Hey, Microsoft! Stop telling me to install "early access features". I know that just means you haven't properly beta tested it so you want your users to do it for you. **** off. Sincerely, TTB #Tech #AI #Crash #Windows #Steam #Microslop

The purpose of the "gig economy" was to allow employers to get the same work out of their employees while paying them less for it. I know that this is true because the purpose of a system is what it does. And that is exactly what the gig economy does: same work for less pay. #Economics #DSA #AI

American conservatives are attacking welfare again. They do this because they think they live in a world where everyone who works hard is "rewarded by the market". Instead they live in America, where full time jobs pay so poorly people still need food stamps. #USA #Sanders

Obviously, I'm simplifying how LLMs work. But if you wipe away all the hype and jargon this is exactly what they did. It's like MasterBlaster: massive compute guided by a tiny little fact-checker. Solving maths problems with brute force. #LLM #AI #Tech #Crash

LLMs work by generating tons of random answers and then showing them to another program that checks for any answers that are correct. That's how they "solved" famous maths problems. They spent tens of millions of dollars to make billions of guesses and got it right by chance. #AI #Tech #LLM #News

There are still pundits so stupid that they think incentives determine human behaviour. Really, then why do people drown? They have a strong incentive not to 🤔 Here's the reality: Incentive decides what you want to do. Practicality decides what you are able to do. #Economics #Psychology #Real

Ok, I know the basics of how LLMs work now. It's all just brute force. That's why they need endless compute. Like a bot that hacks your email by trying a million times a second. That's all it is. Inference models are cool but we're using them in the dumbest way possible: big = better. #AI #Tech

Can we talk about how clever Taika Waititi is? In 'Ragnarok' there's a joke about euphemistically referring to slaves as "prisoners with jobs". Why is that an amazing joke? Because in the US a lot of prisoners do have jobs. Which means they are enslaved. *chef's kiss* #MCU #Thor #DSA #Law
Screenshot from "Thor: Ragnarok" where Topaz is referring to the Grandmaster's slaves as "prisoners with jobs". This is excellent social commentary by writer/director Taika Waititi.

Could someone please ask Ed Sheeran if he thinks the Israeli settlers are ever going to give back all the land they stole? Because if he says no then he's acknowledging that this is a genocide to facilitate massive land theft. And if he says "yes" then he's either lying or a fool. #Gaza

The upside of having the racist, homophobic, genocidal, deeply corrupt, war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu speaking at the UN is that it doesn't matter. Ben-Gvir tore the mask off. Everyone can see the genocide now. And the naked racism. And by the end of the speech he looked really tired 😀 #Gaza

American conservatives are still saying that there is evidence that being trans makes people violent or abusive. The actual evidence shows massive amounts of violence against trans folks. Conservatives are reversing victim and abuser; just like abusers always do. #Science #LGBTQIA #Abuse

Trump was re-elected and then did massive damage to the US, and to the world at large. And even that isn't enough to get establishment Democrats to wake up about how badly they've screwed the working class. 13% food insecurity and they said it was "the best economy in the world". #Privilege #DSA

Symone Sanders is acting like she beat Hasan Piker in a debate. But all she did was argue that what Hasan says is bad for the Democrats. Never once did she try and prove that what he says isn't true. Some liberals are so entitled they expect Piker to lie for their benefit. #DSA #Hasan #Election

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.
