Got to the destination 5 min after my original ticket’s arrival.

Depends where you’re flying, but the best flight experience I’ve ever had was missing a flight on the day before Thanksgiving. Skipped the line, was ushered through security, trotted to the gate where they were holding open the airplane door…which they closed as I stepped onto the plane.

I feel brutally subskeeted

just spraying a firehose of tokens and getting back recipes for glue pizza

Teams of highly-qualified, experienced software developers who won’t stop spending all day on this useless tech.

Sounds like a pretty brutal weekend‘s work.

“…given an arbitrarily long timeline?” Or…?

The Golden Era of Twitter was actually when all the bots, grifters and shitposters flocked to get blue-checks, and thus were subject to mass auto-blocking. Something like that would be nice.

Great that they only believe in religion when it's convenient and only in science when it's the misreading of Darwin
Nothing on this planet is "more evolved" than anything else. It is a system. "sick" and "healthy" are unique adaptations and the only way the species got this far was through altruism

I’m legitimately interested to see which quislings show up for this thing.

Imma wait till Vermeule weighs in before coming to conclusions.

“How dare you duck when I throw things at you!”

It is both true that Republican voters are undeserving of the franchise because they continue to voluntarily favor Trump types absent foreign influence and that the median voter is underserving of the franchise because they were taken in by a dogshit RW International slop campaign—twice

Unironically you need to hire weird catgirls from bluesky. Take your HR team and fire them and just directly hire the weirdos from bluesky who do AI stuff.

“That‘s just, like, token prediction, maaan…”

What is the German word for when all three of these women cabinet secretaries absolutely deserved to get fired and yet pretty much all the men cabinet secretaries and FBI director drunks do too. And yet .... 🤔

‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there

We constantly get articles that are like “This farm that produces decorative sunflowers is pumping so much groundwater that a nearby town is sinking into the earth. How is this legal? Well, when Spanish Crown created the rancho system for the Catholic Church…”

The Disruption of the Artisanal Slop-Generating Class

People keep proposing a “skeptic vs booster” dichotomy, when there’s a clear third category “realist on the capabilities; skeptical on the impact on workers”

The War on Poverty in the Pages of LIFE: Appalachia Portraits, 1964 Fifty years after LBJ declared a War on Poverty in America, LIFE presents a series of photos by John Dominis from eastern Kentucky in 1964.

What’d the Democrats ever do for poor rural whites? time.com/3878609/war-...

Pretty sure that's wrong, bud!

Curious, which “traditional” products are you talking about? Things like Fortify?

From talking to folks smarter than (but with similar resources to) me, the open local models are actually only somewhat behind the frontier models from Anthropic/OpenAI. Things are moving and developing so fast it’s impossible to say what things will look like in 2, 6, 12 months…

Funny thing is, if you immediately follow with “Are you saying that because you know it, or are you confidently BSing?” the frontier models will usually cop to it.

“No, YOU’RE token prediction!”

We all have days like this

Always with the “eppur si muove“ lol

And some of the people who can’t code—but can think in systems and manage a project—will probably have better go of it!
