GETTY IMAGES

Norwegian ski jumpers have said their sport does not need "that kind of attention" after it was reported that male athletes were injecting their penises in a bid to improve sporting performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina.

The WHO guidelines recommended that I'm not allowed screen time for two years, and I think I'm just acting out

I want Rachael to win, but if she goes out I hope Faraaz cracks the case

The suspense, the chests of chance. I hope Rachael stays in as the drama will be delicious when they turn on each other. Also, she has played the best game so far.

Sure wheat is great but have you considered how satisfying it will be to find wheat amongst a huge and overwhelming volume of chaff generated at extreme environmental cost?

The idea that people in the global south are going to remote into humanoid robots to be servants, sounds like the background plot of a sci-fi plot that ends in global revolution and civil war

From what i can gather I think it's about travelling, and returning home to have a barbecue and drink white wine.

I think that the American muscle car approach of chasing AGI with more compute, and synthetic data is doomed. The industry needs to pivot towards an efficiency driven with smaller more specialized models, a lot of cursor's could be done on device and only call the server for complex cases

Under that model then all culture becomes highly vulnerable to censorship via the platforms? Protection of Freedom of expression then would require democratic control or open sourcing of the content recommendation algorithms?

Do you believe someone will be able to make a living when people cannot find their work because there are thousands of slightly worse knock offs that are produced for almost zero cost gumming up the search results?

Yes, not strictly true, artists need money to live, & copyright is the mechanism by which they get it & a lot of suits on their backs too. We could have Arts councils & grants instead, that requires higher taxation & a bureaucracy to administer it instead, so more state intervention & higher taxes

Those are consumerist, and based on tangible physical needs. How does intellectualism, art or democracy work in that case, cultural is intangible and cultural workers need to be able to pay for food, shelter and clothing too

If you can't sell creative works, without them being digested and regurgitated, then how do people make enough of a living for new creative works get made?

Environmental concerns aside (which are grave and awful) it's a speed up if you use it as as a tool.
You don't need to ask it to decide things, you can just make it do your typing for you. It works best when you do the architecture, it does the syntax

Before Parenthood, I used to think "Baby shoes, never worn" was some sort of tragic elegy with implications of loss. Now two months later, I realise that it is just about the over ambition of expecting a child. Why would you put shoes on a baby? they can't walk.

Stop Building AI Tools Backwards | Hazel Weakly Iโ€™ve been reading this week about how humans learn, and effective ways of transferring knowledge. In addition, Iโ€™ve also had AI in the back of my mind, and...

I've made it 3 paragraphs in and already need a neck brace from involuntarily violent head nodding syndrome. I'm in vehement agreement and already have expanded my perspective too.

Anyone know a good central valley chiropractor?

Oh yeah, and read the actual post from @hazelweakly.me

Just do it.

I haven't seen it yet it all. Just a hollow simulacrum, for technical writing it's helpful but nothing creative of the worth of even a poor human writer. I think that the people who are working on tuning the model know what good programming is, I don't think the same can be said for literature
