That'll do it, if they've officially used the bogus number to support a valuation. Pity the current SEC won't bat an eye at this.

Is that OpenAI's problem though? It sounds like the bogus figures weren't ones OpenAI stated, but numbers their investors ginned up to try to compare them to Anthropic's, right?

The biggest issue with it is it's radically different from Word. Content and style and formatting are completely separated. Great once you get used to it, hard to transition to.

010

Todd Knarr @tknarr.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Part of that's because styles were grafted on to many word processors including Word as a way to try to automate the formatting users were doing manually. That makes for a nasty experience. I liked Lyx, which describes itself as a "what you see is what you mean" editor.

Plus the registers have more space to deal with groceries and bags, and it used to be they had a bagger so the cashier didn't have to do two jobs at once. You're right, nobody with sense would expect self-checkout to work well for more than a few small items.

Doing it humanely is fairly easy. It's just horribly traumatic for anyone watching, which is why we stopped using those methods. The biggest problem is we can't trust the legal system to care about "Did we get the right person?" and "Did we really prove they did it?" and so on.

After being told a previous sketch with the words "Fuck ICE" was "needlessly hateful". So I felt I should make an apology. Sorry the message wasn't loud enough, clear enough, and didn't include Fuck the Pedo-in-Chief and all his fascist followers. It's not needless hate. It's positive intolerance.

A documented workflow is necessary but not sufficient. You need system documentation good enough to give you an understanding of the system and how it works, and for a non-trivial system that'll be a couple of shelves worth.

Also remember that the workflow includes several hundred exceptions where the documented response doesn't apply, and even Bob doesn't consciously remember all of them until one happens and jogs his memory of having dealt with this before. And of course new problems will always arise.

A frontal view of a Least Bittern (Botaurus exilis) (Ixobrychus exilis) perched on vertical green reeds at the water's edge. The small heron is looking directly at the camera, its brown and white streaked plumage providing camouflage against the dense vegetation. Its long legs and large feet are visible gripping the stalks above the green, reflective water. The setting is a marshy wetland in Marin County, California.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Anyway Judge McMahon's answer is "well if there's a problem, you fucking call me and give your shitty frivolous opinion to my face right then and there."

ORDER CONCERNING FREEMAN'S DEPOSITION
McMahon, J.:
My order requires no clarification. It is perfectly clear. Counsel for Ms. Freeman do not
get to set the rules.
Ms. Freeman will answer EVERY question that is put to her - whether or not the question
was asked previously.
If Ms. Freeman asserts attorney client privilege with respect to a question that was not
previously asked, you are to call my chambers immediately to obtain a ruling. If I have to rule on more than one frivolous attorney client privilege objection, there will be consequences, in the form of sanctions, adverse inferences, referrals to the court's Grievance
Committee with the possible revocation of pro hac vice admission to practice or admission to the Bar of this Court, and the possibility of a civil contempt holding. Please understand — this is not an idle threat. I am tired of this. I do not believe that Ms. Freeman's counsel is acting in good faith and I will not stand for being jerked around - and I am indeed being jerked around — in this
manner by any lawyer who practices before me.
