I don't know what word to use for this except evil

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

As I've always been saying, LLMs have no relation to Truth at all. They can answer questions, generate ideas on a theme, and many other amazing things, but they don't know the difference between true and false, opinion and hyperbole. These results support that. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

The Charter of Rights is foundational to 🇨🇦's democracy & national vision of fairness & due process. Decades of cases have confirmed its value to labour rights. Danielle Smith takes a big step toward authoritarianism, tossing it aside for fiscal & political convenience. #canlab

El pueblo unido jamás será vencido

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

The people, united, can never be defeated.

Wow. This is the bottom. If you don't understand what is monstrous about this. Please read some real history. Step back and consider if you are in fact going along with the villains of this story. It's cut and dry. There's no complexity here at all. This isn't a mistake, it's the plan.

I haven't watched any of the godfather movies, and it's always shocked disdain from people. I try very hard to hold back my same reaction to people who haven't watched the whole Back to the Future trilogy.

Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.

Diversity is Strength.

Agree "question the rush to AI and the current framings of AI literacy as an inevitable policy trajectory and preferred future for education. ... the pre-emptive decision by the OECD to proceed with its PISA assessment in 2029 signals a race to a finish line." theconversation.com/why-we-shoul...

"There is no B.C. coast. It's Canada's coast. There are no B.C. ports. There are Canada's ports...I feel an equal owner in those ports as a Canadian." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... I find this hilarious, does that mean there is no Alberta Oil Sands, only Canada's Oil Sands? Yah, I didn't think so.

Maybe universities try this on that grant extortion offer that just went out?

They zip tied children.

Diversity is Strength.

Peace genuinely is a very great good, so I am less hostile to the idea than I think some on here would be. But in this case I think it is a misread of the movement he is opposing. They will not be deflated or inclined to moderate by compromise, they will be emboldened and further radicalised.

People need to realize that we are in a new paradigm now where billionaire owned mass media is spreading some of the most dangerous and genocidal voices from the fascist right as if they are rational every day, political voices

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Be honest, is anyone not watching Kimmel tonight?

Remember kids, when you call out a bully and they blame you for making them hurt you or someone else, it isn't your fault. They are the one's choosing to harm people. www.cnn.com/2025/09/21/m...

Yes, isn't this obvious? Many researchers have been saying this for ages. Hallucination is an inherent part of the system, even the "right" answers are hallucinations in a sense. This doesn't mean they can't be useful, but people need to know that. I'm glad Open AI is finally saying it openly.

Does sunk-cost falacy qualify? The ability of humans to not move in from a bad choice is incredible ..ly destructive.

Nice to have some calm discussion about AI capabilities from someone people will listen to. Even admitting we need "one or two fundamental breakthroughs", good, I agree, at least two. Whether that can happen in 5 to 10 years depends on how creative everyone is. futurism.com/ceo-deepmind...

Fight. You don't have much time left.

There was no “debate” until Trump broke the law and cowardly mainstream journalists decided not to report the truth.

I repeat: First Democratic leader to face down a Trump tank wins the 2028 nomination. Do the right thing, win at politics.

Tapper: "Trump told Fox that he and Putin 'largely have agreed on' land swaps...Trump told European leaders that Putin will agree to end the war...in exchange for Ukraine ceding the entire Donbas region." Witkoff: "I don't know that we have the time now to go through all the different issues."

On this week's @onthemedia.bsky.social: @micahloewinger.bsky.social asking @beccalew.bsky.social about some of silicon valley's technocratic right-wing roots; Buckley and George Gilder to Marc Andreesen, Futurism to Fascism. You might already know it, but i guarantee you know somebody who doesn't.

Wow, he just rolled over and delivered Russia's ultimatum like his Lackey. I guess the USA just gives up then. "Trump said...that Ukraine should make a deal to end the war with Russia because “Russia is a very big power, and they’re not”" www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Wut.? Ok, this is very cool. arxiv.org/abs/2504.17033 I mean, it's *cool*, it nerdy in the extreme. But it's nerdy cool. Didn't this was possible at all. TL;DR - Someone has found a way to beat Dijkstra's algorithm that isn't constrained by sorting speed.

Hey internet hive mind, is there a good LLM chatbot that's totally run and hosted in Canada that anyone could recommend, for vibe coding and writing brainstorming?

How's everyone doing? You ok? Not long now. Just breathe, and have one more coffee.

given America's oversized impact on climate emissions, and global policy, reversing this, essentially giving up on fighting global warming, is putting the blood of millions of future lost lives on Trump's hands, and by Democratic extension, all Americans. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/c...

Why do philosophers worry so much about act state dependence, while economists don't care at all? @soashworth.bsky.social asked me this question, and I had a few guesses. But I'd be interested to hear what others think

My response to the great research from @sophiafreuden.bsky.social @ninajankowicz.com @garymarcus.bsky.social et. al. from the @americansunlight.org tl;dr : I only disagree that more reasoning can fix problem soon. Ppl need to stop using chatbots for news, right now. substack.com/@compthink/n...

The explicit plan is to ethnically cleanse Gaza with US help while the whole world watches.

My latest research on LLM grooming, co-authored with @ninajankowicz.com and @garymarcus.bsky.social, found that OpenAI's so-called "reasoning" o3 model cited Pravda network content 26.8% of the time in response to specific prompts. This research got cited today in a column by the Financial Times:

Such a great description of what is really happening and why results on these challenges shed absolutely no light on AGI even while being impressive achievements.

AI Bait & Switch: bait: we’re gonna make an AI that can solve any problem experts could solve. it’s gonna transform the whole world. switch: what we have actually made is fun and amazing, but rarely reliable and often makes mistakes – but ordinary people makes mistakes, too. So … AGI solved!

As the father of a 12yo… no likey www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202... I’m mostly off twitter for a lot of reasons. One is that I don’t want my son to think it’s acceptable to be on twitter because of me.

Our teams in Gaza have again run out of food to cook. We have finished all the stock in hand, and our trucks are stuck at the border. We are continuing to bake bread and deliver water. #ChefsForGaza (1/2)

Your optimization algorithm is a circuit! In our NeurIPS 2024 Spotlight paper with Stephen Boyd, Tetiana Parshakova, Jaewook Suh, we present a framework for designing optimization algorithms using (electric) circuit theory. (Video and paper links in reply)
