i need some way to identify everyone who i both mute and follow to unfollow them but i don't think i care to figure that out rn

I can’t believe they made a 35-minute video just to explain my meme youtu.be/D8GOeCFFby4?...

yeah basically you can't really use the site for anything remotely to do with ai unless you're an extremophile. there's a reason why most of the people who talk about ai the most are Combat Posters, anyone who does not thrive on conflict simply stops bothering to post at some point

i'm sorry for either moving, or for moving and then not being completely destitute. yes i agree that you should be given money and i should not entirely because you got here before me, that sounds like a totally reasonable alternative to an inclusive societal safety net

probably time to start spreading the conspiracy theory that JD Vance killed Charlie Kirk for David and Bathsheba reasons

the writing in nier: automata is so fucking clever man. literally nothing about what is on the tin led me to expect this much cleverness

the irony is that "gentrifier" is a pejorative mostly used by people who are demanding legal reforms grant them permanent rent of some kind for either 1) doing nothing, 2) doing the unnecessary, or 3) owning land, or being located in a certain place -- ie, people demanding to be made gentry

new bluesky meta just dropped

ro khanna might be the best politician in congress

i do not understand how literally anyone who does not have this trait is in politics

break glass in case of mmacevedo

since people are reupping this i thought i'd mention: the watch and ring are ~roughly right for melinda so maybe i'm wrong. she seems too tall but she could be in heels. i assume bill has a type so it's hard to read being sort of similar as being melinda specifically

this bill appears is like 1/3rd good, 1/3rd catastrophic madness that sounds like the end of civilization, and 1/3rd anodyne madness anyway it effectively repeals section 230, ends the first amendment, and gives bluesky its copyright absolutism. also creates new exceptions to antitrust law

the proliferation of ideas based on how useful they are as outrage bait is not great for the quality of those ideas

i don't think "why is the left against ___" is as much of a fruitful question as "why are so many seemingly irrational left wing positions explained by online bullying?"

i feel way less paranoid for thinking they were messing with the earlier release

sometimes friction is good actually

implicitly if i go grab one thing and post it with a comment i am signing off that this is 1) relevant, and 2) not misleading in its total context. it's a very easy social contract to break!

court documents/case documents always include a bunch of random shit that the subjects of investigation simply had lying around, this is some weird attempt to exonerate clinton by drawing attention away from other and more damning photos

this one's gonna age great btw

someone made the mistake of fighting 1) a real boxer who was 2) only four years off his career peak

bill clinton has been nothing but negative for at least a decade and he's still, unfathomably, around, so i have no faith that he fucks off now

saw someone called a thesaurus and man let me tell you if you think anyone on here is bad about overusing big words you should see me talking when i'm drunk i have spent decades trying to use smaller words because people are weird about big ones

every part of this was gold

idk who else needs this but we have it now

pretty sure this is an address book that's already in the public record which makes the redaction especially odd because all it does is draw attention to it

the transformer model is not going to spontaneously uninvent itself. much consternation from this fact

from experience, under no circumstances should you omit the specific name of the shitty rich dude who is jewish or israeli when describing the bad but vaguely zionist-coded thing he did

telling my grandkids this was jeff epstein

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

thread demonstrating the difference between good and bad use of tool. i blame marketing tbh. marketing is all like "this is magic" and every specialist is like "this is a tool that goes with all my other tools for doing things that most people don't even think need doing"

This is part of the Trump administration’s Epstein Files release — 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, fully redacted. This is not transparency. This is a cover-up. Follow the law and release ALL of the damn files.

this is bait and it's going to work

the streisand effect is not self enforcing but it sure is robust

The Epstein Files, everybody!

This was found in the batch of Epstein files the DOJ released today.

autism

at this point i am liable to set up an llm-based phone menu system entirely out of hatred for the existing non-llm phone menus

The backdrop to the whole section 230 thing is that the Internet exists as a state backed social project with a set of load bearing exceptions to normal liability laws so the good thing can exist. The appetite for a repeal is because Silicon Valley has visibly given up on that project.

the trick is to ask mean questions about yourself constantly

I hate that the entire industry forgot how to give even the appearance of being pro-social because it's on some bizarre vice signaling shit.

i should stop arguing with people

This rhetoric is really funny to me because these brainworms do not exist in China. It's entirely a product of Silicon Valley having dogshit marketing and openly Musking all over the place.

fantastic article “two kinds of vibe coding” the part on testing is particularly insightful davidbau.com/archives/202...

because i cannot let anything go i keep coming back to this it really is like talking to antivaxxers, an activity that has historically not been rewarding for me

i use an LLM to help my work: this is cutting edge. nobody has figured this intersection yet. someone recommends i use an LLM: are you sick in the head? do you dare suggest my labor is doable by a mere machine? that i am a dunce, a cog? begone

so far as i can tell jonathan foley is a climate scientist who has no dog in this fight

There are many claims that AI is a “planet killing” source of greenhouse gases. But is it? This paper might be the most detailed estimate of the emissions associated with AI. It suggests that AI could emit as much as 30-80 *million* tons of CO2 per year. www.cell.com/patterns/ful...
