So my old friends at the National Cable Telecommunications Association (NCTA) are doing a blogger outreach event today. Oddly, I was not invited. No doubt my invitation was blocked or degraded.
I never get this crap from Verizon.
Stay tuned . . . .

But while the uproar has swayed much of the public to Johansson's defense at a time when #genAI is increasingly under scrutiny, this may not quite be an open-and-shut case should she decide to sue . Read the breakdown from @M_F_Rose in her latest article:
The release of @OpenAI's new digital assistant "Sky" stirred controversy after actress Scarlett Johansson alleged that the company had infringed on her rights by using a soundalike voice of hers after she'd declined to voice it herself.
Just saw @MargotSusca fantastic interview with @adamconover about the death of local news at the hands of hedge funds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N21YfWy0-bA A theme I have written about *a lot*. Like this blog post from 2018: https://wetmachine.com/tales-of-the-sausage-factory/we-need-to-fix-the-news-media-not-just-social-media-part-i/ This has been a long time in the making.
I wrote yesterday on the terrifying escalation of antisemitism in Canada, citing events just over past week. Now there is more: last night a firebomb attempt at a Vancouver synagogue. Daily antisemitic incidents is who we are now.

<nag> Maybe they’re waiting to see what you tell us all about what you saw at the “Big Tent” blogger affair in Denver! </nag>
I would say that you – SHOULD – be included, as you do seem to have more of a finger on the pulse of this area than many others!

Harold –
I sent this via your webmaster e-mail as well.
We apologize to you and your readers for the oversight. Leaving you off was completely unintentional. I have copied below the list of invited attendees – just so you do not think this is intended to be a one-sided affair.
We plan to do this again soon, and be sure we’ll get you on the list. I’m actually not sure where you’re located geographically. If you’re in the DC area and not doing anything this afternoon, please feel free to come by. We expect the conversation will last until about 4pm.
Sorry again. We hope to see you next time (or later today if you can make it).
