Of the hundreds of books I've written, these were the two that Anthropic decided to steal. Wild they were trained on Voltron Legendary Defender and Hotel Transylvania 2 media tie-ins. (S&S is great and so are the original copyright holders. I'll always be mad that my em dashes trained Anthropic as a simple work-for-hire author who got something like $500 to $1,000 when she was 25.) I hope the settlement milks them. My em dashes were worth more than gold--especially the amount of times I'd google "--" so I could copy/paste a nice em dash! (Now I leave the double hyphen so it's obvious I didn't use AI.)

The oven isn't collecting data
Why does Netflix have "are you still watching?" But my oven doesn't have "are you still cooking and don't want to burn your house down?"

Good. Believe women.
Annie's case against Sam Altman finally going viral on her dad's birthday while she's wearing his jacket in the deposition video as she gets interrogated by Sam's bloodthirsty billion dollar legal team is making me tear up actually. She will destroy him.

People ARE NOT jealous of billionaires. They’re ACTUALLY pissed that the dentist is a luxury.

One thing no one mentions about being an adult is how much time you debate over keeping a cardboard box because it's a really good box. #goodbox

מה שמדהים עוד שבזכות נינה הקטנה הגיעו לתא הטייסים בזמן. נינה בסה״כ הייתה צריכה לשירותים. בזמן שהייתה בשירותים סמוך לתא הטייסים היא שמעה את זעקות הטייס שנדקר, ועדכנה מיד את אמה. האם קראה לבעלה צביקה - אחד הגיבורים, שהסתער על המחבל יחד עם יניב, אסף ושוטה. יחד הם הצילו מאות ישראלים

The flydubai incident is a good litmus test to see if people who claim they aren’t Nazis or Nazi-esque can condemn an attempt to kill a plane full of Israelis without excusing it, minimizing it, “contextualizing” it, or deciding the victims had it coming.

Miracles used to look like the Red Sea splitting. Today they look like 180 lives being saved because people thinking clearly in a terrifying situation managed to take control.

A relevant reminder for the day:
When Al-Qaeda began hijacking Flight 11, the first plane to hit the towers, Daniel Lewin, an American-Israeli entrepreneur and IDF veteran (Sayeret Matkal), fought back. Unfortunately, one of the killers was sat right behind him and slashed his throat. The first murder that day.

Today I wrote about the musicality of Jewish survival: Why the returning Israeli passengers sang what they sang, why certain songs have become Israeli anthems of hope and resilience post-Oct. 7, and the deeper meaning of it all commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

Israeli passengers keep saying how much they appreciated Saudi Arabia's hospitality and comfort after the thwarted hijacking. A good sign for the future. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_e…
