A declassified World War II-era government guide to “simple sabotage” is currently one of the most popular open source books on the internet. The book, called “Simple Sabotage Field Manual,” was declassified in 2008 by the CIA and “describes ways to train normal people to be purposefully annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on. In other words, teaching people to do their jobs badly.”  Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

"Microsoft has cut its sales targets for its agentic AI software after struggling to find buyers interested in using it. In some cases, targets have been slashed by up to 50%, suggesting Microsoft overestimated the potential of its new AI tools. Indeed, compared with ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, Copilot is falling behind, raising concerns about Microsoft's substantial AI investment.

Microsoft was an early investor in many of the latest AI companies. It ended up with a serious stake in OpenAI and benefited from early access to its models, creating Bing Chat and Copilot when Google, Meta, and Anthropic were just getting started. But now its momentum has stalled, and like everyone else, it's not making much money from its AI products. That's because no one is buying them, and that is because very few people actually find them useful, The Information reports."

Episode 1: I think I've read this yaoi manga.

Episode 2: I might have preferred this as manga because then I could just skim for the porn scenes

Episode 3: Hey wait, I think I've read this Stucky fanfiction

Episode 4: Shane Hollander is so fucking weird. Why am I compelled by this man's lack of personality. It's been 4 episodes and all I know about him is he likes hockey, real estate, and bottoming and those first two were his parent's ideas. Gay sex may be the only original thought he's ever had. If I met a guy this emotionally constipated, I would also want to inspect his ass. How does this actor make his expression so lifeless yet so alluring. He can only smile when he's teasing another man. His cardboard cutout persona absolutely smacks of Egg. And now they're playing the most bumping t.A.T.u remix while he's experiencing an A24 psychological horror at the club.
