“Why don’t you want to have a conversation about AI?”

“I broke into your house and stole your shit and now I just want to talk.”

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car.

Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month.

No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

“I used AI to combine the data from two excel lists and then send emails to people who were on one list but not another. Saved me so much time.”

My brother in academia, you just fucking discovered mail merge. Welcome to early nineties computing.

And bluntly I’m not that big a fan of NPR in its current iteration getting this money

They have not shown any editorial bravery or commitment to national inclusive representation

But let’s me honest it’s probably what got em funded over CPB in the first place

personally I agree that we should indeed reject the hollow pluralism of pretending that we shouldn't judge Klan, Nazi, and sparkling eugenicist subcultures according to what they have historically produced, and would enthusiastically endorse rejecting inclusion of them in public life

Does she use AI because she’s stupid, or is she stupid because she’s been using AI?

The 21st century’s new conundrum

The trap is simple:

AI makes code generation cheap, but it does not make correctness cheap.

Once that asymmetry exists, every software engineer using LLMs to generate code is forced into a binary that guarantees madness.

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor.

The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

update: they've reproduced the results of the last study, again

What white people struggle to rationale is there is not a single brown person responsible for the material conditions of your life

I know you love rapists and won't support your daughter if she's assaulted. Fuck you.

Fuck you. Men like you had me fighting two battles in Iraq. From the bottom of my heart, fuck you.

Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

This is why NASA is a thing. SpaceX could never.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

ICE shoots alleged gang member near California's I-5 freeway Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers on Tuesday shot a man they described as an alleged gang member wanted for murder in Patterson, Calif., leading to the partial closure of the I-5 freeway in...

ICE shot another person. Based on their track record, there is no reason to blindly believe and echo their claim that their victim was related to gangs.

They have routinely lied so, sadly, we need to routinely question their version of accounts.

"be like water" doesn't just mean stay loose & stay together it means be so devastatingly dangerous that they have to invent a whole branch of engineering just to even try to mitigate the change you WILL bring about

If only people would've listened 10 years ago.

“Wade, who has six U.S. citizen children, was not deemed a priority for removal. But following a traffic stop in September, Wade was handed over by local police to ICE.”

What county or city’s police did this? Names need naming. I just want to talk to somebody.
