I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

Nobody will remember: -Your job -How busy you were -How many hours you worked. People will remember: -Fun shark facts you taught them. Here’s my favorite: Greenland sharks, which can live to be over 400 years old, eat (probably scavenging) polar bears and reindeer.

Ok, this "there are two separate brains" thing appears to be making the rounds, and I want to be absolutely clear: this is a press office overhyping some perfectly reasonable science that won't come as a surprise to most developmental biologists.

The best example of this still comes from Pillars of Eternity.

A dialogue box featuring a scarred monk asking, “Are you- Are you real?”

The available options are:

1. “Yes.”
2. [Lie] “No.”
3. [Lie] “Yes.”
4. “No.”
5. “Now that you ask, I’m not so sure.”
6. “There is no way to be certain.”

The VO in the first season of How It’s Made is so quaint. The guy is like, “Who could resist the delicious taste of a cracker? Everyone loves this delectable treat, be they kids, adults, or even sal-teens.” And later they’ll say like, a faucet is a bathroom’s joy.

when wikipedia launched, the idea that an encyclopedia could be reliably maintained by the public was a joke. now, it's a marvel, a remarkable resource, virtually the only website that remotely delivers on its potential and practically the last pleasant browsing experience on the internet.

For some white South Africans who thought they victims of racism, Trump's refugee program seemed like an answer to their prayers. But, in the past few months, dozens of applicants have been rejected, with many left dismayed and confused as to why they would be left to face a “white genocide”

This seems like the right read to me… “fast and exhaustive” does not mean “super intelligent” but it also doesn’t mean “not capable” or “not dangerous,” either. Someone should charge the frontier labs with hacking crimes while the rest of us dust off those P3 security tickets and finally fix them.
