It ends: "So, unfortunately, the only message that the public will receive from this “peaceful transfer of power” is: We surrender."

One thing that has genuinely shocked me over the past year is how many faculty are now using LLMs for nearly every part of their jobs. Not as tools to assist their thinking, but to offload the entire job itself. 1/7

my default on defamation suits is also that they will all fail because actual malice is an incredibly high bar to reach but hasan might have a shot with this one, it seems pretty bad it probably still fails, I'll let the lawyers chime in, but...

weird thing i have tried to describe before where LLM mistakes are simply inhuman. like they are entire types of mistakes that were unfathomable previously, literally could not have been made because the specific mix of competence and stupidity necessary was impossible

FYI Disney+ has a "podcast" of Iman Vellani recapping the various movies leading up to Doomsday. If you want to try feeling something about the MCU again.

What Kamala Harris proposes in not impeaching Trump is this the same reason why letting Jefferson Davis and the rest of the Confederate soldiers and leaders off the hook was a bad idea.. We've been paying for it ever since😡

"The votes aren't there" is cowardice masked as savviness. There has to be accountability for their crimes. The House has a duty to make the case here and if some GOP senators want to weasel out, make them own that vote. Don't let pundits and "strategists" talk you out of doing your damn job.

No. Your attitude has to be that absolutely nothing will get done. If you’re trying to “pass common-sense legislation to help the American people”in this environment you’re a fucking traitor.

This is happening to me, but with "tips" about a huge range of crypto-related issues (or perceived issues) people are personally struggling with. The volume is genuinely challenging to deal with.

It's amazing how editors will say "we can't see inside this public figure's mind," "we can't assume their intentions" — and then write stuff like this.

We murdered five more people in a boat today

AREYOUFUCKINGKIDDINGME?

there are a million things worse in the report, but a random billionaire hornball starting a beauty pageant for 14-to-19-year-olds is a red flag you can see from space, and I feel like society should have been better about saying "Hey hold on there just one minute buddy"

The assurances should be in the form of retribution for anyone that follows such an order. Anyone who does is a traitor to the country.

Tl;dr she’s not getting assurances

LOL. Claude was better at diagnosing a remote AWS issue than AWS's own LLM tool was.

And then he stiffed them!

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

One cool thing about being a regular Dem donor is how the party tries to demoralize me before every election. I am again drowning in spam texts clearly aimed at ripping off the elderly. Several Senate candidates have worked hard, overcoming my many "stop" replies and blocks, to make me hate them.

Roughly 1/4 of its workforce. $MSFT

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Guys, we can win, we can also lose. The future is unwritten. More than that, it is changeable by us. You can go out there and chase the future you want. The cure to anxiety is not “everything will work out okay” but “I can make it work out better.”

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Just fucking read the paper

Moscow has begun installing towers equipped with autonomous turrets to counter attacks by kamikaze drones. #Russia

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Your monthly reminder that if you're using ChatGPT to do your science, you're failing your colleagues, community, and all of us. Here, ChatGPT makes up data and presents it as the real thing — then apologizes when confronted.

Unfortunately millions of people are dying. The loss of USAID alone will result in 14 million deaths by 2030. Fascist movements cannot crumble fast enough.

sorry, but it's very hard to take your warnings of existential risk seriously when you are simultaneously throwing up to $120 billion at Elon Musk

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

The flip side of this is that our own candidates need to be saying interesting things to amplify. A lot of them don't.

That's why you have to legally and politically crush the insurrectionists and facsists when you have a chance, so that they literally can't come back next time.

One of my all-time favorite students said to me: I love your class, Professor Murray, you let every one talk and debate, but what I need you to do is: handle the assholes. You have always got to handle the assholes, not appease them.

this is so fucking bleak

Tons of ladybugs out today. I don't think I've seen this many in years.

There's nothing I can say that the quote tweets don't say better, but they're worth a read. (Like me, they endorse this comment)
