whose frontier model do i have to thumb my nose at to be put in the ai haters blocklist

Four years ago today, I posted my first beetle moses comic

Compiler goes to programmer. "Programmer, I am in rough shape. Mutable references abound and the tiniest changes break API compatibility." Programmer replies, "The treatment is simple! Rewrite in Haskell and GHC will sort you right out." Compiler bursts into tears: "But I am GHC!"

This is my favorite Beetle Moses comic. I'm looking forward to this collection!

only thing worse than being unemployed is getting rejected from a job you think you'd be pretty good at

"Effective immediately, Fisher-Price will exit the 'child development toy' vertical and re-emerge as Mattel·igence AI Defense Systems, a fully integrated autonomous weapons manufacturer focused on AI-enabled lethality solutions for the modern battlefield. Our stock is up 4000%."

I think that as economists we should be a lot more concerned that everyone feels like they've got poorer when the data show they haven't. We certainly shouldn't just be assuming that the customers are wrong, rather than that we're no longer measuring things that are most relevant to wellbeing

Another day that I’ll offer to help folks move from Substack to Ghost or Buttondown. Putting content on there is no different than Twitter at this point. leavesubstack.com

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

I was going to suggest that bus service frequency be increased in Sydney then remembered we have this ridiculous perpetual shortage. At least Singapore went to PRC to recruit bus drivers when they needed them.

I have a perfect idea for fixing and funding this app simultaneously: make each reply cost $1, to be refunded when it is liked by the OP.

For those of us who never used all of our Bluesky invite codes before they went away, they should be turned into uninvite codes where we can delete accounts of our choice

Sci Fi Horror where it's not about the AI getting sentient, it's about humans starting to think only in AI patterns, from writing to speech to an 'ethical' system, and nobody knows if they're interacting online with real people or not bc nobody can tell the difference anymore

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

i wonder if JD Vance would be surprised to know many husbands don't have to make their wives promise not to jump out of airplanes

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"This is classic Negotiating 101 courtesy of the Faceless God himself. Sure, he may have kicked it up a notch from 'sheer madness' to 'abject depravity,' but that's for the pundits to debate."

What do you want Democrats to do? There's nothing they can do. However, it's very important you continue to vote for them and give them money, as they continue to do nothing.

A reminder of why Trump waged war on Iran: www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

The US spent the last century using the Pinkertons and FBI to brutally beat and murder the Left in the US. There *is* no Leftist power remaining in the US, and anyone who at all promised to create one got assassinated by the FBI generations ago. bsky.app/profile/pook...

Rules and norms about war crimes are a global public good. If you or anyone in your family is between 16 & 60, male, & walks, you have a direct personal interest in it not being legitimate for them to be assinated for walking within any undeclared 3km radius around any combatant.

African American sculptor Melvin Edwards, known for his Minimalist works that incorporate industrial materials to confront and interrogate racial violence in the U.S., passed in Baltimore at 88 on March 29th. His “Lynch Fragments” are so powerful. May he rest in peace. #BlackSky #ArtSky

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

i find it odd that i haven't heard anything about the impact of LLMs on r/overemployed, feels like a match made in heaven

It’s time for the US to strike a devastating final blow against Iran with a total, unconditional surrender

just imagined 2008 but with crypto involved and I’m not sure I’ll ever stop screaming

Trump: "I used a mail-in ballot. You know why? Because I'm President of the United States and because of the fact that I'm President of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot."

This is art

No one in the entire history of humanity has ever transitioned just to win a sporting event. It has never happened. It will never happen.

i hope folks pay attention to what's going on with Bushwick City Farm in Brooklyn - this space was a trash-filled lot before activists broke in 15 years ago and built a community farm that feeds hundreds of families every year. now it's been padlocked by the landowner after years of bureaucratic bs
