its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

goodhart as epistemologist what did that "law" really say?

On the topic only of Goodhart's Law, My friend Mike Hoye linked this @dsquareddigest.bsky.social post very recently, and it's made me question what i think about measures as targets: backofmind.substack.com/p/goodhart-a...

My feelings on AI are a lot like that tweet (or article? I dunno) from almost a decade ago: “I don’t know how to explain to you that you should care about other people.”

I don’t know how to explain, to people who don’t already grasp it, that nothing is worth doing if it isn’t done by humans.

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.

If Buck Martinez is not added to the #BlueJays' Level of Excellence, I'll climb up there and paint it on myself.

Hey, everyone. I have some exciting news. I’ll be providing coverage of the Blue Jays farm system over the course of the season in the Toronto Star. Next to playing CF and hitting leadoff for the Jays, this is a dream come true. First piece will be in late March. Stay tuned….

The War on Cars LIVE presented by Cycle Toronto | Hot Docs Doug Gordon and Sarah Goodyear bring The War on Cars live to Toronto for a conversation about cities, transportation, and their new book, Life After Cars.

Trump and Ford agree on basically everything except tariffs on Canada. Remember Ford said he was a big fan of Trump the first time he was running for election.

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

On @keeganmatheson.bsky.social:

"Keegan Matheson has a beard. Let’s start there. Matheson is MLB.com’s Blue Jays beat writer and he has a beard. It’s a big, glorious, pointy beard, and it’s attached to his face and everything."

@davyandrewsdavy.bsky.social follows through!

@ryannorth.ca does this mean birds can't fly either

the threat of 30-50 feral goldfish finally justify having deadly weapons

My father in law goes on and on about all the benefits the Maltese government gives citizens, but it remains mysterious to me how they can afford them. Surely the golden passports don't generate *that* much revenue?

The Jays' outlook looks, uh, *different* 2 months later.

hiiiii

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

MASHLEY ADDISON!

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

Honestly I still can't even get over this. AI slop entirely made up baseball rules, including "how many times the ball bounces" insanity, ignoring the correct answers on the same page.

LLMs fabricate completely, utterly wrong and made up baseball rules: sure, why not use it for important things too???

LLMs are bad at *everything.*
