You can certainly build a robot to shoot 3's better than Steph Curry. It doesn't matter. It will never hit the same.

I want to experience a human being operating at their human excellence because they put human hours into their craft.

I genuinely believe we’d be in a much different place today. If every single day of any Trump presidency there has been a new impeachment filed with all Democrats voting for at every opportunity. Even if there had never been a republican defection it would frame things far more accurately.

Common thread in all the things wrong with genAI use across industries is that genAI is fundamentally anti-community and community is the most important part of any discipline, tradition, craft, study.

Gov. Ivey: Please Grant Clemency to Charles "Sonny" Burton Who Faces Execution Despite Not Having Killed Anyone The State of Alabama wants to execute Charles "Sonny" Burton for capital murder. But Sonny never killed anyone. The identity of the shooter, Derrick DeBruce, was never in dispute. However, Alabama al...

He's 75. He's in a wheelchair. He didn't pull the trigger. But Alabama plans to execute him. | Alabama Reflector Getting granted clemency remains the final most likely path to spare Burton from the execution planned for next month by nitrogen gas.

Alabama is set to execute Sonny Burton on March 12, even though he never killed anyone and the state admits that.

Sonny has stayed on death row for 33 years while his health deteriorates. Governor Ivey must commute his sentence.

If I get one more email about Claude or whomever the fuck.

1. I wanna read my own shit.

2. I wanna write my own shit.

3. I wanna pay an editor to talk me through my own shit.

4. I don’t want that AI bullshit. If you don’t use it, you lose it. And I want to hold my brain as long as possible.

They've cooked their brain with LLMs. But it's generous of me to assume they had much to microwave in the first place.

there are other requirements but that one is non negotiable

Based only on applying my own life experiences to those who outwardly pledge their love for him, I think it comes down to that deep-buried whisper that mixes a childhood sense of "wholesome attraction" with "I can change him." Typing this made me want to vomit tho

AI-generated art can’t be copyrighted after Supreme Court declines to review the rule A lower court previously said that β€œhuman authorship is a bedrock requirement of copyright.”

Looks like you cannot assert a copyright privilege over "art" that wasn't made by a human being. So go rip off those Coke commercials and maybe even the LLM versions of Disney characters all you want!!!

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. Kate Fox says Joe Ceccanti was the β€˜most hopeful person’ before he started spending 12 hours a day with a chatbot

I’m saying once again because OpenAI has said that a million people per week discuss suicide with ChatGPT and they still don’t have good safeguards built in. They only care as much as a lawsuit forces them to.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Abolish ICE. Defund it completely. Claw back the $75 billion allotted to it and give it to social programs. Give every immigrant attacked/imprisoned by ICE immediate US citizenship, if they want it.
