Talarico has dodged scandal so effectively they’re still hunting for it but this effort just came off as sad.

Talarico neither institutionalized nor trans and the GOP burned another week in the race.

Aren't these the same people freaking out about the hijab? I was raised in a pretty conservative Catholic diocese and I never saw women covering their heads.

Not to mention a lot of these are games would be multiplayer and once Sony got wind of this they'd start banning devices en masse.

Wish people would really think about the claims they're making. PS5 games run 10 - 100 GB, for you or me to stream one game to randos to play would be pretty expensive, to stream *every single one* would be prohibitively expense!

Not even a year ago Nancy Mace accused her fiance and some other guys of doing pretty much the same thing. Only back then it was a rape and a cover-up.

Annie Andrews is beating Trump's margin by 24%(!) in SC-1, or did they get something wrong?

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 13h

Relative to 2019 it's probably a combination of both. It's also notable a lot of the frustration is with CS grads who until 2023 basically got offers right out of school so long as they had good grades and a decent portfolio.

I feel really bad for people dealing with a shitty entry-level job market, but according to BLS the unemployment rate for college grads aged 20-24 is only 1% higher than it was in 2019, and pretty cyclically rises after May graduation before falling.

Since most workplace application is coding the problem that unless more lines of code written = more revenue generated, productivity hasn't really improved.

Honestly this is a peak hit dog hollering moment. This entire election, whether Talarico wins or loses, has been very revealing.

Let’s say it’s “agent swarm accidentally takes ATC system offline for 2 hours.” What happens to the labs after that?

You're basically seeing a demand crash in hot real estate markets.

I think it's unlikely this happens but it's good they're doing it. On the other hand, if it does happen, what's the argument for allowing the labs to continue in their current form?

The guys very much had a plan here. I have no idea if they can prove in court.

Yeah that’s what peer review is for. And people don’t say they’ve solved problems before peer review.

There’s nothing wrong with OpenAI doing groundbreaking math research, with or without other researchers. But if they really cared about this stuff from an ethical perspective they’d have people around who can catch this stuff before release.

170

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I guess it’s a boring take but we should take these errors as being less indicative of model quality and more indicative of OpenAI ethics. They are desperately trying to get ahead of Anthropic and over promising and underdelivering in the process.

It's also worth nothing this incitement is a lot less coherent than the stuff he posted in 2020 and 2021 desperately trying to create violence (and succeeding on 1/6). Really just a guy whose only impulse is lashing out.

The past couple weeks feel like some kind of moral spiral for him. This is "I'm losing and I hate it"-type posting that has the outside chance of starting a riot in Minneapolis.

Is there anybody above entry-level in tech who isn't making product decisions on some level and/or leading a team? I find it hard to believe there is even on the dev side.

The likely outcome is that most of us will be AI supervisors in some capacity, and this rollout will take a long time given the non-subsidized cost of tokens and maintenance.

I agree and the game also makes it clear that Abby would have been much better off had she not pursued revenge to begin with.

Even funnier because of God of War Ragnarok's clear theme is basically the same thing you - should make peace with your sworn enemies for the sake of your children - but receives far less attention because nobody's argued it's a clear analogy for Zionism.

I don't know the premise you replied to is true but it's very funny how clearly the communicates "two societies driven by an endless cycle of revenge with no hope for reconciliation will destroy each other" and people have been big mad about it ever since.

I think I phrased this wrong - their growth rate seems to have not increased over summer?

010

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

What this implies to me is that OpenAI has barely grown revenues since summer.

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

John McGuire might wanna call his canvassers. Every Harris voting jurisdiction in VA-5 is turning out ahead of Virginia and VA-5 as a whole. The highest turnout locality voted for Sears by less than 0.1% and a lot of McGuire's best localities are sitting at the bottom (oof Bedford and Pittsylvania).

140

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

And remember that the early don't open til the end of October, so the GOP's window to make the early vote as good as 2025 (which is still bad) is closing. They started behind and I don't think they're going to catch up fast enough.

000

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

So the bottom line is that turnout looks less favorable now for Dems but still better than 2025, I think you'd improve Wittman's chances of holding on a little bit relative to last update, but honestly CD-5 hasn't moved much as the fastest turnout growth has been in the wrong places.

111

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Looking at turnout within districts, James City and Williamsburg are still leading CD-1, though the gap between them and everyone else is closing. Fluvanna and Nelson are still leading CD-5, and they're Trump/Spanberger localities. Charlottesville and Albemarle, both blue, aren't far behind.

100

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

By congressional district, we can see that the red districts are starting to have stronger turnout than blue districts (again with the exception of CD-9). This again looks more like 2025, but blue district turnout is still holding up better than this time in 2025.

100

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

As a result, the turnout gap between Harris localities and Trump localities has gone from 0% to 0.5% - as in Trump localities are outvoting Harris localities ever so slightly. This might seem like a problem, a year ago the gap was 2%! So turnout patterns remain even more favorable.

100

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The low turnout localities are still deep red ones in CD-9 with some of the larger blue jurisdictions mixed in there (remember they only have one place to vote right now). I don't expect these areas to drastically better because there's nothing to motivate those voters to get out.

100

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It is encouraging to see Albemarle and Petersburg city up there, because those are some of the bluest localities in Virginia and Albemarle and Charlottesville are important for keeping CD-5 close.

100

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Plenty of familiar localities at the top - James City, Fluvanna, Williamsburg, etc., but the conservative turnout has definitely improved in the past week and change. While the commonwealth overall has seen turnout up by 5%, lots of the overperformers are red localities in competitive districts.

WildPartyInviteDecliner @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Virginia early vote check-in number 2. This morning we hit 448,949, or close to 10% of 2024's total votes. We have a new locality with the highest turnout, Waynesboro city at 23.4% of 2024. Interestingly, this is a Trump/Spanberger locality in CD-6, which isn't competitive this year.

The real fallacy here is the belief that Hamas uses violence as a last resort in a first one. They didn't even believe in the peaceful transfer of their own political power!
