My Post headline Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11 The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.

lmao

ai trump just dumped a bucket of SHIT on my head!!! He had better pay for my dry cleaning!!! 😡

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right

I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

A handful of users abused the system so all are getting punished. This isn't about a few high-usage users. The reality is that approximately 22.5% of our users are consuming 20x what they're currently paying us. This isn't sustainable for us to continue delivering the quality service you expect. We have built some very powerful tools and we don’t want to impose artificial limits on what’s possible, but we do need to be able to charge in proportion to the use customers are getting from our platform. Developers are always going to push their tools to their limits, and we encourage that — and we need to be able to charge for it appropriately, too.

You only care about professional developers. Our core focus is on building the best AI coding agent for professional software engineers and their teams. If people outside of that group are finding value with Augment, they are very welcome to use the product, but we’re not prioritizing features or solutions that non-developers might need, and frankly, there are plenty of vibe coding/low code/no code solutions available on the market that will better serve those customers. You are just squeezing money out of us at 20x margin. 20x margin sounds great, but isn’t the reality for AI tools: the vast majority are running at a loss, including us, while we work to build sustainable, long-term businesses.

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss.

Trying to take courage from Bolsonaro's sentencing today. Nothing is inevitable, and fighting for the right thing always matters.

I’m perfectly dry; what do I need this umbrella for?

A screen shot of the Google AI summary references in the post, stating (incorrectly) that San Juan Island is not further north than Maine.

Google’s AI summary told me just the other day that San Juan Island is not farther north than Maine, because Maine is further east. 🫡 🗺️ 💯

(It’s wrong.)

Nothing made slavery’s toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper South, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. 129 With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers “learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter.” The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the “goodlooking” daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter, “every private in the ranks” cursed “that system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women,” according to one member of the regiment. 130 When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, “By G–d I’ll fight till hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on.” 131

Hey could we stop doing literal RoboCop shit for five minutes

Please avoid praising NY shooter Shane D. Temura for killing a Blackstone CEO and two cops. Thank you.

“the party being led by jeffrey epsteins best friend wants to repeatedly examine your childs genitals” is a true statement

Six days later, Castillo said, he was handcuffed and left outdoors in the sun as a punishment for attempting to go on a hunger strike inside the detention center, he said in a phone interview. As mosquitoes swarmed him, Castillo pleaded with guards to bring him inside, he said. He was kept outside for nearly three hours. There are fights between detainees over scarce amounts of food, and COVID-19 cases have spread inside one of the cells, Castillo said.

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files.

Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:

this is the best single-image encapsulation of how modern conservatism works

Miyamoto enjoys rearranging furniture in his house, even late at night.[3] He also stated that he has a hobby of guessing the dimensions of objects, then checking to see if he was correct, and reportedly carries a measuring tape with him everywhere

great stuff in the personal life section of Shigeru Miyamoto (designer of Mario, Legend of Zelda, etc)

No Democrat who does this has any right to tell leftists to back the Democratic nominee for president no matter who it is. "Vote blue no matter who" has to go both ways.

The Trial of Ayla King Ayla King was scheduled to be the first of the Stop Cop City defendants absurdly charged with violating the RICO Act to go to trial.

Today, Ayla King was supposed to become the first of the #StopCopCity RICO defendants to face trial.

Instead, the judge declared a mistrial and sent Ayla back into the appeals process.

The interminable judicial persecution of the RICO defendants is an intentional state strategy.

Apparently, Texas authorities in the area where the horrific floods occurred just spent about 25 minutes of their most recent press conference patting themselves and Trump admin the back - while families desperately waited for new info.

Even the god-fearing users of this Aggies forum are PISSED.

fucking lmao

hell yeah i can't wait till tomorrow so i can post my annual reminder that the American revolution was a counterrevolution waged by rich slavers so that they could expand their genocide further west, for which they lied to the white working class about "liberty."

interesting

It won't but this should end anyone ever falling for the "Republicans are the party of the working class" schtick ever again.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The bill has passed.

Republicans are going to push insane lies. Talk to people about what this legislation does. Post. Be a nuisance. Don't let the lies dominate. We will make sure this vote sticks to their foreheads, is all anyone sees of them, the cruelty and evil they're drenched in.
