Google is not “the Internet.” Other, higher quality, search engines exist.

Counting the days!!!!

As recently as nine months ago I would’ve laughed off the idea that House Republicans might simply refuse to seat duly elected House Democrats and yet here we are. Hard not to see this as a trial run!

Yes you should take a selfie at No Kings and post it online. Yes you should rsvp so local organizers can tell you about the next one. Yes you should announce in advance you’re going.

You still live in a democracy where it’s safe to do these things. Acting like it is part of how we keep it that way.

Well, that, and 867-5309. We ALL know that one!

In honor of spooky month, share a 4-word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand.

“US-East-1 is down. Again.”

You had a good run!

Marco Rubio whispers into Donald Trump's ear.

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

Trump joke still relevant! Sadly.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

Wait, why is the title different by county?

A 4.6 with an epicentre in Berkeley! Biggest one I’ve felt in some time.

In other news, water is wet, and the sun rises in the East.

Although it IS pretty important for OpenAI to (finally!) say it.

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

He died doing what he loved most, being a smarmy asshole.

If you think that Kirk’s death is going to be the One Neat Trick that plunges us into fascism, may I direct your attention to all of the currently-ongoing fascism?

There are WAY too many guns on both sides of our divided country.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Speaking as a long time Clevelander who can hold an NFL-related grudge, the Raven’s history of becoming a Baltimore team is decidedly not cool.
