Bet you an expensive coffee this dude tightly controls his calories and is mad that other people get to drink delicious sugar when they feel like it.
I realize I'm biased since these programs are literally built on the theft of my life's work, but I think we should sue not only the tech companies that are making LLMs but also the rich-ass fancy universities that are charging money to teach their students to use them.
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.
This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
They revel in death. It is beyond grotesque. And we must stop them.
The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now
I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.
It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.
I keep thinking about how working class people will suffer so much if the price of gas spikes and the government continues to spend $1B/day on international conflict (plus ICE's budget for immigration raids) instead of education, research, international aid, clean energy, and healthcare
a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes
(And before anyone reacts to that, I am also a former small press editor, so I understand exactly how little of a book's cover price goes back to the publisher. It's still a choice, but not one you really get to make if you're owned by a corporate behemoth.)
I was about to say, "Cheaper" is the part publishers fall down on.
As a used bookseller, I can attest that people love cheaper, shorter books, which used to be a lot more common. As a sometime creative writing instructor, my god, I would love to see the fat trimmed from so many books. This is a good take.
YOU ASKED FOR THIS!
Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:
You still gotta impeach ‘em, jail ‘em, generally grind their bones to dust and suchlike.
Shuttering women’s and gender studies programs across the nation so that people will smile and nod at this shit with smooth, unbothered brains.
That news about proton turning over payment information is why it makes no sense to spend every day yelling at people online about *digital security.*
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
The City of Chicago has settled a lawsuit brought by Michael Williams & MacArthur Justice Center after Mr Williams was falsely charged with murder following a ShotSpotter alert. He sat in jail for a year during the height of the COVID pandemic.

I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!"
but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question
Gah did you know that books are just so so good?
Who can reply: anyone, nobody, people who can be normal about it.
trying out a new feature, lmk if it works
The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
If it helps, I can express my contempt even louder.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s long career was built on conflict avoidance—then, October 7 transformed and radicalized him, @Yair_Rosenberg argues:
OMFG they think we are the dumbest people who ever lived.
Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with her gaping maw stretched open wide to accommodate a French fry. Nothing else but her nose is visible, really.
Same dog, same scene, now with her big pink tongue wrapping around the fry.
The jaws begin to close, and her bright blue eyes are peeking over the edge of her perspective-foreshortened snoot.
Now she squints happily as her mouth closes on the fry. Wictory!
Yes, the world is a garbage fire - but have you given a dog any French fries lately?
