living in a rogue nation is not nearly as exciting as the mission impossible film makes it seem

lie to me, I'm a liberal

if this set of reactions to posting is anything to go by, we're gonna go into a full recession with how many people get fired when it happens

this whole affair has led to levels of bathos previously thought unattainable

that's probably not going to work out well

I hate LLMs so much you guys. so much. they're moral sinkholes, vacuous traps of thought

"the guy I like is actually a basically pleasant bureaucrat" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12239 pages of heated debate

i don't understand, how could the data indicate that crime is down when people have one-off anecdotes of observing crimes and the subjective sense that crime is 'high'?

butlerian jihad now

so given that every elected republican is culpable, how do you deal with someone that's willing to vote republican again. like, personally, not bombastic and postingly

just saw hayden birdsong chugging a red bull 5m before his start and now I like him even more

found out I'm gonna get to teach my fascism and liberalism class next semester and I might have to rethink my "is america vulnerable to fascism" section

a new and exciting experience in teaching is reading a paper clearly written by AI explaining why it's wrong to use AI to do our creative work for us

I have sadly been caused to think about LLMs again and now I'm mad again

I don't understand how the Times can never determine whether Trump is lying but can say with certainty when he is joking.

I was about to quote dunk matty but then I remembered that people have to actually read what I repost and opted for kindness (to you not him)

@theturtleman.bsky.social ok the giants just had one of those home runs we were talking about

when talking about LLMs and AI, it's important to remember that the Luddites were 100% correct

the life expectancy charts in 30 years are gonna be wild

chatgpt how to reconcile ideological adherence to democratic principles with reality

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

has anyone written a paternalist case for preventing billionaires from existing

in this house we always reshare the screaming females "if it makes you happy" cover

for the life of me I cannot think of a reason to incentivize the growth of the population faster than it already is increasing, and if we're talking about developed nations, I can't think of a reason to incentivize it through birth rather than immigration. it simply is not a problem

it's kinda funny that the rightists were so concerned with a war of civilizations that didn't exist that they engaged in a war on civilization. anyway I think the enlightenment was broadly Good

if you're not spending the next years saying that once we get them out we're going to prosecute them and lock them up, then why should anyone care what you have to say or want to vote for you

you ever think of how terrifying it must be to be in the batter's box against a MLB pitcher

this ad about the hall of fame just makes me remember that it's made meaningless by barry bonds not being in it

mlb tv kinda sucks huh, like 50% of the time it tells you to go sign up for some other streaming service

do you think The News will propel a new hiring focus in philosophy of fascism instead of philosophy of AI. I think it should, in an unbiased manner that reflects a carefully considered view of the appropriate goals and concerns of the profession
