Are you YES AI or NO AI? Vote now. Big Tech doesn't care if you want AI or not. They should.

Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

I Went to a Magic the Gathering Convention With My Son. I Emerged a Different Dad. My son loves the collecting trading card game. I do not. Here's what happened when I took him to MagicCon.

At #MCChicago, I met a reporter who had come to the event with his son. We had a wonderful talk, and his article just came out. A great read, especially if you’re a parent: www.menshealth.com/trending-new... #WotCStaff
