Neurodiversity, Leafs, but mostly random things that strike me as interesting and leave me wondering how I wound up with a pocket full of unusual rocks again.

On that basis, fuck this guy who actually declined to look at additional evidence the campus police had when it was offered to him www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/n...

D.A. in Cornell Rape Inquiry Declined to Review Additional Evidence (Gift Article)
Records show that campus police officers informed Tompkins County prosecutors that they had conducted additional interviews beyond taking a statement from the woman who said she was raped.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

yeah I think this gets at the core of it - "throw more compute at model development" hasn't stopped working yet, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight, and it's really fucking expensive there is a LOT of money to be here but not necessarily enough to match the continuous capex required

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Terry Schilling, a main architect of Republicans’ transphobic campaign messaging, has talked about the "magic" in spreading hate-driven propaganda. "How do win, how do we replicate this on other issues?” he asked on a right-wing podcast. What might those issues be?

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.

So much of schools "responding to rape" is preventing the legal system from doing so. This is a report on seven adults who committed serious felonies for which there is a legal system to remind them and their pals that they are felonies.

Leafs fans: This team is pure misery and ruining my life but I believe one day it will be worth it. Habs fans: We are the greatest franchise in sports history, even though it mostly happened before I was born. Yankees fans: We are the greatest franchise in sports history, and it is pure misery.

And, look who is promoting this campaign. Also, there is a name floating around X. No one has any idea if the name of that person is truly this Jane Doe.
Benjamin Ryan @ @benryanwriter • 42m
Journalist Michael Tracey is looking to disclose the identity of
Jane Doe, who filed the lawsuit against seven Cornell men,
alleging they gang raped her in a frat house.

The suit names the men but not the plaintiff.

Should Jane Doe's name be made public? Why or why not?

If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is,
get in touch and I would be happy to publish her

Dueling accusations of abuse are not uncommon in abusive relationships. If the victim fights back or buckles under the pressure and acts in self-destructive or reckless ways this is characterized as them having been the perpetrator all along. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is one prominent case.

This is both (a) the result of carelessness in the guardrails and (b) an unavoidable outcome with *all* AI. You can do better on (a) to mitigate when/how (b) occurs but a probabilistic model built to have essentially unlimited functionality will sometimes go bonkers. That's inherent to to the tech.
