The bit they don’t mention is that Kalshi is regulated as swaps, not gambling, which is why they’re not following *state* gambling laws, and they’re being “regulated” by the exchange.

Crap. Am I a duplicant? Or the person they sliced up to put into the printing pod?

Most people know him from Jurassic Park or Event Horizon, but for me, most memorable was Sam Neill in one of my favorite movies of all time, The Dish. We'll miss you, Sam.

Brilliant design, bungie.

A screenshot from the game Destiny 2. I’m sitting in a lobby for a story mission that needs 12 players to run, but the player count is stuck at 1/12, because people only run this when they’ve got to run the story. Something they only needed to do once per character ever.

Clearly, the diaper program is discriminating against Nappy-rash-Americans

Wa-pos execrable screed against a cheap free diaper program.

While I appreciate the potential utility, it seems the sole purpose is to turn my sunglasses into a face burning torture device.

There was an old adage about consulting old philosophers and young doctors. I’m not sure that’s going to hold up in a couple of years if this is what medical students are required to learn from.

Picture from a medical textbook, using ChatGPT to generate anatomy diagrams that are just flat out wrong. The picture is attributed to AI, and contains muscles that don’t exist or are in the wrong place.

The last few paragraphs in this article is sending me. They just had a whole report about how kinda garbage it is. But they need to side with the c-suite, so the only conclusion they're able to make is to just do more of it. 🫠

Article excerpt reads: To Bain & Company, companies will need to fully commit themselves to realize the gains they've been promised.
"Real value comes from applying generative AI across the entire software development life cycle, not just coding," the report reads. "Nearly every phase can benefit, from the earlier discovery and requirements stages, through planning and design, to testing, deployment and maintenance."
"Broad adoptions, however, requires process changes," the consultancy added. "If AI Speeds up coding, then code review, integration and release must speed up as well to avoid bottlenecks."

Excerpt from an article: 'Government officials often catch ChatGPT "hallucinating," records show.'
The image shows several examples of the LLM making up facts and figures, and the workers getting frustrated with it, asking it not to hallucinate in response.

Here in Melbourne, Australia, we used this. It was perfect. Plan the route at the high level, then look up the streets around the destination for the final part of the trip. Obviously easier with a navigator. Cross-country trips required a bit more effort.
