It's this but then the exterminator sends you text messages asking for more money every 3 hours for the rest of your life

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

No sorry I will not allow treating transgender people as anything less than full and equal members of American society be characterized as purity and something to be papered over to defeat the right. If people like Buttigieg and Newsom want to throw those rights under the bus we have more options.

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Just spoke with former Officer Mike Fanone about the Biden pardon that covers him and other officers who testified before the Jan. 6 committee. “This is a different kind of American exceptionalism. It’s exceptionally fucked up.”

It is key to remember that lots of perfectly nice *not extremely online people* who leftists could form a popular front with *identify as liberals*. These are NOT the same people as the wackos posting terminally dumb and homophobic Resist Lib memes on this website: they’re useful normies.

A new movie satirises the myth that climate change is a consequence of too many people. In the real world, our overpopulation obsession must be euthanised.

IMO it's not helpful to criticize or get mad at otherwise-well-meaning folks who are opposed to the Hunter Biden pardon I think those folks are wrong on the merits, but I totally understand where they're coming from and think reasonable minds can disagree 1/

I’ve come to abandon the use case for LLMs to summarize text because the summaries usually miss vital parts and are disappointing when I look closer. Australian government now has proof this is the case. Another proof that LLMs have more limitations we need to understand.

Opinion | The Olympic committee studied trans athletes. Conservatives won't like what it found.
Few anti-LGBTQ policies have taken off as quickly as those banning trans women and girls from women’s and girls’ sports.

Nerds are the ones who warned you about cryptocurrency, and NFTs, and the internet of things. Nerds are the ones trying to explain to you that "AI" is just overhyped pattern recognition which we already had for years. Techbros are not nerds. They're predators.
“techbro” is just the reemergence of thinking it’s cool to hate nerds, mixed in with a bunch of resentment from watching the last 20 years of nerds taking over the world

This is easier to understand when you realize generative AIs are not writing whole sentences or using "intelligence" They're running loops that add one word at a time based on the prior words, what word is statistically most likely to come next, and an intentional randomness / "heat" setting

Elise Stefanik's deranged efforts to defend Trump are more than just an absurd spectacle. They show that it's getting harder for Republicans to explain away Trump's worsening legal mess with the usual MAGA nonsense. This gives Dems an opening. 1/ Link: newrepublic.com/article/1783...

Elise Stefanik’s Deranged Defense of Trump Offers Democrats a Lesson
Even many Republicans can smell that the conventional wisdom about Trump’s legal woes helping him is about to change. Democrats need to play hardball.

Also, even more deeply—and surely someone has made this point—even if we agree on what “the drafters” “wanted,” we only have the record of those ALLOWED TO BE DRAFTERS. Putatively-objective Originalism makes the normative choice that the silencing of women and ppl of color is … not really an issue.
