The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

they COULD design their app to make it actually serve the customer, with an easy “reorder” button that would duplicate the order exactly without error it would be: 1. utterly reliable 2. faster 3. cheaper so much “ai” is a sloppy patch for learned helplessness at the corporate level

Lost in the discourse about where Dems are is the fact Republicans know the anti-trans ads aren't helping them but, as Terry here openly admits, hurting trans people is all they have left. They'd use their dying breath to ruin one more trans kid's life.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

OMFG you are not on message if you are talking about trans anything. You need to yell and scream and point at the price of gas every moment of every day. Affordability is all people care about. It is THE issue. Donors should demand their money back because this guy is burning it.

It's a good idea to adjust our funding system for higher education based on the observation that many student loans don't make sense financially to the individual. The correct policy though is to actually fund universities, not punish people for learning important things that aren't lucrative.

I regret to inform you all that Bernie Sanders is in fact taking meetings with noted rationalist wacko Eliezer Yudkowsky over what AI regulations should look like. x.com/SenSanders/s...

Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Will Al become smarter than humans?
If so, is humanity in danger?
I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading Al experts that question.
Here's what they had to say:

To reinforce how rare I should be using LLMs, I always refer to them with coworkers as "the slopper". I accept that they may be a defensible but extremely problematic choice at times. But it's not a colleague, a person or an assistant: it's a slop generator.
