Hahaha yeah it's great

"The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic" is not how I'd categorize them but you do you, prez

Trump orders US agencies to stop use of Anthropic technology amid dispute over ethics of AI Hours after exclusion of Anthropic, OpenAI announces fresh Pentagon deal, but says it will maintain same safety guardrails at the heart of the dispute

So what's this going to be called thousands of years into the future? The Hegsethian Jihad?

I thought it got bought by a crypto bro and turned into a kiosk

(Beer Temple, Delilah's and Hopleaf)

Chicago is very very cool for having not one, not two, but 3 of the bars I would put in the "world class beer bar pantheon" I would recommend anyone visit, alongside places like Kulminator, Moeder lambic, Churchkey, Monk's cafe, Novare Res, the much-missed Toronado, etc...

Other side of town for me but yeah, when the urge for a more European flair strikes, you bet

"he sold a lot of those laahptaps"

Today's NYT strands made me think of @lookitup.baby

The thousands of "I built this app from the ground up (on vibes)" stories suggest there are many ideas, executed, well, not fully intelligently.

I (thankfully) only had to hand over £3k-odd per annum, but felt I didn't get SHIT for what I did, and I had "in-person".

What it meant was 8h contact time for 20 weeks a year and a library card. Bullshit.

I hate the fact that AI and Dunning-Kruger combined has resulted in the "I'm more of an ideas guy" personality being empowered

Aw shit that last-minute power play goal. Well played, Canada

The best timeline

Is the Gianni/Johnny he turns to who I think it is?

I just watched a Chicago driver stop, not at a stop sign, not at the lights, but because a rat was running across the street.

Hell yeah Chicago at 1am

I would have assumed crampons, spare bindings, etc?

Menu with pizza options at Side Street Saloon, saying "Chicago style thin crust"

Hell yes, Side Street Saloon standing firm against "tavern style" though what they are is a tavern and what they make would be called that by many. But it's just Chicago style thin crust.

I was actually kind of thinking that it would be FASCINATING to read an article about how adult performers protect their identities and personal security given, uh, men

Assuming "true AI" why would we need new devices when any old thing you can talk to would be the star trek computer. Finally a use for the 6 phones in my cupboard collecting dust

I assume "Steve" in this case means white dudes like me

... Damn airplane. One of these Steves stole my charger while I was not looking out there. This is not a good plane, I don't feel good, I don't trust it."

Odds on us having to turn back to the gate, assuming we do push off?

Addendum to my Spirit flight log from the other night. I'm successfully on board a very delayed airplane at EWR. They've done the schpiel from the cockpit. We're all strapped in.

FA is doing their walk to check we are. Passenger 2 rows ahead of me: "I don't trust none of these Steves on this...

A glass with perfect lacing

Oh I forgot. They also have immaculately clean glasses.

There's a horrible subset of the internet that watch some videos that make them call this kind of beer "an absolute creamer" but I have no idea what substances they've consumed to make them feel that way

Look at this fucking Guinness. Marvel at its goodness. Imagine being served it and having the Tipperary brogue of "would there be anything else, sir?" accompany it.

Slainte, DB Cooper's NYC. You know where to get them.

To the British couple ordering 2 lagers at Augur's Well in NYC: the reason you got a stack of $1 notes as change from your $20 was so you could leave a few of them as a tip, not comment on the number and stuff them all into your wallet.

I survived. Now to get my ass to Manhattan.

Would I do this again?

I'll have to, for the way back.

Fin.

Knees, meet back of seat

My god my knees are taking a whacking with the kid sat in the seat in front of mine

Thank you. We will see if I succumb
