Lest you forget you're listening to a Tom Morello album, here he comes with that Fozzie bear-ass guitar. And I'm here for every wokka wokka wokka.

The only group chat where I'm not essentially a cryptid is three people, one who is a cancer survivor, and you never know when they post if its going to be a health scare/update or the absolute most unhinged shit you've ever seen. Sometimes those are back to back.

So, what are the odds that was a person typing that misspelled it and a GenAI that predicted an s instead of a d? I'm guessing the first, but oh how delicious if it was the second.

Saw a headline that said, "Disney Hit by Layoffs" as though Disney themselves weren't the ones initiating the layoffs.

The combat is so good, but everything else stops once there are more lion dogs to save. That said, Capcom dropped the ball on not letting me pet them when they show up in the area around Lady Murasaki

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

Fisrt, that's how health insurance works. Second, what, exactly, is the fraud here? Paying for insurance and not using it benefits who (other than the insurance companies) and how?

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

As @dessadarling.bsky.social says in her song Fire Drills, "By definition you can't make a difference If the big ambition Is simply standing sentry to your innocence."

I shudder to think about the percentage of people in charge of this system were also a part of it when they were in college themselves.

I guess that the best argument, for me, against AI is that everyone advocating it seems to be a psychopath.

According to my nonexistent sources, Trump officials state they, "didn't realize anyone would check their work" before proceeding down their usual playbook of blaming Biden and, somehow still, Obama.

GenAI? The slop machine saw a blonde woman off to the side of Trump and based on available data assumed it had to be Natalie? Whatever it is, it's weird.

Big names in AI and Silicon Valley tech announced yesterday that they're launching a boarding academy for 16 to 22 year olds. (Would you trust the people in this scene with keeping an eye on minors?) theacademysf.com

Thrilled to announce our latest incubation: Horowitz Andreessen Academy.

Horowitz Andreessen Academy will be a two-year residential program in San Francisco for 16 to 22 year olds.

My biggest regret from my college experience is how divorced it was from the real world (both practically but also intellectually)

HAA is the opposite. Students will learn from real-world practitioners and intellectuals; including founders (Sam Altman, Brian Armstrong, Jensen Huang), investors (Elad Gil, Daniel Gross), and professors (Agnes Callard, Tyler Cowen), among hundreds of others. The Academy is the educational experience I wish I had.

In 1984, the educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom published a paper about how the average student who received one-on-one tutoring focused on mastery techniques performed better than 98% of the control group. For generations, this was viewed as unrealistic to implement even if it produced the best outcomes.

Ah yes, Robert Eggers, know for his meticulous adherence to period-accurate language is going to use a language 600 years out of date at the time of Shakespeare for this adaptation. Sure.
