Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.
The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.
Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

Also connect w/business reporters at Chicago papers, WSJ, Bloomberg News.
Although SAP may not be as well known as consumer social media, in the business community this is definitely newsworthy, especially if she is traveling for work.
And that's what it seems to take.

They're all religious fanatics which is why the rest of us should be very, very worried.
They all believe the rest of us are damned.

Wrong on so . . . so many levels.
He doesn't understand that if you don't protect the inherent human rights of even the worst of us, then you have taken those rights away from all of us.
Note: "savages" vs. "peaceable citizens"

The GOP deserves to lose for the next 20 years at least for this one decision alone: abandoning Americans amidst a war a GOP president chose to launch. There will be deaths.
He had complete control over the timeline.
Even the wealthiest and most privileged are just NPCs to these people.

This has been the GOP playbook for years: get us into a war, make a big show to thank the veterans for their service, and then treat them like pariahs for surviving.

Given the inherent problems with LLMs they are headed for a big crash. I think the people who stay away from LLMs are going to come out on top here.
Human intelligence is a scarce resource, and AI stunts human intellectual development, making that scarce resource even scarcer.

I get that this is voter suppression but what Paxton was trying to suppress for the votes for Cornyn. Cornyn was winning Dallas County too.
Occam's Razor says that he was trying to protect his own butt.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Cornyn was winning Dallas County pretty strongly.

I wish I could say I was surprised.
I want the company closed down, and the names of the people who bet on the side of war made public so that we know the sociopaths within our midst.

Exactly. Imagine what Grammerly would have done to the writings of Virginia Woolf, Charles Dickens or Flannery O'Conner.
I get that most Freshman Comp students aren't writing great literature, but how do you find your own voice if you let a tool like this dictate style?

Combining this with the research on cognitive debt amongst coders who start relying too much on AI coding tools gets us to worst-case scenarios quickly.
Especially since AI models lack a limbic system to recoil from cruelty and inhumane war crimes.

This is why I think the long-term advantage will go to those who are thoughtful and deliberate about where and how they use AI — and not to the ones firing their developers because "vibe coding is the future."
