Yesterday, it came to light the trending story was about how the administration was allowing the cheap sale of horses for slaughter over seas. Today the administration announces they’ve made a deal to import a lot of “beef”to lower prices. Sounds like another grift to me. #horses #beef #usa

Just a friendly remind that the trending topic changes still suck, and you need to bring back the old location that would sometimes have more than the 5 topics found in the explore tab that is still easier to get to than your current trending topics. @support@bsky.app

It's a gripping & harrowing eyewitness account of the first act of nuclear warfare. Read the backstory in my OUR LAND newsletter. link.motherjones.com/public/46861...

Could we get the option to have the trending topics back at the top please where it was convenient easily viewable. This scrolling down and having to click into essentially the explore tab which was already easy to do the old way is a worse user experience. @support@bsky.app

"[I-638] will drive 1000s of girls out of sports because their parents cannot afford the necessary testing or refuse to submit their daughters to genital inspections. That’s a feature, not a bug, of these laws. Preventing girls from playing sports is the whole point." @nohateinwastate.bsky.social

Anti-Trans Legislation Isn't About "Protecting Girls"—It's About Distracting Us From What Matters

Just a reminder that the IRS developed free software that was going to be available in every state this year that a majority of taxpayers could use to file taxes alongside their state returns and the regime axed it. You already paid to develop it and they just buried it to profit corporate America.

ChatGPT is a website. Claude is a website. I will never respect a website. You cannot convince me to treat LLMs as anything different to any other technology. If a website only gets things right sometimes, it's a bad website. I will not be told otherwise. www.wheresyoured.at/i-will-never...

I think the most enlightening thing about Al is that it shows you how even the most mediocre text inspires some sort of emotion. Soulless Linkedin slop makes you feel frustration with a person for their lack of authenticity, but you can still imagine how they forced it out of their heads. You still connect with them, even if it's in a bad way.
Al copy is dead. It is inert. The reason you can spot it is that it sounds hollow. I don't care if a website says stuff on it because I typed in, just like I don't care if it responds in a way that sounds human, because it all feels like nothing to me. I am not here to give a website respect, I will not be impressed by a website, nor will I grant a website any extra credit if it can't do the right thing every time. The computer is meant to work for me. If the computer doesn't do what I want, I change the kind of computer I use. LLMs will always hallucinate, their outputs are not trustworthy as a result, they cannot be deterministic, and any chance of any mistakes of any kind are unforgivable. I don't care how the website made you feel: it's a machine that doesn't always work, and that's not a very good machine.
I feel nothing when I see an LLM's output. Tell me thank you or whatever, I don't care. You're a website. Oh you can spit out code? Amazing. Still a website.

Truly useful technology isn't described in oblique or hyperbolic terms.
For example, last week, IBM's Dave McCann described using a series of
"Al agents" to Business Insider
The agent — it's actually a collection of Al agents and assistants
— scans McCann's calendar for client meetings and drafts a list of 10 things he needs to know for each one. The goal, McCann told Business Insider, was to free up time he and his staff spent preparing for the meetings.
Sounds like a website to me.
The agent reviews in-house data, what IBM and the client are doing in the market, external data, and account details - such as project status and services sold and purchased, McCann said. It can also identify industry trends and client needs by, for example, reviewing a firm's annual report and identifying a corresponding service IBM could provide.
Sounds like a website using an LLM to summarize stuff to me. Why are we making all this effort to talk about what a website does?
Digital Dave also saves McCann's team time, he said, because the three or four staffers who used to spend hours pulling together insights for the prep calls are now free to do other work.
"It's not just about driving efficiencies, but it's really about transforming how work gets done," McCann said.
My friend, this isn't a "series of agents." It's an LLM that looks at stuff and spits out an answer. Chatbots have done this kind of thing forever.
These aren't "agents." "Agents" makes it sound like there's some sort of futuristic autonomous presence rather than a chatbot that's looking at documents using technology that's guaranteed to hallucinate incorrect information.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster

The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion."

The next tweet says: Today is a great day.

Our military is amazing.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position.

The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could.

He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran.

I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking.

The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran!

He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte!

Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.
