Has this always been an option????

What's ominous is all of the trusted women of color who know a lot about AI are saying that a crash is on the way and the white guys are pretending they are taking it to the moon. This means that a crash is definitely on its way.

I'm being forced to use discord. I am not a gamer. I am not used to this. Making me learn a new thing at 35 is elder abuse.

YOOOOOO

One morning Toad sat in bed. “I have many things to do,” he said. “I will write them all down on a list so that I can remember them.”

Hebrew text of Song of Songs...keeps things biblical so they can't complain, while honoring commitment to keep Ohio horny and confusing.

Every streaming platform and studio WANTS a KPop Demon Hunters. Would KILL for a KPop Demon Hunters. But 99% of them would have never funded the proposal in a million years. That's the big issue now, IMO.

Animorphs is better than The Chronicles of Narnia.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

The people in charge of beating you down will say art is frivolous, cut budgets for the arts, replace artists with AI, but art keeps people GOING. You never know when a piece will touch someone’s heart at just the right time.

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!” “I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Time travel is inherently socialist.

You actually don’t deserve to win an election if you are telling people they will have to give up some of their human rights to win and that they should be happy to do so.

The lab assignment for my online data engineering course glitched and gave me no points, then started throwing weird errors when I tried to resubmit. Eventually I walked away, and when I came back in the morning it worked fine. Thus giving the most realistic possible lesson in Data Engineering.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

Sometimes I really miss teaching due to my Bad Email Job and sometimes I think I got out st exactly the right time.

It is a bitter cold frost today. Dined alone with my wife today with great content, my house being quite clean from top to bottom.

in fairness to execs, if my job consisted entirely sending a reorg announcement email every 2-3 months, I'd probably find AI a lot more useful

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

Blaming the current backlash against fat people on Ozempic is kinda like blaming gen-z unemployment on AI. Like is it a factor? Maybe kinda?? But it just cannot be the whole thing.

Look at the Trumpers, particularly the Nazis amongst them. They correctly understand they are besieged by fancy-gendered commie traitors who think racism is bad and common decency is good. They are very well aware they’ve got this window to destroy as much as they can, and then they are finished.

kinda goes with what i always say about self reviews. YOU GET A VOICE TOO AND YOU CAN USE IT TO SAY YOU ARE AWESOME. GIVE YOURSELF FIVE STARS. you worked hard and you deserve it. just dont think artists should feel bad about thinking theyre amazing because they are. were all literally one of a kind

it is just interesting to me that we seem to want our artists to have this sort of ‘aw shucks, dont look at me but ACTUALLY you can look at me but ill pretend i dont want that.' OF COURSE THIS IS FINE TOO, there is no wrong way as far as im concerned, but it is funny we shun the opposite.

and 3) please be wary of anything that seems to invite the response "ah, of course [American government institution] is secretly run by Israel!"

“AI workers said they distrust the models they work on because of a consistent emphasis on rapid turnaround time at the expense of quality.”

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.
