as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

The federal government's dangerous escalation tactics must end.

I got a complicated relationship with Sharon. I loved her, I thought she was hilarious and fun.

She was also undeniably abusive to a lot of people over decades, inflicting her Summit Avenue House delusions on everyone she could. A 50 year temper tantrum.

Just updated post w this video of the collision

Wyoming? At least is a little west?

Cute outfit!!! ❤️ sorry it wasn’t the longstanding plan…

Many swimmers at a river beach.

Thank you Human Access Project! Let’s party and swim in the Willamette!

Many swimmers on a rocky beach under a bridge with a sun and downtown skyline across a river.

Beautiful day for a swim

Rainbow over Incident Command at the Hope Fire. Fingers crossed

For disaster response, the National Interagency Coordination Center and use of centralized command structures makes the general response similar… although different ecosystems, landscapes, values, etc all change depending on ranger districts even…

Engineering, I use my liberal arts electives almost daily to build relationships and influence partners to achieve the needs of my program and organization.

My masters program less commonly, but the thesis itself has come up in separate situations/fields more than I ever expected.

A great city rises? We still doin this? Asking for a friend…

Corner stores, small businesses and little places are great 3rd places and truly are the lifeblood of a neighborhood

Two dead bodies, one remote island and a whisper network: What happened on Isle Royale? The Lake Superior island off Minnesota’s coast grapples with a mysterious north woods tragedy.

We hiked deep in Isle Royale to learn what we could about the deaths of two campers at the rugged and remote national park in Lake Superior.

It's a place known for its moose and wolves. But as one camper said: “The danger is from the people you go out here with.”

Folks say “but you won’t be invited to the BBQ” but like… would you be interested in a BBQ? Can I invite you over? We’re just shy, socially-anxious/awkward and really wanna be friends too!!! We just forget how to be social sometimes…

Bike ride and camping in the coast range. Happy Juneteenth 🇺🇸

Star Jasmine flowers in a warm light

But at least there were flowers…

Today the dog was shy and greeted me, but didnt want pets… still working on it…

I pet a golden retriever and went on a bike ride (with a very young ride leader showing us all the flowers)

Neighbors are growing such pretty flowers! 🌹

Thousands of people at the No Kings rally in Portland. Stay tuned to the @portlandmercury.com for more throughout the day.

MNGOP chair is calling on everyone to “not politicize this.” What other fucking lens should we be using? Genuine question for the GOP.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Moves back to MN and immediately writes “B-Line: a sequel”

Pun thread 3:

The story of this batter comes… full circle. ⭕️

Pretty easy for Minneapolitans to believe

Minneapolis here, what you don’t realize yet is that every anti-government & police nutjob within 48 hours drive is now heading to LA to brawl. And school is out and gas is cheap.

Burned extra calories, so onion rings and Modelos? Sí por favor!

We didn’t realize how uphill the Banks-Vernonia trail is… But a wonderful Sunday w/ @erikaneeds.bsky.social

Idk, feels like one of these things is not like the others… I mean, it’ll win, but there’s more corner store chicken to have its own category
