A Hollywood writer recounts working as an "AI trainer" for companies like Mercor, as AI gig work becomes the "new waiting tables" for entertainment workers (Ruth Fowler/Wired)

I Work in Hollywood. Everyone Who Used to Make TV Is Now Secretly Training AI
For screenwriters like me—and job seekers all over—AI gig work is the new waiting tables. In eight months, I’ve done 20 of these soul-crushing contracts for five different platforms. It’s bad.

🤝 The GÉANT Community establishes the Humanitarian Support Group for NRENs
When URAN needed support, our community showed up and showed what's possible when NRENs come together.
This new group builds on that spirit, creating a permanent, coordinated capability to support NRENs facing long-lasting and large-scale crises.

Quote from Charlie van Genuchten, Chair of the GÉANT Community Committee, SURF: “We have a community that genuinely wants to support one another. With this initiative, we make it easier to mobilise that support for NRENs facing extreme circumstances.”

What I think Germany is doing right for public HDV charging:
- Early grid applications w/ forward-looking capacity
- Not one electricity price, but many. How do you give users access to these?
- Tenders for the best offer for the user, not recouping costs later with high prices

Deutschland ist allerdings nicht für günstige Strompreise bekannt. Wie soll das funktionieren? Pallasch: Natürlich sind wir nicht das Land mit dem günstigsten Strom, aber der Börsenstrompreis ist nicht rund um die Uhr hoch. Es gibt günstige Zeitfenster. Hier kommt die Sektorkopplung ins Spiel: Wie kann sich eine gut rechnende, flexible Branche wie die Logistik gegen das Energiesystem optimieren? Wenn ein Lkw acht Stunden steht, muss er nicht zwingend in der teuersten Stunde laden. Um diese Prei…
Was bedeutet das konkret für den Spediteur? Pallasch: Aktuell kommt ein günstiger Börsenstrompreis an der Ladesäule oft gar nicht beim Kunden an, weil der Betreiber dazwischen steht. Das Durchleitungsmodell bricht diese Barriere auf. Wir entkoppeln quasi die Infrastruktur von der Energiebeschaffung. Das ermöglicht Wettbewerb auf der Zugangsebene. Wir suchen in unseren Ausschreibungen diejenigen Betreiber, die das günstigste Angebot für die Nutzerinnen und Nutzer machen - und nicht jene, die dem…
Viele Logistiker fürchten dennoch, dass der Ausbau der Ladeinfrastruktur nicht mit den Fahrzeugverkäufen Schritt hält. Wie ist hier das Tempo? Pallasch: Es gibt eine zweispurige Strategie für maximales Tempo. Erstens hat der Bund sehr frühzeitig und proaktiv die Netzanschlüsse an den Bundesautobahnen bestellt - noch bevor klar ist, wer die Standorte später betreibt. Das spart enorm Zeit. Zweitens laufen die Ausschreibungen für die Betreiber, etwa für das Lkw-Schnellladenetz an unbewirtschaftete…

My Pixel 6 charging port is almost broken and inductive charging too slow.
I need stock Android for testing, but don’t want to give Google any more money.
Have folks got hands-on experiences with Fairphone and TalkBack and other accessibility features?

An award for the Divinity School's Living Village, in recognition of the starring role played by glass "not just as an aesthetic feature, but also as a key contributor to energy goals and comfort," in the words of the judges.
