if there's a Dem who you want to catch the eye of national funders and you have some loose change rattling around, now is the time to give it to them to boost their Q3 numbers so they can present a stronger case to national funders

It's that time of year again where I get to professionally block Storrow drive so we can take trucks down the famous "No Trucks" road
The front of a Penske box truck across the entry lanes into Storrow Drive, blocked traffic waiting behind.

Super lay person take but I guess it doesn't intuitively surprise me that LLMs could "do" addition problems that aren't in their training data, in the same way that I don't assume an image generator producing a picture of a tiled roof necessarily had that roof in its training data?

I guess it would be nice if people acknowledged what actually existing pro Israel liberalism in the US is today? It doesn't seem very compatible with wanting Democrats to win. Weird.

The acceleration of whatever form of capitalism we are presently in is unstable across industry and it shows. Everybody is in crisis. Nobody is sure what's next because the system itself doesn't have much interest in the needs or aspirations of human beings beyond our tendency to consume.

Marx described commodity fetish as the imaginary of capital being more alive, having greater agency, and requiring more deference than the worker who produces it
For people who deny Al personhood for any Al model at any point in the future, you're going to need better arguments than this. There are arguments out there, but once agents can solve Navier-Stokes, write music and poetry, and provide people with seemingly fulfilling life advice, this kind of line is just not going to be persuasive. "YOU'RE CRAZY" no longer lands.

Thinking Al might be conscious is like thinking that there are real people talking to you from inside the
TV, or that there is a tiny band playing music inside the radio....

I went to a bar with a friend from work and asked where the bathroom was and the bartender offered to show me and then locked me in the bathroom with him and kissed me and felt me up and wouldn't take no for an answer. I finally got him out and now I've locked myself in here. I don't know what to do. I need to leave but I have drinks on my tab. I think I need to just bolt

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.
