Literally the abstract too:
"Functional emotions may work quite differently from human emotions, and do not imply that LLMs have any subjective experience of emotions, but appear to be important for understanding the model’s behavior."
I refuse to read the AI summaries of articles. Give me the rambles and the side thoughts and the silly jokes and weird sentence structure. I want to feel the humanness wrapping me like a spring roll when I read lol
ICYMI as of April 24, 2026, Copilot can be trained on your GitHub interactions **unless you opt out**.

I'm looking to pick up some more closed captioning work before the month ends. If you're a YouTuber or other kind of online content producer who could use closed captions on their videos, please take a look at my online portfolio and fill out the request form to get started!
I can't edit my skeet but yes I know that it was EJAE they cut off, but her acceptance speech time felt significantly less than some others. Booo
EJAE didn't speak for half as long as some of these other winners and they cut her off, great work Oscars people
It's gotta be because in the old days we had to actually press the numbers to dial vs now where we call the contact name

I think that it's ridiculous that these apps don't make alt text both on by default and a blocker for posts with media (instead of a "hey uhhh pls maybe potentially do it")
Not drunk because chores 😭
I'm #TeamCanada all the way today but Hellebuyck is locked tf in, good shit
I would just like to call out that there's a Canadian social media platform built on AT protocol called @gandersocial.bsky.social and I just love that it's called that 😭🪿

Want to contribute to #k8s but don't know where to start? #SIGDocs is calling! Shannon shares how he became a GKE Tech Writer through open source, plus tips on finding "good first issues," lurking, and why docs are key to learning K8s.

Just wanna share the weather app that I use (and donate to). It's got a bunch of data sources to choose from, very nice customizable widgets, and the dev who maintains it has a super lovely outlook on life and on contributing to society. Give it a peek 😁

Screenshot of an email in my inbox. The sender is "Morgan from Tushy" The subject line is "Tips & Tricks for pooping in public...". On my phone screen that's all that shows for the subject, lol
Wild to see this in my inbox from the bidet company 😂

gotta have room specific cups that never leave (the eventual mould is just ✨ flavour ✨)
