PLEASE this. And also to scientists writing press releases, too - calling something "AI" when it was actually your student spending 12 months fitting and validating a model is disingenuous

One of the things most quietly grieved amongst practitioners is the half-century of history and work in learning systems and technologies which have historically been categorized as “AI”, and they’ve all been run over by LLMs, and by the hype cycles the industry has *built* around LLMs. A huge loss.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

Every interaction I’ve ever had with an LLM chatbot is like dealing with the laziest, most glib, self-satisfied student I’ve ever had. The one that is *sure* they can talk their C- into an A if they just smile wide and wear you down with ass-kissing bullshit. Why would I pay for this experience

This would be GREAT for housing affordability. Zohran keeping his promises.

"If Mamdani's elected I'm leaving NYC" 1) lol bitch as if you would ever, but also 2) Your terms are acceptable.

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Jaguar Land Rover outsourced big parts of their IT operations to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Now they’re two weeks into a ransomware shutdown, with no ready way to restore operations. To TCS, this is just a contract. To JLR, it’s existential. It was foolish to outsource this.

Just another normal day in hell

There are 1000x as many stories (and public conversations) demanding statements and opinions about Zohran’s view on something he’s never said than there are about Republicans — and the GOP-embracing dems in NYC — explicitly espousing white-supremacist views. Sliwa has never been asked about it once.

Cville peeps, it's time to make your voice heard! Charlottesville city council is considering an action that will, in effect, criminalize homelessness in city limits. We keep each other safe. Act now—there are simple steps in the thread below—and tell council to reject the police chief's request!

everyone who is treating unblur like science really needs to look at "white unblurred obama" again

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

“Trump’s pretense to ownership of public goods and public spaces isn’t some quirk to be ignored or waited out — “there goes our Donald!” — but a direct expression of his autocratic ambitions and despotic cast of mind.”

Patently illegal

That’s a dystopia, Ezra. You’re describing a dystopia.

the zohran campaign mobilizing the masses to go outside and meet each other and get to know the city through a twee little scavenger hunt is advanced 22nd century levels of social democratic regime mass politics strategy while everyone else is still stuck on carrot & stick or pokemon go to the polls

This is the cost of the Senate filibuster: the last time the House, Senate and POTUS were all under D control (2020 - 2022) the House passed bills to eliminate gerrymandering and give DC statehood. The Senate did nothing on either in spite of having majority support. And so here we are.

blithely lying knowing there are zero consequences for lying is a hallmark of this administration

For the love of god can we stop airing articles about "X tech bro says this is gonna happen in X years clearly just in service of a publicity stunt". No. It's not going to happen. Obviously. Why are we indulging this?

Wow love for wall street to be in 1928 while the tech giants are in 2000. Sure hope none of these precariously placed dominos are attached to anybody's pension.

We’re all saying it, but this scary-city thing is such BS. I’ve lived in Manhattan & Brooklyn since 1993, I take the subway & walk all over the place & I’ve experienced *zero* serious crime. Cities are big, dense places full of crowds & strangers, but that doesn’t make them apocalyptic crimepots

Great story.

very human/very disturbing. a painfully real and in its way beautiful (abt the victim's work as a caregiver) description of a life horribly disrupted by getting caught in the nihilism maw of the Miller/Trump destruction machine.

oh, we have some straightforward gutter racism. “the blacks and the browns are the reason white people can’t get ahead” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Oh no.

“Release Mamdani’s admission records”? He didn’t get in! What Columbia policy could a random 17 year old have violated by ticking a box on a form

i can't even imagine the freakout if like mamdani or ilhan omar had ever refered to lenders as "shylocks." but unlike them, trump actually has a very long history of making disparaging remarks about jews
