Oh they are so cute!

So… we should replace them with LLM’s because then they might learn from updated data? (This is sarcasm, if anyone couldn’t tell.)

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush?

It’s the “If I Were a Rich Man” design principle, where you need one long stair case just for going up, one even longer going down, and one more leading nowhere, just for show.

I really feel you on all aspects of this one. We did once have a lost balloon one time, and a different balloon landed in our yard randomly the next day. Sometimes the balloon gods provide (and sometimes papa helps)

Except the text of the article says Hamas broke the ceasefire.

Ppl love to attribute consciousness to a linguistic toy, but show them a dolphin or a nonverbal autistic child and they go to pieces, it’s bias all the way down

Absolutely this! We may not yet understand how consciousness happens, but we know a good deal about how it *doesn’t* happen!

Happy anniversary!

TIL that there is no obvious difference between a bath bomb and a toy dino egg to dig until it fails to dissolve in the bath. 🤦🏽‍♀️

That is incredibly kind.

We had this movie, it was called Gattaca

Oooh I’m going to have to try that!

Happy birthday, RHPS! ❤️👄🕺🏼👯

I knew it! The author teaches at SLC, where this is a common practice, because 90%+ of classes are seminars. I taught at SLC for a year and it was great - but it is distinctly different from other schools by design.

This is incredibly cool.

I knew a lot of philosophers in grad school, and I feel like the rebuttal to this is to ask about the pyrite’s internal experience, “what it’s like to be a pyrite,” if you will.

Who could possibly have seen this coming. (sarcastic)

Based on the abstract (study is paywalled) I’d look at why some women were using Tylenol for more than 20 weeks during their pregnancy. It’s easy to think of things that might drive Tylenol use that might *also* drive hyperkinetic autism rates.

They want to eradicate neurodiversity (as well as every other kind of diversity) but as a species/society we need people with different kinds of brains! And even people who are not “useful” under capitalism deserve to live and thrive!

That is so amazingly wholesome and wonderful and creative.

Thank you for this repost in the bookmark era!

Gritty for president.

My blood pressure can’t take it. Thank you for reporting.

If you teach the machine on biased data, it replicates the bias. We’ve been discovering this, repeatedly, for fifty years. Possibly the people responsible could do something different. If they wanted to.

I’m sorry, a “Kirk special” is a chicken sandwich and coffee, as ordered by Captain Kirk. Preferably without tribbles, but we’ll take what we can get.

It is extremely aggravating to be so affected by something so completely outside of our control. Solidarity.
