Trump Weighs Getting Involved in New York City Mayor’s Race

Hey @andrewcuomo:

Is it true that you spoke to Donald Trump about clearing the right-wing lane for you? When? What did you promise him in return? New Yorkers deserve to know.

Opinion | Data shows a new remedy for the opioid crisis Counties with easy access to weed have far fewer opioid deaths. That’s not a coincidence.

Soon New Mexico will be the recovery capital of the country...

"making cannabis more available β€” and reducing its cost β€” could induce people to shift from opioids, which are super dangerous, to marijuana, a significantly safer alternative"

OpenAI is in early talks about a potential sale of stock for current and former employees at a valuation of about $500 billion, people briefed on the investment discussions said, marking an enormous gain in value for the artificial intelligence leader.

The company is targeting a secondary stock sale in the billions of dollars, the people said, asking to remain anonymous because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Existing investors including Thrive Capital have approached OpenAI about buying some of the employee shares, the people said.

If the deal goes ahead, it would elevate OpenAI’s on-paper price tag by roughly two-thirds. Its previous valuation stood at $300 billion in a $40 billion financing round led by SoftBank Group Corp. β€” making it one of the largest privately held companies in the world. Representatives for OpenAI and Thrive declined to comment.

LOL, the kicker on this story about OpenAI's $500 billion valuation.

It remains beyond human capability to create an LLM that doesn't constantly bullshit answers, misattributing and fabricating sources. It's inherent to the technology.

One of my favorite things about Louis Pasteur and The Germ Theory is that one of his big clues turned out to be a prion disease only known to CANNIBALS. Like the Frenchman was like waaaaaaaait a minute, CANNIBALS have crossed the line to toxic? Oh lΓ  lΓ !

What We Lost When We Lost the Greatest Generation It's no coincidence that democracy is backsliding in the US exactly eighty years after the end of World War II.

We are losing the last of the generation who understand just how evil actual fascism is, how hard it is to rid the world of authoritarian governments once they’re established, and how hard it is to build a successful alternative. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/what-we-lo...

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the straw boss said, "Well a-bless my soul!"
