One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

BREAKING 📣 For several days, a peaceful protest took place in the morning, after a young child was killed by a car driver. The child was riding his bike to school, the father with him. The grieving community came together with hundreds of people, cyclist or not, creating a 3km long human bike lane.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Screenshot of a search result woth a photo of a basket of what I think are hazelnuts and the text "the 21st of Sept is devil's nutting day. It was traditionally the day during autumn but harvesting season that you did not want to go nutting, aka nut picking, because the devil would be out in the woods doing the same that day."

Hi D,

I came across your background and wanted to reach out about a Senior Technical Program Manager opportunity at DraftKings.

This role sits within our Sportsbook Trading space and focuses on leading complex data initiatives across Engineering, Analytics, Trading, and Data. We’re looking for someone with strong technical/data experience who enjoys driving cross-functional programs and working with tools like Snowflake, Databricks, and SQL.

Would you be open to a quick conversation to learn more?

Best,
EricaHi Erica,

Thanks for reaching out. Sports betting a moral stain on our country that is destroying lives and marriages and is directly linked to increases in domestic violence and harassment of female athletes. You should consider finding a new job and certainly consider me a hard no on this.

Kind regards,

Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words
"Free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, "I don't take sides."

This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.
