A sad mirror of our culture - you can murder ten people with an AR-15 during prime time, as long as you don’t swear while you’re doing it.

I always got this weird sense of pity watching him in front of a camera, not entirely unlike what one might feel seeing an animal performing for treats.

I feel like this tidbit from @carolleonnig.bsky.social's excellent reporting on #ButlerPA is being overlooked by the #cryptography community.

I do think it’s interesting that the White House’s official position is that God killed a volunteer fireman in front of his family

This is not only correct, but it's my favorite kind of correct.

β€œFor years, it's Epstein over and over again” reads so much like β€œRussia, Russia, Russia”.

This would be fascinating. If you do it, don't miss the Casco Bay Weekly (Portland, Maine).

if Trump were actively trying to impoverish and deskill the united states for the sake of our competitors, what would he be doing differently?

I don't think it's our fault - it must be something about how we've evolved to process language (and to reflexively associate it with cognition).

We may not be biologically equipped to properly assess/interact with an entity that's very good at language, but totally devoid of thinking ability. πŸ€“

Generative AIs are just probabilistic text engines - sorta like autocorrect on steroids. I wouldn't trust my autocorrect with anything that mattered. No offense intended, I am just really freaked out by how quickly people are putting their trust in these things! 😨

It's not doing anything you can't do much better! Generative AI models are wrong about facts a very high % of the time because they have no thinking or reasoning abilities. Even OpenAI's own research shows this (attached).
