"Let me just read it."
Proceeds to read the executive order for the first time.
usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
Three panel comic of two people talking. Text reads: WE INVENTED A ROBOT THAT ANSWERS QUESTIONS WE JUST HAVE TO FEED IT 10 BABY GIRAFFES A DAY BUT IT ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY? OH MY GOODNESS, NO. NO NO NO NO NO
This comic is sublime

If you genuinely believed you were 18 months from building a superintelligence that could cure cancer, you probably wouldn't pivot the entire company to horny chatbots. But I'm just a person with priorities. Maybe the path to solving death really does go through AI girlfriends. I don't have an MBA.
Forget running out of tokens; Claude is on stress leave.
I'll take "Proof society is on the wrong track" for $600 please, Alex.
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
Nostrildamus had predicted this.
The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality of others living in the country as bad than good.
Canada is on the opposiite end of the spectrum--they overwhelmingly see their neighbors as morally good

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
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.
This is both a good joke and an accurate description of what using genAI to compile a bibliography does for you cognitively. You’re not learning anything if you don’t do your own generating. This is basic pedagogical stuff!
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
I get it now.
AI means “artificial information.”

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
I saw someone compare Chuck Schumer to Neville Chamberlain, and damn is that ever accurate.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Trump is calling on Iran’s civilians to “rise up” and take over their government for their safety and freedom, which is strange because back home US citizens are being shot, detained, or threatened simply for filming immigration agents and excercising their Constitutional rights
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
This is how a smart competent woman stand up for herself. Truth, facts and respect are how we move our country forward and out of the utter chaos we are currently experiencing!

Hillary Clinton has officially answered more questions about Epstein than Donald Trump.
It must be incredibly difficult and heartbreaking to leave your home, so I have plenty of gratitude for these nurses who are packing up to go where they're wanted. Kudos to @todmaffin.com for the positive action.
I guess “getting a free pass because you know a guy” is evergreen. listorati.com/10-nazi-scie...
This Anthropic and Pentagon standoff is not getting enough attention. Anthropic is prepared to walk away from a $200M contract because they’re concerned about how the Pentagon wants to use their tech for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. We are at a dangerous intersection.
Publicly supporting women is nice, but what really matters is what men do behind closed doors. What matters is how they hold each other accountable.
The men’s hockey team shouldn’t get a pass because they were in the locker room—that’s where women need their support the most.
The USA Women’s Hockey Team has officially passed on Trump’s State of the Union invite. I’m not saying women are better than men, or vice versa, but we can all draw our own conclusions knowing which team was excited by a man repeatedly mentioned in the Epstein files
