I understand people getting upset with NBC News for writing about this shit, but also maybe get outside your bubble a bit. In America's diners and taverns, on the bus and in the office, online and off, everyone is clamoring to "enter the Tillyverse" and build artificial acting careers there.

NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

The government keeps doing it nonetheless.

Someday after humanity is extinct, millions of years from now, this statue will be the only surviving proof of our existence. The alien archaeologists that discover it will name our species “the exalted ones” for creating something so beautiful

Another thing reporters are aware of isn't just conflict of interest but also *appearance* of a conflict of interest. Many expected her to act this way.

So even if she didn't act this way purposefully, she gave her detractors enough to believe she was doing the exact thing they expected her to do.

After Trump Officials Cut Food Aid to Kenya, Children Starved to Death “Brutal and traumatizing”: Interviews and a trove of internal documents show government officials and aid workers desperately tried to warn Trump advisers about impending disaster and death.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.

Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

I think it’s incorrect for people to default to “too long” whenever a movie is over three hours, which many definitely do, but I also did feel that The Irishman was a TV miniseries repackaged in movie form.

Trump administration's 50-year mortgage idea ditches a key advantage Buyers taking out a 50-year mortgage wouldn't actually save that much.

On a $500,000 home, assuming current average rates, taking out a 50-year mortgage instead of a 30-year loan would save you $5,000 in monthly payments over five years.

You'd also lose out on $27,000 in equity.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
