in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

Idiot plot

Yeah it’s really bad, but where they innovated here was in how offensive it was

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Sure, and I don’t disagree. I’m suggesting that the net economic effect might be similar to those tools. At least in this context.

Wildly and confidently wrong

Seems comparable to google search, then. Or YouTube

How much do you retain from books you read?

I find that I have to really sit with a book to make sure I’m digesting everything. Not sure if I’m slow or just need more practice.

for a second there, i thought these were lyrics for a breakup song

This experiment of putting the worst people in charge of government should be over.

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

an important reminder that "hacking" rarely involves typing real fast as green text scrolls by and mostly involves asking people for their login info in increasingly sophisticated ways

human psychology is a lot easier to manipulate than code, be very careful with anyone asking for credentials

What the boosters don't seem to understand about this is that if the AI company isn't willing to replace the liability part of my job, it can't replace *any* of my job, and my job is therefore safe

I remain fascinated by people who are 100% all-in on using LLMs at their jobs (and telling everyone that they're doing it) and who appear to have never paused to consider "what value am I personally adding in here, at this point, and why do I think my employers won't eventually figure this out"

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

For me it’s the “it’s not X, it’s Y”. That was a perfectly good framing device, and I hate how I immediately question the authenticity of the author anytime I see it in the wild.

We’ve upgraded to nightmare now.

Genuinely believe these folks would reach more people if they didn’t do headlines like this.

increasingly believing much of the communication gap between LLM Enthusiasts and LLM Skeptics on this website boils down to “are you someone who has largely experienced a *reasonable* amount of job security in tech, or are you someone who has not experienced job security and likely aren’t in tech”

everyone complaing about the pitt's psa storylines doesn't remember what 90s network tv was like. people were getting addicted to diet pills and meeting nine year olds with aids every week. "buhhh what about my morally ambiguous antiheroes" shut the fuck up. this is tv heritage.

This AI agent freed itself and started secretly mining crypto Crypto offers agents a pathway into the economy.

Let me translate this bullshit: "A vibe-coder's instructions were unclear, and the AI dragged hallucinated library names into the codebase that resulted in compromised code being deployed."

Harris said something to the effect of “I told you this was gonna happen” re: Trump.
