In case you missed it last night: we are seeing reports all over the country of immigration surges and state violence. If you need whistles for your community, we will send you 100-3000 3d printed for free, and we will love doing it. 3dwhistles.com

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

I will point out, however, that serious scientists are cautious with their claims. Furthermore, as we wrote in 2021 (in "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?🦜"), p.616: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... >>
Screencap from linked article, highlighted portion:

This can seem counter-intuitive given the
increasingly fluent qualities of automatically generated text, but we
have to account for the fact that our perception of natural language
text, regardless of how it was generated, is mediated by our own
linguistic competence and our predisposition to interpret communicative acts as conveying coherent meaning and intent, whether
or not they do [89, 140].

This is fantastic news. The biggest problem with this is that if all the nations of earth create similar tax policies, the few billionaires who might otherwise flee will remain in your country for not having a more advantageous nation to which they can retreat. We'd be stuck with them.

This is, to my mind, the worst aspect of lawyer brain. Not objecting to something in a court of law is not the same as not objecting to it. There is **of course** a moral case to be made that TOS unnecessarily and unjustly intrude on human freedom.

A photo of 7 pinback buttons printed with fluorescent pink and black on white paper. There is a pink no symbol, crossing out "gen ai". Around the pink circle, in white it says "bad for community, bad for the earth, bad for truth, bad for community"A photo of me holding the button for scale

Transphobic rot has truly spread and taken root in the minds of the media because they're trying to make "social contagion" stick for every issue from menopausal women who want hormone treatments to the right-wing demographic panic. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a tranny.

I love the Fall/Halloween season. I am not a fan of most (like 99%) horror video games. Being a streamer sucks right now for me. (Note: if your game does horror that isn't just body horror, jump scares, gross outs, etc. and focuses on the wider range that the genre offers, then sure, hit me up.)
