Titans coach Robert Saleh on QB Cam Ward: ‘He has the right work ethic. I just don’t see him failing’ https://www.nfl.com/news/titans-robert-saleh-on-cam-ward-i-just-don-t-see-him-failing

For those following at home, the iMac Pro saga continues—I've pulled the trigger on a replacement SSD kit [basically from another iMac Pro that was gutted for parts] for it and will replace it myself.
(It's the most likely culprit and I if it doesn't work I can return the kit.)

If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.
"I haven't written for a few weeks now. As I write the closing chapter and begin rewriting previous sections, everything feels both more distant and more immediate. The working title [Kairos] has only continued to feel more and more resonant, both during the writing and during my pause."
Now is the time to resist by making something different, by creating a world fundamentally opposed to these systems of oppression.
This is the last in my Kairos series. From here on out I'll be editing to try and make it more of a book than a series of posts. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. All editing is welcome (typos, spell checks, questions and challenges). Between ADHD and dyslexia, it's always hard for my brain to notice mistakes in my own text so I always appreciate the support of those who can.

It seems to me that those who value results are more likely to delve into using AI than those who value process.
I work with fine arts education—filmmaking—and for me, process is *everything*. And so AI becomes marginal, at best. But I can see lots of use cases—also in filmmaking—where AI can help achieve a result more efficiently.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has so far been unable to access data from a Washington Post reporter’s iPhone
because it was protected by Apple’s "Lockdown Mode"
when agents seized the device from the reporter’s home, the US government said in a court filing.
FBI agents were however able to access the reporter’s work laptop by telling her to place her index finger on the MacBook Pro’s fingerprint reader.
This occurred during the January 14 search at the…

FBI stymied by Apple's Lockdown Mode after seizing journalist's iPhone
Post reporter was compelled to unlock MacBook Pro with fingerprint, however.

Since the US now seems to be a nation that loves to create unlawful wars and religious crusades the following tune is appropriate:
