I’m still super pissed at Biden for inoculating us to this. He paved the way for presidential denial

I guess more to the point: the LLM isn’t malicious. The LLM only understands words like “suicide” and “genius” and “subatomic particles” as weights in a system that assigns probabilities in relation to other words. LLMs are parrots. They can be v v dangerous, but they are always replying to prompts.
*best French toast ever, brunch in general good but they’re known for the toast oh my god
Le Pichet in pike place market, Geraldine’s counter is a block from me in Columbia City with best brunch ever if ya wanna grab a bite! Most neighborhoods will have at least one good breakfast place or coffee shop with good food, it’s breakfast and papers kinda town. DM me for targeted options!
I haven’t checked, but pretty curious how the never-Trumper Bulwark neolib bunch are going to handle this, since they were defending W as late as last year. Can’t be anti-ICE pundit now without reckoning with how and why it started imo
To be fair, he could be the most competent guy who’s dumb enough to take this kamikaze job
I thought this is where they were going, like only ONE (1) AVERAGE-SIZED HIGH SCHOOL worth of people could get us out of this mess?
How did these men know to stay away from Epstein? One googled him, one asked his mom for advice, and one actually listened to what Epstein said to him and quickly realized he was a witless misogynist.
It wasn't that hard, and every scientist who claims they didn't know is either lying or stupid.
I think people are still processing esp us 9/11 OGs. Things have been mostly kayfabe for so long (stress on mostly) and this is so big and so real.
On neighborhood bingo night we usually talk some politics, last night none. Everyone was more present than usual too. It felt like we needed an oasis
From the article: Brooks, Alary and Millar are all men in their 50s. Of the women involved in the group, many are there seeking help for a man in their life. One member, a 30-year-old woman from Kitchener, sought out the group after her husband became convinced that he was a visionary quantum physicist chosen by God, had a psychotic break and left her. In that sense, AI is like a funhouse mirror, reflecting elements of a user’s nature back to them before using it to twist their minds. Feeling lonely, underappreciated or desperate for recognition? You may be the perfect mark.
There’s a reason it’s mostly men is all I’m sayin’
This is the best story on AI delusion yet but I can’t help but feel this is a mental health/social issue as much as tech. Where is the part of their brain that says, “hold on before I decide I’m a world-historic genius maybe I should run this by someone else?”
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
It’s also very obvious in the way they’re willing to throw trans people and reproductive rights under the bus “so we can win”
lol Bill Clinton testified under oath that he’s only sent 2 emails in his life: to John Glenn in space, and to a naval ship in the Adriatic during the war in Kosovo
Watching Clinton’s deposition I thought “wow he’s an old man” and then remembered that he was elected president when I was in 4th grade and he’s still younger and sharper than our current president
Yeah and everyone had to do military service before college or something… I def remember it in late 90s early aughts when people were going on birthright trips
Hyper vigilance is a common trauma response! The live blogs hook into that so unhealthily
The Custom Oregon Plate CRYING was previously assigned, but is now available for reservation. https://dmv2u.oregon.gov/eServices/?link=custom #Oregon #LicensePlate #VanityPlate #OregonPlates #CustomPlate #CRYING
Mario Kart also works for this! (Rec from my therapist during active PTSD)
AOC’s forceful statement condemning US strikes on Iran and calling them unlawful.
Schumer’s milquetoast statement on the strikes in Iran, not forcefully condemning them on merits, as kind of whining about how the pres didn’t come to Congress to make the case first. Pathetic.
A tale of two statements
“Oh no is that Ruth’s Chris? Quick let’s duck into this shop before he sees us”
Huh well he’s clearly failed at his job then and should step down from speakership
Does Ruth’s Chris factor in somehow?
They’re really the same… I just keep coming back to the ocean of horror most of us would feel if we discovered we’d been blithely showing off a hate tattoo for 20 years, and how he’s not shown even a teaspoon of that
It’s a lack of accountability, too. The symbol is unambiguously associated with the SS and the harm it’s caused is undeniable. Even if we grant him EVERY benefit of the doubt wrt intent (and I don’t), his refusal to apologize or display any regret or shame is a present-day moral choice.
It’s so ridiculous to watch all these powerful men use the Idiot Defense. “I’m sorry, I’m just incredibly dumb and unobservant! Is being a sucker a crime? When you think about it, I’m the real victim here for failing to notice anything going on around me”
GUS all the way
It’s such an insane stance, “Yeah I knew it looked like a hate symbol but I proudly wore it for 18 years! At the beach! At a wedding! Would I have done that if I knew?” Like maybe, I don’t know you! But surely now you feel retrospective *something* for all those topless moments? It shouldn’t be hard
They’re absolutely ecstatic about the anti-fluoride campaign
