YOU MIGHT SAY THAT SHE'S LOST FACE

*collapses in a dead heap*

I hope the cameras are rolling

My head is a little cloudy because of cold medicine but what’s the process here?

Markwayne has to vacate his senate seat before a confirmation vote?

I can’t imagine they can hold a confirmation hearing within a month, can they?

Rather taking the ethical part out of ethical non monogamy

Bahahahaha

Yeah, nice acquisition! This looks awesome

Aiwa, oh those were fancy!!

I ain’t listening to all that

And look, we all have done things. But we have a lot of public statements from Platner that make clear he thinks he’s a victim here and I think that’s utter shite.

I can’t see how you draw any conclusion other than this. He walked around for decades around people he should care about with a symbol of hate on his chest. Even if he didn’t know there’s a lot to make amends for. I haven’t heard a word of it from him.

Man’s got a lot of people, including his own family, to apologize to.

Only a master can wield the vibro mezzalunae effectively

Pauldrons on an otherwise unarmored and unclothed Hutt is a fascinating choice

Good morning! Yes, this is he

this also doesn’t preclude love in an elevator, which is a rectangular prism

fwiw I don't know what's really in Graham Platner's heart, that side of his chest hasn't come up as much

Friend just sent me an Indeed jobs posting for part-time Personal Effects Specialists to recover military dead at Dover AFB

I think the Trump admin is lying (shocker, I know) about the number of troops Iran has killed in this hyper-illegal war

www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=5...

The job may handle belongings of military or civilian casualties, but it’s plausible there are more casualties than they’re letting on or they expect more casualties. Did we ever find how many injured there were in the strikes that have killed US military personnel?

I did not share the original story because my gut was that the sourcing was dubious. Someone who knows more about the sole source confirms that skepticism. Don't fall for clickbait, read the piece linked below.

(If the story is confirmed by other outlets, that's another thing. But ... it's not)

Being a transphobe does seem to consume someone’s identity, it’s almost a rule at this point

100%. They’re setting the stage, having made many promises to their investors, and trying to one up each other, and what we’ve created is this bubble where the expectations and investment has far outstripped the capability.

That and few of these companies are profitable.

I just don’t think we’d be here if AI companies were more measured in marketing specific use cases rather than “this will solve all problems and replace most jobs”

and how we interact with each other. If we want to find responsible uses, we need to answer these questions,

I also have not found anywhere where I feel comfortable deploying an LLM in my work or recommending that others do so. That may change. But I have many questions that need answering first

what are uses of LLMs that are worth the time and investment, and where the pros outweigh the cons to the extent that we want to use them professionally.

Most of my criticism is that we have NOT adequately looked at (or even begun to look) at downstream negatives on individuals, on our profession

The technology doesn’t bear out that it is useful all the time. And I would agree that users who use LLMs have determined that they are also not useless all the time.

It’s this in between that we find ourselves, and most of the professionals I engage with on here are simply trying to figure out

A lot of the vitriol at LLMs is directed at a real criticism though, that LLMs are a Swiss Army Knife / global panacea. It’s not just a useless/useful dichotomy. Proponents of LLMs (in particular the companies selling them) tout them as useful all the time. That simply isn’t true
