The film "Sorry, Baby" was one of my favorite films of 2025 and this short from #PopCultureDetective is very on point. The film is a master class in balancing of tone to let serious topics be serious but also let in some levity and keep the film feeling lighter despite the heavy themes. It's even more impressive because it is this writer/director's first movie.

I think the thing OpenAI (and Anthropic) don't understand about these ads that makes them great is not the advertising satire. It's the AI-generated tone of everything the person says. None of it is what people want.

Am I weird for thinking it's creepy to let Google use my emails as training data for their LLM?

I have this same problem. Listing the emails I've used is basically an impossible task and really doesn't work.

My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website.

The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.
