The US has, in slightly over a year, torched what was once one of the best repositories of legal talent (the DOJ) in favor of...uh...total hacks now struggling under an impossible workload made all the more impossible by an administration that is acting without even the faintest color of law.
You are not sorry for the deaths.
This is true not because AI is intelligent but because every sentient human on earth would say "you sure about that, chief?" in that situation so there is a LOT of training data on that topic :)
i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
Yes. Anthropic has made $5bn in its entire existence up until March. It also spent $10bn on compute. It's raised $60bn (with $30bn of that arriving Feb 12), which suggests other costs - or prepayments/deposits for compute are brutal
Not to give Renfer any benefit of doubt but an industry has spent a kajillion dollars to cajole and force LLMs into every conceivable industry and workplace, and institutions like courts and bar associations and law schools need to draw a hard line immediately against this shit
Boy I sure am glad we don't have a bunch of military bases in the Persian Gulf that rely on ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz for resupply.
The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.
The reviews searched over 12,000 references. They screened 547 full-text papers for inclusion. They included 17. That's a 96.9% exclusion rate at full text. 530 studies were relevant enough to survive initial screening, then rejected by the review criteria. 6/10 reviews found 0 included studies.
If you want to beat them, figure out how to organize a bloc of economic actors whose material interests are served by the transition. Organize a bloc with *more power* and then *defeat* them. That's how this works. You're not going to fucking seduce them with your clever verbiage!

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"
The money is for The University (which consists of a letterhead, an investment fund, and administrators to care for and tend the investment fund).
You do NOT want to go in there :)
After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”
And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.
One of the biggest problems with LLMs is they completely remove sourcing. Evaluating the source of information (or code, for that matter) is a critical part of being a human in society, and LLMs just remove that as a possibility.
All lies can now be laundered, with no trail.
Do journalism schools not have "how to ask liars questions" courses?
I know, talking sincerely about Constitutional Law is pointless these days, but: a strong argument can be made that the President has no power to pardon anyone for illegal acts connected in any way to his own administration because such a pardon would violate the Take Care clause.
something incredible about elon's baby minions wearing their squeaky clean white sneakers to invade private property
1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work.
It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science.

My analogous realisation was that the university admin think that the purpose of teaching is to attract tuition fees and the purpose of research is to attract grants.
Back when I was involved in CAPS & PDF organizing it occurred to me that the university I was at at the time viewed PDFs, students, faculty, staff etc as irritants that leadership magnanimously supported out of "their" budgets, and they'd prefer if we all vanished so they could administer in peace.
Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.
women in science know epstein & co stuff has been brewing for ages with explicit direct experience (basically all of us) & just other related hard facts, I mean... publishing was under the same capture and is also highly abusive to women as well as everybody www.theguardian.com/science/2017...

Like bears and raccoons and wolves, their distribution makes more sense if you think of them radiating downwards from the Arctic rather than in terms of continents.
When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project
Liking your local representative and liking the national party are different things.
I just find it interesting how even folks who consider ourselves leftists will bend over backwards to find reasons to excuse or justify evil behavior by white men, be it for Zionism or imperialism or bigotry. We say they're compromised, being blackmailed, being coerced by someone else.
Learned from Prof Louise Archer’s Presentation that there’s an excellent sociological phrase for the new male “traditional” backlash against women & EDI. It’s called patriarchal melancholia. What Freud would describe as a narcissistic wound or injury.
