Recently read Station 11 and found it unrealistic. May have to reassess that view.

It's hard to tell which is weirder: the fact that these guys seriously suggest that models like Claude have consciousness/sentience or that they actually invest time and money (weird!) trying to convince the Pope as well as theologians and legal scholars of this belief.

The City allegations look a lot like what the Clippers did with Leonard except like 500x worse. Seems like a mandatory point reduction of like 25 every year for 5 years is a starting point. Keep them out of the UCL at a minimum.

inside soccer here but the claims of the Taka AI camera are vastly overstated. i'm starting to suspect that their "AI" is just a team of underpaid, overworked folks somewhere offshore that manually tag plays & players b/c so far it's shown jack squat

This sport cannot be saved. It is irredeemable. The owners are so cheap they won’t invest in grass fields, turning this type of injury into a season ending one. On top of the brain injuries that are miraculously “cleared”

BTW, this is just pure tin-pot dictator shit. There’s no nuance here, no 4D chess. This is purely the stuff of rogue nations that are threatening to become terrorist states.

in terms of invasion potential, Moscow has not had a legitimate enemy to worry about since 1945; meanwhile, since 1945 Moscow has invaded many of its neighbors and wrought Gaza-level destruction

Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it.
With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.

if you doubt a ruling class could possibly be this world historically wrong I'll note that "We have nothing to fear on the part of the Negroes; they are tranquil and obedient” and “We sleep with doors and windows wide open. Freedom for Negroes is a chimera” are quotes of a slaveowner in 1790, Haiti

Driving me crazy that a lot of very smart people aren't entertaining the idea that the **AI might kill us all** narrative is kabuki theater -- orchestrated by some of the world's richest people, whose net worth is tied up in people believing their technology is just on the cusp of super intelligence

the draw to Fulham really encapsulates Liverpool's challenges: good in possession but slowed down the offense, Fulham drops 9-10 to defend, can't beat the low block, and the counterattacks just couldn't connect well enough to create easier chances. we're a long way off where we need to be

Fun fact: in our polling of battleground states, about 60% of voters said it is a “top” or “high” priority for Congress to investigate and hold Musk accountable. Lean into it Dems. He’s a cartoon villain - treat him like one.

At some point you just have to conclude that Van de Ven is a dirty player. That foul on Wissa is his bread and butter: late, violent, risks injury.
