Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Huomio huomio: harhautusoperaatio käynnissä!

Saying universities have to allow AI because people are using it anyway is identical to demanding that mainstream TV stations show hardcore pornography. Like, yes, you can certainly make that argument. But only an absolute fool would see this response as the only viable course of action.

This paper keeps showing up on my feed. I'm just a guy who studies science but I don't think the message here is that LLMs are crazy powerful. We already know that LLMs aggregate opinions. And we know social scientists don't tend to test hypotheses thought to be 50-50 to go in either direction.

"An Israeli strike has killed 3people ahead of a public screening of a world cup game in the Gaza strip. 2 children were killed.. along with a member of the Egyptian relief committee, which organised the event. The strike occurred moments before the Egypt match against Argentina"

What happens when the presidency becomes a profitable investment? I joined Cliff Schecter and David Shuster of Blue Amp Media to talk crypto, political incentives, prediction markets, stock buybacks, why the economics behind it all matters. newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/trump-made...

Just as one thought the world cup seemed to be running fairly smoothly, MAGAland and FIFA corruption nonwithstanding.

EU wasted years thta could have been used to solve real problems while Cameron was trying to negotiate a "better deal" for the UK prior to the Brexit vote. Good luck with trying to get membership with the old exemptions and rebate.

Toimivassa poliittisessa kulttuurissa Rydmanin toimilla olisi seurauksia (hänelle itselleen). Nimellisesti Orpon mutta ilmeisesti tosiasiallisesti PSn johtamassa hallituksessa ei ole. yle.fi/a/74-20233575

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

Arvoisa sosiaali- ja terveysministeri Wille Rydman. Poliitikkojen tehtävä ei ole ohjailla, mitä saa tutkia. Heidän tehtävänsä on varmistaa, että tiede saa riittävät ja vakaat resurssit. tieteentekijat.fi/poliittinen-...

Hösten 2015 publicerade SD en lista över flyktingboenden. På ett torgmöte sa de: "svenska folket har en lång stubin, men när den stubinen brunnit klart, då smäller det". Och just så blev det, 2016 anlades totalt 55 bränder på flyktingboenden. 2026 är det dags igen, SD lanserar en karta över moskéer

My book refers to Musk’s USAID cuts as a Silicon Valley genocide. The richest man in the world took a chainsaw to the poorest people in the world. Laughing. So much money, so much death. Remember their names when billionaires preach “abundance.” 👇 In their AI dreams, we are all the future poor.

Muistatko missä olit, kun Ville Rydman päätti mikä on kelvollista tutkimusta ja mikä ei? Näin se alkaa. Jos haluamme, että se päättyy tähän, aika reagoida on nyt. www.linkedin.com/posts/lena-n...

More than 770,000 children are no longer receiving SNAP benefits after Trump changed the federal food program. Read that again. Then ask who voted for this. #RepublicansStarveChildren

Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren

After six consecutive Oxford-educated Prime Ministers, Britain may finally see some real diversity in the top job: a Cambridge-educated Andy Burnham

Speaking to FT chief economics commentator Martin Wolf at the #FTWeekendFestival, Paul Krugman reflected on the changing balance of global influence. Watch the rest of the festival live from New York City here: ft.trib.al/hjxApJM

If we’re doing PM rankings I think we need a quadrant model. Something like

Thread about our new @wid.world working paper with @jakobmolinder.bsky.social and Svante Prado on income inequality and structural transformation in Sweden, 1870–1970! Link to paper: wid.world/document/inc... Thread 1/

This requires urgent, internationally coordinated action. Our current set of big country leaders just don't have it in them, alas.

In a nutshell.

Voi tosiaan olla tuollaista temaattista siirtymää havaittavissa. 😅

Nice thing to see on my way home.

@robertshrimsley.bsky.social: ‘It would also be right to be outraged at the case of Chas Corrigan, a British construction worker who murdered a Saudi student in Cambridge, stabbing him in the neck. But you probably haven’t heard about it since it doesn’t fit the zeitgeist’ www.ft.com/content/3fa9...

Wise and reflective text by Simon Kuper but I remain unpersuaded.

Om detta är ett genuint inlägg av en IDF-soldat - och jag hoppas det utreds - behöver Nordiska länder reagera.

New one for the gallery

Äärioikeistojohtajan kiihkeässä tuhosaarnassa ”kulttuuri” viittaa etnisyyteen ja on korvannut mm. ”rodun”. ”Väestönmuutos” on korvannut ”väestönvaihdon”. Sanoja säädetään hieman salonkikelpoisemmiksi, mutta pelottelu- ja vastakkainasettelumerkitykset ovat entiset. #rasismi #äärioikeisto

One more reason to boycott this World Cup

The White House today announced it plans to make major changes in how the U.S. government manages research funding. https://scim.ag/43HgW4s

'Leftwing' does not have to mean fiscally loose. "More open policies on migration and Europe and a fairer tax system would be economically “left” of the present government. But they would improve the public finances and reduce the deficit." Me in @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/7235...

All the more reason to take it away from the Tories!

Welcome to the kleptocracy. Now let's get the thieves and grifters out and restore the rule of law.

The Trump US is Europe's enemy, up there next to Putin Russia. It is time to set sanctions on at least Michael Needham, possibly other up to and including Rubio. The US demands are simply unacceptable.

Read and learn.

I so look forward to the day this evil clown is British Prime Minister.

What is recounted here is horrendous beyond words. Every civilized country, including Finland and Sweden, should invite Israels ambassador to their foreign ministry for a stern rebuke. But they won't, will they, because they never do.

Who could have imagined turning over campus instructional infrastructure to a private equity backed for-profit firm would have a downside? Not like this is the end of the semester with students studying for exams that start tomorrow. And all their course materials are inaccessible. 🤡

John Fischetti’s comment on high-tariff advocates in the US and the impact on post-war Europe, March 1953.

A new turn in UK fascism.

This is grotesque on multiple levels.

Your periodic reminder that if you ask "frontier models" questions about something you actually know something about, you'll quickly realize that they're completely full of shit.
