Spent this past week in Mississippi. Of all the college mascots, Delta State University's Fighting Okra is the greatest mascot.

Large language models are not the sorts of entities that can be held responsible. This lede should read "Using AI agents, Anthropic tried to gain access to a range of government websites...."

Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

This is true, which is where politics comes in! Do people think that companies decided to create the 5-day workweek, the 40-hour standard, etc.? Haaail no, that was politics that got us there! So all the more reason *whispers* not to give companies the choice!! /endwhisper

I get why Mamdani governs the way he does but the mayor or governor I'll really be excited about is the one who says "We're doing this because fuck them" when it comes to pro-Abortion, pro-Trans, pro-Immigrant and other such policies.

Yeah OpenAI or Anthropic or whoever might go bankrupt, some specific use cases like ‘therapists’ might be litigated to oblivion. But things that involve interfacing with code are never, ever going back to the modal default being a human being typing things out, like it’s just full stop not happening

An Alluring Catch in the Florida Keys Isn’t a Fish. It’s Cocaine.
Bricks of the drug frequently surface in the waters off the island chain. Despite the risks, some who discover “square grouper,” as they’re known, hang onto them.

DON’T BE SAD, A BEAUTIFUL NEW JWST IMAGE DROPPED!!!
A young star cluster filled with many stars that display Webb’s unique eight-pronged diffraction pattern. At its center is a yellow star which sports the largest diffraction pattern. To the left of the star, there is a region filled with yellow dust and gas that extends from the star to the left border of the image. This yellow region extends from the bottom, covering about two-thirds of the image. The yellow region has several blue stars of different sizes embedded within. The top third, which lies outside of the yellow region, holds a few bright protostars, within dense gray gas. Those stars illuminate the gas, making it appear blue. A few red outflows from other protostars are visible above this grayish-blue region. To the right of the central star, there is a clumpy, flame-like plume of red dust and gas with protostars that emit a soft white light within. The plume is surrounded by more dense gray gas and dust.

Corrolary 1: if the training data contains associations of your public persona with nazis, future models will automatically give you bad code Corollary 2: you want the real good code? Best put on those programming socks, cat-ear headphones, and make sure it's publicly known you want trans rights
