Trump is going to resign shortly after the midterms, and Vance will give him a blanket pardon for everything ever done everywhere ever. No state will prosecute for state crimes. Everyone will say "we're looking to the future, not swelling on the past. #timecapsulemonday

Stop telling us how bad it is. Tell us what you're going to do about it. Tell others what they might do about it. Meet them. Gather together in large groups. Make an appointment as a group with your local representative, at any level. Read a book about Nonviolent Resistance.

Four men. Three of them are wearing bright reddish orange shoes.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck from Duck Tales. They have bright orange feet.

Microsoft-owned LinkedIn just added a “seems like AI slop” button to report posts that don’t feel human-written. It’s part of a broader push to get rid of AI slop on LinkedIn www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

LinkedIn actually adds a ‘seems like AI slop’ button

It’s also removing an AI “enhance” feature.

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business

This is such a fun idea: An LLM trained only on data from before 1930. You can try it out here: talkie-lm.com/chat

User: Didn't Babbage try to mechanize computers?

Talkie-1930: Mr. Babbage did make an attempt to construct a calculating machine, which should perform arithmetical operations; but the project was ultimately abandoned. Computers are, consequently, still necessary.

User: Would it be feasible to continue Babbage's project?

Talkie-1930: It would be possible to continue Mr. Babbage's project, but very improbable that it would ever be made practically useful. The great expense of such a machine would be an insuperable obstacle to its general adoption; and the probable errors to which all calculations must be liable, when performed by machinery, instead of by intelligent beings, would render the results unreliable.

Should the USA nuke Iran, how are we all feeling about rounding up every American in our countries, nationalizing the assets of every American company, and breaking off relations with the USA? This feels like the mildest reaction at this point.

Trump didn’t suddenly start lying last week, he’s always lied to you … about everything. You didn’t care then because you were not harmed by the lies and stood to benefit. Wonder what’s changed?
