Stop trying to make simple things sound complex – either because you like hearing the sound of your own voice or because of whatever insecurities drive you. If I’m kicking a puppy in the street, it’s because I’m an asshole. You don’t need to know my motivations. You just need to know I’m an asshole. And stop me.

Sonja Drimmer’s post asks us to conduct our own informal survey of whether job listings actually require “AI skills,” whatever that might mean.
As it happens, a colleague shared this fascinating graph from a fairly bland report. It gets at roughly the same question. Note the position of “AI skills” in the list.
This is for 2026.

"I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character."

Will any of this actually happen? Let alone by the times written into this picture shared today? Whatever, the long press release #NASA tries to be heading now ...

After watching True Romance today I have Chantilly Lace stuck in my head, which is fine with me. I've listened to a lot of 'oldies' radio in my life (whatever that means) and it's such a weird banger of a song. Love it every damn time it comes on.

"In Tech-Unternehmen wetteifern Mitarbeiter darum, so viele KI-Tokens wie möglich zu verbrauchen – mit Kosten im sechsstelligen Bereich pro Monat."
"Bei Meta und OpenAI gibt es interne Ranglisten, die zeigen, wie viele Tokens jeder Mitarbeiter verbraucht. Jeder sieht, wo er im Vergleich zu den Kollegen steht. "
Das ist die moderne Form von "wer schreibt die meisten Zeilen Code", oder?
Und mit Sicherheit genauso sinnvoll ...

Spain's 'Andrea Jenkyns', Isabel Díaz Ayuso:
"Far from pleading for forgiveness, we are deeply proud of the arrival of Spain in Mexico and vice versa [???].
Going to the New World, taking to New Spain (sic), a civilized way of viewing life through the missions, universities and also important infrastructure" [but whatever you do, don't mention the genocide].
One of the most influential figures of the Spanish right.

Brian Eno - "Glint (East of Woodbridge)" (1986)
Unusual thrift store find from yesterday: this flexi disc from an issue of Artforum. Supposedly this was later released under the title "Lanzarole" on the 1992 album The Shutov Assembly.
