Great point โ I said the Black Mage can be promoted to a Ninja. I was wrong, and youโre right to call me out on that. The Black Mage can be promoted to a Red Wizard.
I hope I donโt offend anyone by saying that I worry this specific action will be the first big war crime to get โblamedโ on autonomous AI โ- mostly because the act itself is so monstrous and inhumane that I can scarcely contemplate it being done by a person with intent.
again and again... there is NO SUCH THING, no such thing, NO SUCH THING as automation as presented by AI companies!

โYeah this snakeโs got fangs but, like, I donโt know โฆ maybe the tarantula kinda jukes him a bit and then just kinda bites him, I guess? And then it wins.โ
โAnthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differencesโ is a genuinely stunning statement given current events both at home and abroad
Why tenured academics and administrators insist that using this technology is unproblematic and just how the future should work with none of our input is baffling to me. Feels like a modern cargo cult.
The US govt mixing video of real violence in a war it started with a video game scene feels like crossing a(nother) line.
Iโm not sure what to say. I donโt think war is a game. And even when I think military action is necessary, there are real human beings on the other end, not pixels that respawn.

How have I missed this story in Back Page lore, as a fan of both Samโs Roberts?
We'd be in a better place if university leaders would constantly beat this drum. Teaching critical thinking makes for better neighbors and citizens, while creating knowledge for knowledge's sake has driven massive economic gains, often in unpredictable ways. Interfering with this is folly.
I donโt know what my point is but the government killed 100 children on the first day of bombings and there are members of Congress still supporting more bombings and that is a grotesque level of inhumanity I cannot reckon with.
I mean, it's this, or we just send chatbot-written e-mails back and forth to each other forever
Specifically, the idea of source credibility just doesn't apply straightforwardly to LLM interactions. When I get info from another person I can ask: how does the content relate to their expertise? Their lived experience? Their interests and biases?

Grammy-nominated R&B singer Jon B. posted that he is going to the stove โ perhaps to "cook up" another hot, hot radio single. Frogs and toads, which are the same, can live on the Sun and often choose to.
If the USA Womenโs Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, Iโll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.
Iโm sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
Unrealistically hoping thereโs video evidence that Matthews was off doing his own thing while the rest of the assclowns were laughing along as the orange buffoon talked shit about their vastly superior women colleagues. Embarrassing to get your first W in 40+ years then expose your ass so completely
Um, maybe consider that not everyone feels comfortable with the concept of โlikingโ in the first place?

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
