If I can make the most advanced frontier model available trip over its own feet in two questions, what will the coworker who's just trying to get a project off of their plate manage to shake out of the Confabulation Engine?

Schumer: ball’s in your court

Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain

Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls

Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families

Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

Old tweet from @shelfcomedy: me: god, why must you give me your hardest battles god: i don't. you are my weakest soldier and these battles are so easy. it's an email why are you crying

The morning so far

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

Tell them it will find your dog.

If you liked that Ring commercial finding the doggo:

Now imagine instead of “Milo match” it says your name on a cop’s screen when you walk by.

All of these ai commercials are so desperate.

It’ll be like your digital servant wife! If someone doesn’t like ai, they’re paranoid! Please use ai for everything because no one likes it and the money’s running out.

Yes! I was just discussing this with my autistic daughter recently: small talk is making friendly noises to humans.

We autistic people tend to get caught up in the content (do I answer honestly to “how are you doing?” etc.) and feel pressure—and viewing it instead as a script to be performed helps.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

This seems small given, well, everything. But discontinuing it is such a silly self-inflicted wound.

sometimes it really sucks being trans *and* a statistician. with some notable exceptions the scientific evidence base for most things about our lives is really thin, and you end up being the person who everyone hates because you just keep saying "these data don't tell us much" over and over 😔

I’m no Eminem, but respectfully submit:
Like “every heterosex” he seldom introspects on his flagging intellect. Instead he’s got his eye on those juicy pedo checks

thinking about the dems' plan to fully fund ice on condition they stop doing already-illegal crimes

guardrails are a scam...

as I said before: AI & any concept relating to it like so-called guardrails are a scam in the deepest sense like a perpetual motion machine or a ouija board — and not only a scam like a pyramid scheme which is a possible way to make money if you are first in first out

Ignore the wallet inspection doomers.

Toni Morrison Is Not in the Epstein Files Let's talk about the serious intellectuals, the ones not on the Lolita Express, the ones who could spell.

Here's to all the intellectuals not in the Epstein files. They're the ones the Epstein class feared. They're the ones who could spell.

While it may explain some of the context, this framing also hides that women scientists didn't cozy up to epstein the way men did. They also need funding, no? This is also about being part of a powerful boys club where one can act in despicable ways with impunity. Misogyny is a huge driving factor.

More of this, please.

You know who else doesn’t “tell the full story”? Liars who lie about things to hide their culpability.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests

- nazgul bodycams

- shelob will be the new point of contact

Reform doesn't work, but if you're going to have a serious attempt at reform, the Miller quotas are the obvious place to target. A bunch of ICE agents are scrambling around to meet the 3,000 daily arrests number under threat of being fired. Dems not including this proves it's an absolute joke.

Oh, nothing. Just taking my annual government ethics training course.

gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum
