Real “how much could a banana cost” energy

This is obviously an objectively good thing but then again “AGI gets access to and uses nukes” is one of the AI “safety” scenarios that these freaks actually care about

Gillian Anderson as the FBI director but it’s not Scully. David Duchovny not involved

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

A chart from the paper showing the data I described in the post

I get that their dataset is very incomplete, but it’s really telling to me that, out of the 144 vacancies that were created by people moving into the Central, they could only find 34 households that occupied the vacated units. I think you can’t just write that off as “it’s probably an undercount”

Oh my god

“Journalism is better when it’s backed by live markets”?????

If working class people have $8/mo to spend on Suno but can’t save up $100 to buy the cheapest version of FL Studio, that reveals a much bigger problem with society than the one Suno is trying to fix

Excerpt from the Suno terms of service: Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Service, if you are a user who has subscribed to the Pro or Premier paid tier of the Service, Suno hereby assigns to you all of its right, title and interest in and to any Output owned by Suno and generated from Submissions made by you through the Service during the term of your paid-tier subscription. However, due to the nature of machine learning, Suno makes no representation or warranty to you that any copyright will vest in any Output. If you are a user of the free or Basic tier of the Service then, you covenant and agree that you will only use Outputs generated from Submissions made by you through the Service solely for your lawful, internal, personal and non-commercial purposes, provided that you give attribution credit to Suno in each case.

With a real DAW you actually might own the material that you produce with it, even if the software is free (or pirated)

Suno’s terms give them all the rights to any outputs generated by free-tier users, and one must pay the $96 annual subscription to get commercial distribution rights

Does this mean they blocked me lol

Needless to say, this is obviously not true

If the cops swarm your workplace looking for criminals, and you’re not a criminal, it’s unreasonable to think that the cops might arrest you anyway.

Listening the new @fivefourpod.bsky.social about INS v Delgado, it really struck me that one reason the court might have concluded that the US citizen plaintiffs couldn’t reasonably have feared arrest is that INS wasn’t there for *them*

Dear god I can’t even imagine how many times `sudo rm -rfv /` is in Claude’s training data

What is the goal for which this is an exhaustive list of choices? Certainly seems like [b] & [d] are not qualitative substitutes for [a] in most situations, and [a] & [d] aren’t equivalent to [b] for a consumer.

Best kept secret

Merry Christmas, New York City 🎄🗽

I think the fact that one vaccinated person got the measles is kind of scary tbh

Every once in a while I try to understand how the federal reserve works and how it’s supposed to affect the broader economy and no one will actually explain the mechanism

Girlfriend’s age?

This is true

i too have seen posts from self-described leftists i do not like on the internet. i am not sure that they govern the democratic party

Yeah, I’m pretty sure Baja California is named so because it’s lower on the north-up map than Alta California, which is now the southwestern US

I can’t work out what the author thinks the modifier “Baja” means

Thanks!

Genuinely wondering: what is the quality of the evidence that covid-19 can trigger the development of autoimmune conditions? That’s another claim I’ve seen, but the studies do seem (to my untrained eye) more reputable

I’ll take it over the M bullet that was just a different size than the other two (the letter, not the circle)

They opened a new escalator right next to this entrance for the E/M platform recently, and it’s much better

One thing that stands out to me about this story and others like it is that no one will give a quote saying “we do not promote settlements in occupied territories, which violate international law”
