkets and destroying all their fresh and frozen food is INSANE. We’ve connected so much of our physical world to the internet that apparently even keeping milk cold is now a cybersecurity… https://t.co/4g9SYvTlsb

HE DIDN’T MEAN HIS MONEY: El-Sayed Wants “Money Out of Politics.” A New Ad Shows Who’s Funding Him.
FROM C. CHANCY: The Words of the Night (Colors of Another Sky Book 1.)
It’s 1618. Do you know where your historian is?
Retirement wasn’t supposed to have dragons….
Historian Jason Finn crossed the planet to escape the Black Dog of depression – and almost got there. Over the mountains of Korea, a monster out of nightmares tore his plane from the sky… and into another world.
Hunting down ravenous shapeshifting pirates, Night Magistrate Lee Cheong found survivors from elsewhere. Survivors who say pirates are not the only threat. Over twenty years ago Hanyang burned in dragon flames… and that monster still lives.
Now the young magistrate must lead demon-hunters on a desperate chase, aided by a bandit sharpshooter, a seafolk medic, a Heavenly cultivator on the run for her life… and a time-lost historian.
Jason’s willing to help, but he’s cursed, fighting to survive, and struggling to understand a land of magic and monsters. All the while doing his best to keep a teenage girl alive.
Upside? Jason’s definitely not depressed….

“GREEN” POLICIES, AS WE NOW HAVE THEM ARE LARGELY JUST ANTI-CIVILIZATION: The Iran war didn’t make your heating bill this high. Blue-state energy policy did. The US has just 130 operable refineries, down from 301 in 1982.
NO, THAT’S ABSURD: Does African Writing Sound Like AI? Spoiler: Only after LLMs arrive on the scene.
On the other hand, at what point does “read a lot of AI” devolve to write like an AI. Over time, I found myself doing things like confusing They’re and their when writing, while knowing the difference perfectly well, just because I read it wrong so often. And don’t get me started at using third person plural for third person singular, because I object to that with all my mind, and yet I read it so much that it’s started to invade.
Not yet. Probably. But how soon before we all sound a little like AIs?
