One of our biggest Q3 milestones: Synapse v3 became generally available. 🚀 Three years in the making, v3 brings a more flexible data model, an enhanced analyst experience, and a stronger foundation for complex intelligence work. ICYMI, take a look: vertex.link/synapse-v3

Trump and Hegseth have killed 230+ people on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific with no proof they did anything wrong, no congressional approval, no nothing. Just 2 unhinged fascists ordering our military to commit murder. Vote against all Republicans for the sake of all that is decent.

ICE has a bigger budget than the Marine Corps & still conned Congress out of $20M more for bodycams. Swore every agent would wear one by August. It’s September and ICE shot an Austinite in the back. They say there was no camera. They’re liars with masks and a blank check from Trump.

Tonight, Jewish New Yorkers mark the start of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. It is the peak of the Yamim Noraim, the Days of Awe, and an opportunity for profound reflection.
 
For those fasting — tzom kal, may your fast be easy and meaningful.

Agreed. It's particularly dangerous because that failure mode is often confident, high impact, and painfully obvious if anyone had bothered to validate the output. 🙄😡

I'd further clarify that we can't blame LLMs for our mistakes *ever*. It is a tool and cannot be held accountable, punished, or rewarded. It is our responsibility to validate LLM outputs before passing them onward for others to review or use ✊
