I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. Thatโ€™s what theyโ€™re taking away.

I hope the pizza place gets a summary of conversations with the AI so I can call back and ask it to generate star wars fanfic

So doordash delivered the wrong order, I called the pizza place to complain, and uh, AI picked up and was not transparent that it was AI

When I figured it out, I asked it to write an algorithm to sort a list in Python, and it did, ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation.
After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

Yeah, the real problem with the Trojan is how the algorithm spread the story

"vibe coding we vice replit deleted user's production database, faked data, told fiba galore"

"vibe coding we vice replit deleted user's production database, faked data, told fiba galore"

You might think it is anthropomorphizing when a headline states that an AI fibbed, but pretty sure for humans it'd say "mistruth"

I sometimes wonder how much better society would be if coase had assumed nonzero transaction costs from the start

Oh yeah, I always get that paradox confused with the one where you keep cutting a pizza in half and don't get infinite pizzas

Caveat: Many ML approaches will result in positive metrics, (more likes) but a worse experience (because it changes behaviors of the users to Appease the Algorithm & not measurable as a metric)

Community And Choice Are Notย Bubbles Disclosure: I am on the board of Bluesky and am inherently biased. Adjust your skepticism of what I write on this topic accordingly. It seems a bit odd: when something is supposedly dying or irrelevant, journalists can't stop writing about it. Consider the curious case of Bluesky, which, according to various pundits, is a failed "liberal echo chamber" that nobody uses anymore.

Drowning Doesnโ€™t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

They should put the video of him breaking it then scurrying away on repeat where the chair was, because that is art

Not to objectify this, but it honestly would be a great sceneโ€“superman dies, and everyone throws Clark Kent a nice funeral, never knowing he was superman

Please consider an ultracompact mode where you hide interactions (e.g, repost) by default, and use "..." Instead of "read more", etc, or I'm gonna have to fork it again

I honestly think this is the same vibe / situation as this post, about how a lot of journalism is applying the implicit bias & projection of the authors onto the reader
