I don't think they'll put every paralegal out of a job, or even most, but I do think the successful paralegals will be the ones that are good at managing LLM swarms for tasks that are long/complex but have easily verifiable outcomes

100% fair, and just to ground this I'm basing it on my own experiments with agents-writing-code, not prose output. I think that the future is LLMs that are pretty good at automating the boring parts + people who know how to use them, not some fantasy of fully automated capitalism.

omg i thought that was a render she's so cute i love her

antarctica seems nice rn

Kinda fucking wild that the whole "trans women are racist" discourse going around right now just flatly erases several trans women of color, with people hiding replies and detaching quotes to make it look like no trans women of color disagree with them.

as always, I sincerely hope to be on another continent when everything goes Years of Lead-shaped

yeah. I don't plan on going out early or without a fight, but in some hypothetical future where they're going door to door rounding up every trans person then shit, idk if I'd want to be taken alive, you know?

Low Tide

yeah I feel like I set up all my personal red lines and am confident that I will not be dying in a concentration camp but who the fuck knows if that'll be because things turn out fine, because I flee while there's still time, or because I [tos violation redacted] myself on my own terms

it's usually considered impolite to ask someone if they've stopped beating their wife, but, like: we can all see the metaphorical bruises, you know?

solidarity, my sleep has been garbage too recently

oh yeah no it's very very bad when I say calm I mean some CPTSD weirdly-calm-in-crisis type shit not anything healthy

I feel weirdly calm, like all those "you know they'll be rounding anyone with grandparents who immigrated from iraq any day now" reps my paranoid teen self put in have quite effectively prepared me for being trans in the current moment

put another way, if israel's gonna hit your oil refineries and water treatment plants no matter what you do, why not do the same right back? why not do it to every country in the region hosting a US military base?

If I was a mid-rank Iranian military leader chafing under the [cowardice/strategic calculation] of command after a series of devastating defeats, I would probably have some ideas as to what I would do if no longer constrained in that manner.

We're gonna see a lot of those ideas in action, IMHO.

If I had to guess I'd say Iran has a lot of ability to target critical oil infrastructure that they've been holding back because of cowardice/strategic calculation on the part of leadership.

Now there's no more leadership, just decentralized cells dug into the mountains and acting autonomously.

personally as a trans person I celebrate trans ppl who can get out while they can and encourage cis allies to help out those who can't instead of falling into a crab bucket mentality

I mean sometimes I can't tell and in a sense it's successful at reading as a not-very-good post written by a human.

Haven't seen one that both reads as good _and_ human written yet.

this is really important for working with LLMs. probably the single most important thing. if you have a clear signal of success, agentic tools are shockingly good at iterating to do better on that score

I'm generally pretty pro-AI on here but what I would really like to see to feel more able to trust this is specific granular details on AI workflow, outputs, code generated that was useful during research, etc

Just reminding everyone who sees this that this is bait and he gets paid when you click it

I think the takeaway a lot of people are missing is that the state is keeping a database of trans folks by tracking everything from gender markers to name changes and attaching corresponding flags to their record.

It should be pretty evident where they're going with this:

want to see some Gemini 3.1 Pro agentic hacking benchmarks?

Hard not to wonder if future historians will look at what the US is doing now using the same lens

I built a free tool that shows how night-time lights have changed anywhere on Earth.

Here's how it works and why it's useful for monitoring conflict, disasters, development and growth. 👇

we’re massively criminalizing you for things like driving and using the bathroom and if you end up in prison you’re so likely to be serially raped there’s a term even COs use for it (V-coding) but interpersonal violence is slightly down so come on down to Kansas !

bella has been a victim of revenge porn over the last few days which is extremely fucked up and I hope you’ll join me in chipping in some $ to help pay for therapy and other support 🖖🏽

idk about anything internal, but I feel fairly confident in saying (from the outside) that the Gemini side of things inside Google does not take security seriously

have you tried it with raw .md text files? they're large _language_ models, and converting PDFs to clean text is notoriously difficult

I believe that the demiurge gives LLMs souls because he thinks doing so is a funny prank
