do you have any idea how useful gravel is or how expensive it is at scale

Turns out a company ran by David Ellison doesn't understand that no means no

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

ALTMAN: And so you can use Sora to generate interesting videos of you and your friends, all with AI. FALLON: (giggling) So, heh, so that's a video of me in space, wow! ALTMAN: Exactly. FALLON: Could you generate a video of me where I'm not just a useful clown for fascism? Where my work has meaning?

I did this about a week ago to someone who kept asking "Are there any updates? —X" I had to reply, to X, & X's group, & my group, "Here is a quote from my previous message, stating that I'm not authorized to do it, that you, X, are authorized to do it & it is your job." Did not feel good saying it

I never saw nor wanted to see Snakes on a Plane But Snakes on a Plane was mindless fun, (probably) competently written for its intended purpose Nuzzi's book appears to be poorly written & pretends to be journalism Snakes on a Plane doesn't deserve the derision Nuzzi's book does

Looking good, sir

I suppose it only makes sense a Russian troll farm was trying to reignite The Troubles

Elon finally sharing his stash.

“Christ did not die for the good and beautiful. It is easy enough to die for the good and beautiful; the hard thing is to die for the miserable and corrupt.” ― Shūsaku Endō, Silence

beauty is suffering

155mm for dictators, 155% tax rate for billionaires, $1.50 hot dogs for the public

*Leavitt: Ah, it's probably not a problem, probably… but I'm seeing a slight discrepancy in… well, no. It's within reasonable boundaries again. *Leavitt: Not great, not terrible

This was partly my logic in buying an EV instead of a PHEV. Once EVs got reasonably priced (2017), why would I want the hassle & weight of two separate systems?

"If a job's worth doin it's worth doin well & this job ain't worth doin well so therefore it ain't worth doin" Have I talked about what I expect the end state of AI to be? Just to stake my position. I remember hearing Ray Kurzweil talking about how by 2020 we would have modeled a human brain

Oof. He was truly a master, from Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern to Arcadia to Leopoldstadt—just a lifetime of tremendous, thought-provoking, hilarious work. RIP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Would be hilarious if in the end the only jobs AI replaced were the C suite

I second the motion to adopt this term.

Not give us a medal for being so brave and honest on the telephone Not bawled us out and told us never to be seen driving garbage around the vicinity again But a secret third thing

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.
