Also for them to not bother expending the resources to pursue this story themselves, then piggyback off your hard work, then barely acknowledge your efforts, THEN dismiss you as a “blogger” is pretty fucking rude.
I wasn't going to make a fuss about this because I didn't want it to overshadow the work, but having someone take credit for something you worked on for nearly a year just really blows. The reporter made sure to say he hadn't heard of me before this. He clearly did not respect a "blogger."
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
As a professor of it, I once had to describe — in a single sentence — where authority originates in journalism.
Goes like this:
"I'm there, you're not, let me tell you about it."
In times of war it applies most. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7e3...

I often say that about you. 💜
An absolute madness rune for the Extremely Online Left is that people like Stephen Miller were deliberately echoing their talking points vastly overemphasising/lying about Liz Cheney's role in the Harris campaign because they correctly sensed that doing agitprop about it was demobilising.
This is at least the third attack on democratic official residences by right wing actors in under a year no?
there were the murders of the minnesotta state reps
the burning of the PA governor residence
and now this?
It really sucks to see NBC Washington post a reel on Instagram that takes credit for sharing the DOGE USIP raid body cam footage with the world. They mention The Handbasket in the caption knowing full well that all people are going to see is the video. Pretty shameless.
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
this made me cackle all the way through
…You don't get to open up philosophically loaded words like "consciousness" and "sentience" and "souls" without actually thinking through what they mean if they apply; it's not all shiny fun happy times of "gee whiz bang! honest to gosh AI!" There's real implications to that label, and I know that…
…I've said it so many fucking times, now, but I'll say it again, that it's really fucking messed up that all of these conversations seek to apply to fucking LLMs a standard of personhood we still don't consistently and meaningfully apply to other fucking humans.
I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.
Helping Lebanon (NOT ISRAEL) expel and dismantle Hezbollah would have been a much better use of our time and logical next step after Assad's fall/Gaza ceasefire than whatever blood-drenched, gas-spiking FoxNews nonsense we're doing now.
IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot
THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him
THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me
YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care
BECAUSE my position is immutable
A Guardian article headline reads "Airline expose depth of world travel's reliance on Gulf corridor"
Do you mean to tell me that actions have consequences, and that those consequences may inconvenience me
This, but do it for Trump's entire tenure.
After 3 years of being blocked/delayed by creepy insurrectionist Mike Johnson and fascist republicans, this Jan 6 honorary plaque meant to honor hero officers was installed at the US Capitol quietly at 4 am. It was required by law to be installed in March 2023. Shameless.
This is the inherent problem with making movies that cost a hundred million dollars to produce -- the economics of it require you to make it as broad, flattened and toothless as possible.
The more you spend the less risk you're allowed to take.
Ah, the ol' "actually, they bombed themselves" routine that Israel used whenever they bombed hospitals in Gaza.
By asking critics to both explain the *entire nature and function of consciousness* (something philosophers and neurologists have argued about for centuries!) AND prove a negative, the LLM acolytes are setting an impossible standard for their detractors.
THEY are the ones with something to prove.
This is a specific well-documented tactic from evolution deniers - unless you can explain *every single thing* using your framework, you have to concede it’s incorrect.
Which is, obviously, not how scientific models work. But it’s also disingenuous & flawed logic to put opponents on the defensive.
I don’t need to be able to explain the details of an internal combustion engine to say that a tricycle isn’t a car.
What’s hilarious is that these supposedly super-rational and logical techbros are making almost exactly the same arguments as creationists trying to debate against evolutionary theory
Reminiscent of Putin blaming Ukraine for bombing Ukrainian civilians.
There’s a reason middle managers think this tech is a job replacer. That’s their entire portfolio.
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”
Damn.
Sounds treasonous
After Reuters & NYT both reported that a U.S. precision strike bombed a girls’ school on an Iranian military base, Trump today *blamed Iran* saying his conclusion was based on Iran’s weapons being “inaccurate” — so inaccurate that they bombed their own base
