In a world moving toward, uh, bananas...some baseball teams are still sticking with a century-old bread-and-butter recipe.

“If you go to a Friday night football game, you sit in the ‘yes’ data center section or you sit in the ‘no’ data center section,” Doherty said. “It’s come down to that.”

This is an incredible project: NBC News asked parents to check their kids' YouTube history during school hours — and the results show kids are spending huge chunks of the day watching videos that have nothing to do with learning

Pre financial crisis was an insane time to be in NYC in your 20s. But a slightly older person would tell you the late 90s was actually more insane. And behind that guy is an even older person who’ll tell you the 90s were nothing compared to the mid-80s

Miami’s brain drain problem has been documented for years. I’m one of the tech workers *from* Miami that left.
The answer is simple: companies move to Miami to pay workers less than they’re worth in a city with a cost of living similar to the cities they’re leaving.

As a Miamian this really made me laugh. Bro was straight up saying the thing.

On September 8, Jacob Coxon, a 27-year-old Anthropic employee, posted a resignation statement on X that ricocheted around the internet. He quit in protest of what he saw as the company’s suicidally reckless pursuit of artificial general intelligence. To the AI community, an eving that the technology their company is developing might end the world is not exactly news. (Anthropic was founded by former OpenAI employees who believed OpenAI, if left unchecked, would do just that.) But an Anthropic employee publicly quitting in protest is.
Afterward, a debate broke out: If you’re a lab employee who believes in these risks, what should you do? Is it best to leave in protest? Or is it better to agitate from the inside, close to the seat of power? And how would the choice affect your friendships and community?
“For me, there’s quite a distinction between my rational beliefs and the things I feel in my gut,” says Coxon. “If you’d asked me to narrate my opinions when entering Anthropic and when leaving Anthropic, they would probably sound pretty similar. But in terms of the actual feeling between the start and the end, it just felt very, very different.”
Coxon joins a small set of employees of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind who, over the years, chose to walk away.
For our Cover Story, in collaboration with Asterisk Magazine, we brought together eight of them. They don’t share the same concerns or the same p(dooms) — in fact, they wouldn’t necessarily agree that p(doom) is a coherent concept. But together, they provide a candid view of the AI race and the individual calculus many employees face.
