some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a week. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.

In Sacramento yesterday morning a US citizen is tackled by ICE agents as his horrified wife screams.

So true bestie, clock their tea

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.

But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

STOP USING AI FOR THIS CRAP

Minnesota was just ranked the 5th best state for child wellbeing — here’s why:

✅ Free school meals
✅ Nation-leading Child Tax Credit
✅ Paid family and medical leave

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

One of the most irritating things is people whose privileges and lack of decency allow them to simply not care about the world and the people in it and who then make a moral virtue out of being above it all. They're the type of people who'll excuse anything just to keep a peace that suits them.

everyone deserves human rights.

trying to carve out exceptions because 'its complicated' is just trying to subvert the principle. either everyone gets them or no one has them.

i accept that life is complicated and there are many difficult situations and nuances.

but core ideas are simple

This is not the actual cover of Nature, just shown here for illustrative purposes. We did submit this figure for consideration for their cover. Print run in two weeks, we'll know by then if it gets used.

Out today in Nature, our paper on the drivers of the record 2023 summer heating of the North Atlantic. Temperatures warmed to record levels in just a few months. The impacts on climate & ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found.👇👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One of the (many) problems with media rn is that the news is like “Trump proposes this thing” and then everyone goes “that’s terrible I hope not” and then it gets blocked by Congress but people don’t always hear about that so Trump supporters will go “SEE YOU’RE REACTING NOTHING BAD HAPPENED”

Can I still identify as a Minnesotan if I moved to Wisconsin, Gov. Walz? 😭

Stop I’m gonna cry please tell him he looks so good

I need a Letterboxd for music where I can go rate and review albums and songs and see what friends rate

Does anyone know of something like this?

Kendrick ended him lol

I needed that halftime show to be 15 minutes longer

so many people booing Trump, Jon Batiste singing the national anthem, Lady Gaga & Kendrick, Taylor Swift in suffragist white, NOLA, two black quarterbacks (one of which who actively talks about social justice issues and has an all women team) — Super Bowl slays this year

MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD

Unsurprising that according to Twitter, the Chief’s losing rn is somehow Taylor Swift’s fault??

This is CRAZY omg you nailed this

I’ve been watching the SuperBowl for about five minutes and I’m starting to believe the rumors that the Chiefs paid off the refs

It’s because they think they’re being Tony Stark, even though multiple movies and comics showed us that the best things he did was undo the damage of his creations once he saw their negative impact

I had very few concerns using TikTok while it was owned by ByteDance

I have a lot of concerns if it's owned in total or part by a US company
