It's never too late to stop using AI. It doesn't matter what you're using it for, however much you're relying on it, you can stop. There's nothing it does that can't be replaced by other, better methods. You can always learn new skills, it's never too late.

So many people miss that there's a fundamental difference between, say, reading Lovecraft despite his racism, and consuming Rowling despite her transphobia - in that doing the latter is actively funneling money and power to hurting people right now.

My hottest take is that some many of these “insurgent” candidates are just much better candidates and they focus on grass roots organizing which still works in today’s very weird media environment. Many of these candidates are also offering something instead of the status quo.

Very very good @jasonkoebler.bsky.social piece here on why Claude's 'watermark' method is so deeply ingrained in the fundamental crapness of text generation technology itself www.404media.co/anthropics-t...

The point is, there is no conscious thought or decision-making process happening here, so perhaps watermarked AI text is not all that much more offensive than regular AI text. But to see it laid out in such stark terms by the companies building these machines shows how little they actually care about writing. If you asked me, on the other hand, why I used one word instead of another, I might not be able to tell you exactly why, but I could probably explain to you what I was going for, the style of writing I do, my intended audience, my mood that day, whether my heart was racing or not, where I was, what I was doing, what I did earlier that morning and what I did later that day. Maybe it was a word my third grade teacher used all the time or which I read in an article last week or is an inside joke with my friends or which I have recently become obsessed with or tend to overuse. Why I wrote what I wrote or why I did anything at all is the result of my some mix of human experiences dating back to when I first acquired language as a baby and continuing on to this very moment that I may or may not be able to explain, but which result in a certain style of writing that is mine.

The bar exam tests you on memorizing large amounts of law, and for the record, it would be malpractice for a lawyer to rely solely on memory while practicing law because you should always check to make sure your memory is accurate and also that the law hasn't changed. It is a useless hurdle.

What Is Safe To Eat? How I'm Thinking About Cyclosporiasis as of 2AM on Juky 23rd www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...

So here's how I'm thinking about this:

Avoiding all uncooked produce provides the best reduction in risk from Cyclospora. If you really, really don't want Cyclosporiasis, avoiding all uncooked produce seems to me like the thing to do. Because of the way produce is packaged and moved, cross-contamination is much easier than I would like. (e.g. the lettuce in the supermarket refrigerator case drips on to the carrots). As we've previously discussed, heat kills Cyclospora.

Only eating produce from a known, trusted, local farm (or garden!) provides a similar level of risk reduction. But you only get that level of risk reduction if they're not co-mingling with 'bought in' produce. (e.g. some farmers run shops/stands/markets in which they sell their own produce, but also sell produce purchased from wholesalers). Lettuce from your own garden should not have Cyclospora.

If you're willing to tolerate a bit more risk by eating uncooked produce (or if your diet requires you eat uncooked produce), I would still avoid lettuce. At this point, lettuce does seem to be a main driver of this outbreak.

I would also not eat raw herbs or berries. Why? Table 1. Again, I'm being — what some would certainly consider — overly cautious. But because it seems like everyone involved is a bad faith actor, and cyclospora loves fresh herbs and berries, if those aren't a vital part of your diet, I might hold off for another week to see if additional evidence emerges from the various ongoing public health investigations.

if you've got a medically uncomplex toddler who only eats blueberries, I'd keep giving them blueberries.

if you're allergic to bactrim and immunocompromised, I'd probably skip the blueberries for now
