I think it's closer to the truth that LLMs *can* save time on *some tasks* which can be valuable *if* you monitor them and check their output. But that doesn't get you a trillion dollars so they have to squint into the middle distance and say stupid sci fi bullshit instead

I think he knows it isn’t. They say it that way because that’s how Trump says it.

Every time I think it’s time to take a break from this album, I end up going right back to it. I knew they would be great even without Brent, but I had no idea they were going to be this great.

You’ve really been able to state all of my current feelings in a way I’m unable to. Thanks for that.

Personally, as a journalist and a Jew, I think the most important thing to do is to call out and point at things like the phenomenon described below. But there are a lot of gross people who have attached themselves to this conflict who are benefiting from it www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

IDF deliberately targeting children in Gaza, US doctors allege

American physicians reported treating children younger than 12 "every single day" for gunshots to the head by Israeli forces.

I do not mean to center myself here as I know these problems pale in comparison to the experiences of people in the war zone and their families. But in the US context, being a Jew opposed to Israel's actions is a really confusing and lonely square on the chess board.

My favorite Paulie idea was “hey what if I stand up for my Ma against these old lady bullies?” What a great thought and commendable thing he did as her son… and then he kills the lady. Stunad.

Can’t wait to ask him how he plays some of these crazy new riffs.

Love it. It exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be at least as good as H&G, but it sort of blows it away. I still love that album, but this is really something different. Production is astoundingly good. I’ve got a guitar lesson with Bill coming up in a couple weeks when they play in Philly

Has anyone theorized that this dude is involved in a relationship with an LLM that is making his delusions even more ridiculous than they already are?

I mean… something has always been amiss with Rainn Wilson. I loved The Office and I loved how he played Dwight. But he’s a super weirdo and definitely has always felt a little grifty.
