not the worst thing going on in 'AI' but the pleading tone 'engineers' use to write backend prompts for LLMs is humiliating. "you're a tall, suave genius at summarizing articles and pinky-promised that you'd never make up answers or sources 🥺" get real dude

Somehow a professional sports front office is poaching from @defector.com's business team, so I need to hire a new Director of Revenue. Apply here: apply.workable.com/defector-med...

Mamdani: If the NYC apartment you keep solely for bi-yearly affairs with your mistress costs over 5 million dollars, you gotta pay more tax NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty

We’re on our way to a Patrick O’Brien book.

jesus FUCKING christ

a great blog defector.com/dianna-russi...

it's so funny and perfect that a company announces a pivot from selling a real, tangible thing to doing fake AI shit and its stock fuckin skyrockets

It will be extremely funny if Vance manages to get himself excommunicated before his book on becoming a Catholic releases.

Goddamnit we had a whole set of meetings and PowerPoint decks to tell Roth never to say we are “extruding” blogs.

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

(as a donkey walks by) ah the noble donkey! (donkey moves out of earshot) foolish beast

It's complicated for me because I want the Mets to win but I set up a bot that places a $15 prop bet on every Mets hitter grounding out to second base and have already made $625,000 this year.

Incredible sequel. Edge of my seat!

it's sad that prejudice blinds people to how bad driving isn't a matter of ethnicity, but of being from Maryland.

Kind of funny how Alex Jones said Trump had “early onset dementia.” The guy is 80 years old. That’s regular onset dementia dude. He’s old as shit

Spending 20yrs on the road working on my stand up act so I can finally be valued for my opinions on human neuropsych and elections in Romania.

🤌🤌

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

trump is kind of the bizzaro franz ferdinand in that if some serbian guys assassinated him it would set off more or less the opposite of world war one

i’m so pleased to have weed in my house on this apocalyptic spring evening

even if he doesn’t go through with it, the president threatened to wipe a civilization of 90 million people off the map. and no one was going to stop it. the best case scenario here is he doesn’t pull the trigger and our elected officials pretend it never happened.

it cant be said enough that all tech smart guys and billionaires thought this guy would be great and now the world economy is fucked we're like a week from gas rationing and their guy is threatening nukes.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I love learning often about basketball with the help of Google Gemini!

the guys walking around in shoes that don’t fit are not gonna do a 25th Amendment

i will vote for dems who say this stuff and act on this stuff! i will give them money! i will tell my friends to do the same! it is what i want from government more than anything else right now!

my takeaway from that video of young people in Iran walking around and being totally fucking normal while their government is a bunch of totalitarian lunatics makes me feel exactly how they'd feel if they saw a video of a guy doing that same thing in my neighborhood

today sure feels like one of the all time ‘so i still just gotta go and do my little job during all this?!’ moments

Please call your representatives right NOW they need to go to congress ASAP and urge RANDY RAINBOW to make an EMERGENCY PARODY SONG !!!!!!!

Speaker Mike Johnson said he hadn't seen that particular nuclear strike from the president, so he wouldn't feel comfortable commenting on it.

Congress is so funny. The world could be blown to smithereens and half of them would be like not sure this is a kitchen table issue.

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

Not specifying which civilization has big Monkey's Paw energy

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

days like today i get incandescent with rage all over again that he wasn't in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit and perp walked on jan 21st, 2021

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

let's be clear about what's happening: donald trump and benjamin netanyahu, whose countries have been committing genocide in gaza since 2023, unilaterally started a war with iran, and are now threatening genocide there.

Until we start charging $7.99 a month to look at it, we will never unlock the full potential of The Moon

The current moment in tech is loosely understood as software guys getting so evil they made hardware guys discover Marxism from first principles.

“the pharaoh’s tomb is cursed! the necromancer’s ring is cursed! the witch’s grimoire is cursed!” that’s how you sound. everything is fucking cursed with you bro. i don’t care. i’m taking this skull.

the Artemis II crew just posted a new photo. what the fuck

I’m sorry but even if you’re not religious I think you need to recognize that Donald Trump is literally Satan from the smash hit bestseller The Bible

I went to the police about my stalker. After I explained it started bc Im a journalist who covered an event he was at, they asked if we dated. They didn’t watch any of the videos I have, told me they’d find them on their own (they are ONLY on my personal cell phone), and left in less than 5 min.
