Great stuff happening in UK politics
another annoying thing about AI discourse on here is how many anti-AI people still basically treat AI as synonymous with chatbot. like, regardless of which side you’re on, if you’re engaged enough to start discourse about it then you should be engaged enough to know that Ukraine and Russia are currently writing the next chapter of military tactics with AI-directed drones.
I think that's not an unreasonable use of the term, or even an indicator of disengagement, since "AI" is such a common media shorthand for "chatgpt and midjourney and things like that". And is that even wrong? "Artificial intelligence" is not very precise. I think when someone says hey, we've invented "AI drones" or "AI cars" or "AI B2B SAAS ERP", that doesn't mean they're drawing a technical distinction between AI and non-AI-computer-stuff. If it's after like 2022, what they mean is "our thing is as revolutionary and profitable as those other things". Before 2022 they might have decided on "autonomous drones" or "machine-learning-driven drones", right?
But there are people who see like self driving cars and say "that = AI = chatgpt = bad" which might be what you're talking about

Anime fans in the English-speaking world talk a lot of shit about improbably powerful student councils for folks whose own media conventions include "what if a specific minor sports league operated as the de facto local government" as a recurring trope.
I love how the responses to this post are split about evenly between "I have literally never heard of that trope in my life" and "well, see, the difference is that the second one is actually realistic", and I bet I can guess which group is mostly American.
Prokopetz I'm American and would say that we have bizarre relationship with high school football. Student athletes in real life have a weird sort of clout. Is that what you mean? I'm still confused because your post describes a media trope whereby a "specific minor sports league" acts as the de facto local government, but I haven't seen anyone in the notes come up with an example. I don't think that even happens in King of the Hill
a phrase that kinda bothers me when talking about women's historical roles in europe is "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear it so often, those exact words in the same order even. and once you learn a little more you realize that the massive gaping hole in that list is fiberwork. im not an expert and have no hard numbers, but i wouldnt be surprised if fiberwork took up nearly as much time as the other three tasks combined, so it's not a trivial omission.
it's not a hot take to say that the mass amnesia about fiberwork is linked to the belittlement of women's work in geneal, but i do think there's a special kind of illusion that is cast by "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear that and think "well i cook and clean and take care of children (or i know someone who does) and i have a sense of how much work that is" and you know of course that cooking and cleaning were more laborious before modern technology, but still, you have a ballpark estimate you think, when in fact you are drastically underestimating the work load.
i also think that this just micharacterizes the role of women's work in livelihoods? cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children are all sisyphean tasks that have to be repeated the next day. these are important, but not the whole picture. when we include all kinds of fiberwork—and other things, such as making candles or soap—women's work looks much more like manufacturing, a sphere we now associate more with men's work. i feel like women's connection to making and craftsmanship is often elided.
And part of 'cooking' was brewing, pickling, preserving, fermenting..
Also memory-holed is how incredibly time-consuming laundry was and how much of it relied on physical strength.
Using a drop spindle to spin fiber into thread (which was the only way to spin thread until the spinning wheel made it to Europe in the 13th Century), and a warp-weighted loom to weave cloth, it takes a long time to turn fiber into finished items. (And even before you start spinning, you have to prepare the fibers, which is additional labor.) For an experienced adult, probably somewhere around 108 hours per square yard of fabric.
A simple dress or robe that covers an adult from shoulders to mid-calf will usually take about two yards of fabric.
Bret Devereaux lays this out if you're interested in looking deeper at the numbers: https://acoup.blog/2025/09/26/collections-life-work-death-and-the-peasant-part-ivd-spinning-plates/
also - however much effort you thought it took to “cook and clean” back then, it took way more than you thought. “Cleaning” clothes meant mending them by hand before taking them to the river, scrubbing them (with soap you made by hand), and hauling a heavy basket of wet clothes back to your home to wring and beat them dry. “Cooking” meant carrying your grain to the mill, carrying the flour back, sifting it, kneading dough by hand, and baking it, and that was just the bread. Then it’s back to the river (or well or cistern or whatever your water source was) to haul more heavy buckets of water before plucking birds, gutting fish, and harvesting vegetables from the garden, and only now can you actually start doing what we think of as “cooking.” With an open fire that you have to tend while cooking. All of this work had to be done every single day On top of childcare and the massive workload of spinning textiles. And any seasonal work like pickling or preserving fruits and vegetables. And any communal village tasks like rope making or construction. You know those memes that say “a peasant had x many holidays?” A “holiday” just meant that your family didn’t have to do free labor for your lord on top of everything I just mentioned. Medieval women were EXTREMELY busy with tasks that were often physically demanding and juggling multiple tasks at once all day every day.
Being a peasant sucked. It was really really really bad. Everyone say “thank you industrial revolution”

Since this has come up a number of times, I think it's time I finally made an explainer for the Monty Hall problem that I can link to in the future. Especially because there's been a bunch of answers that are almost correct, but if you try to apply the same reasoning to other problems, like the frog problem, they'll give you the wrong answer. See, normally if you go pick one of two doors, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But the Monty Hall Problem is a statistical freak and its not normal. So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat it. Then you add the goat to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Let's Make a Deal, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because the goat KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Let's Make a Deal. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Let's Make a Deal. See, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Let's Make a Deal.
Whenever I try to read All Tomorrows I get instantly turned off by the bad prose. We always say "you can't just do worldbuilding and OCs forever you have to actually make the story" but I think some people should be allowed to just create personal wikis. We should not have made this guy write a book, the omniscient narration is so naive and clunky, it's like a first draft

"This week I discovered the same pattern, executed by Google. Google Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking."
Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise t
pretty sure I did the chrome//flags thing a while ago, but also i switched to firefox, which is not without the occasional bullshit, but is vastly less bullshitty than chrome. This is why I treat genai "features" like the invasive blackberry bushes they are: cut, root, burn, and vigilantly watch for new shoots to uproot. I'm 54 years old and the world got by fine without genai for most of my lifetime.

These tags make no sense to me
What does it mean to say "chrome is reaching across all chromium browsers"? Google can't do that, it's just Chrome
That probably came from misreading the bit about how the Claude desktop app secretly does some configuration thing with "seven Chromium-based browsers" like MS Edge and Brave
I see where they got "it has nothing to do with the actual ai interface" because apparently the 4GB file isn't even used for Chrome's "AI mode". Instead, that mode sends your queries to Google's servers
They were already doing that though. The article says nothing about using your PC "as part of a cloud server" which sounds like botnetting, a very skeevy thing that Google doesn't do because they are a multibillionaire megacorp that fucks you over in more disturbing ways
The article is mainly a technical analysis of how Chrome secretly downloads this giant file with no user input. It compares this to the Claude situation and argues that Google is breaching your trust, wasting resources, harming the environment, and probably violating EU law
Nothing about "bitcoin malware" or "recording your own actions". It's not like a trojan or a virus. This is bad for other reasons that are summed up in the article's title
