Emergency Triad: The Chicago Rubicon and What Comes Next We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

NEW: "I don’t like sending out 'emergency' newsletters, but I’ve had my eye on the situation in Chicago all day....This moment has elevated the crisis so that it is no longer just a conflict between the federal government and a state, but between two states."

If I ran a consulting firm, I'd be yelling as loudly as I could that we will never use LLMs in lieu of the work of our experienced, talented, brilliant people. If a consulting firm's work is so shitty that it can be replaced with an LLM, then they should go out of business as soon as possible.

Accenture plans on 'exiting' staff who can't be reskilled on AI amid restructuring strategy Accenture CEO Julie Sweet said as advanced AI becomes core to the company's strategy, employees are expected to "retrain and retool" at scale.

I've seen a couple of news stories recently that tell me how completely screwed that major consulting firms are. The first was Accenture laying off 1% of their workforce to demonstrate that they're all in on GenAI. Really? Accenture wants to advertise that they can be replaced by an $20/month LLM?

Parents Struggle to Find Covid Vaccines for Their Children Amid Regulatory Confusion Children under 12 need different versions of Covid vaccines, but many pharmacies and pediatricians’ offices aren’t stocking them.

President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have created new obstacles for many people seeking Covid vaccines. But it has been particularly difficult to secure shots for children, including infants and toddlers, who are at higher risk of severe illness from Covid even if they are healthy.

Senator Jim Banks V @SenatorBanks Follow g.. The 2020 Census was a fraud. The Biden admin used a shady "privacy" formula that scrambled the data and miscounted 14 states.

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

another example of something that would have defined a U.S. Senator in the past but which will be completely ignored by news media today

So, just centrally managing the economy then?

I feel like I can only think of the opposite. Something that is wielded to be flirty that I've had to learn to not read as such. "You're not like other girls;" "You're so smart;" etc.

CDC panel votes to limit who is eligible for this fall's Covid vaccine Only people 65 and over or with underlying health conditions should get the shots, the advisory group recommended. There may be insurance roadblocks for others.

This is super cool bc:

1) Many of the highest-risk conditions, like ME/CFS & Long Covid, aren't on the list

2) The best way to protect the vulnerable is to protect the population so others don't infect them

3) None of this accounts for Novavax which is not mRNA

I think this is a really salient point that’s a key thing that gets overlooked as an element of what might be necessary to embrace if we’re going to be able to get out of this.

This should be seen as authoritarian: A refusal to allow the work of oversight to be done, masquerading as a debating club when she ought to be answering questions.

Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions

“We must stop expecting carbon offsetting to work at scale. […] We have assessed 25 years of evidence and almost everything up until this point has failed.”

What does she think fork means??

I wonder what my dog thinks it means when im yelling at random things, “fuck!”

You know its a full moon because i can hear coyotes howling and dogs barking and a cat screaming all at the same time.

Seeing ppl blithely put diagnoses in their bios is so wild because in Russian, не нормальный, which means, “not normal,” is literally a slur. There’s also more pejorative derivations like не нормуха. Anyway, Americans just be giving their country away, like surely theres more where it came from.

So many ppl would hear me explain how bad catching this thing is & then, like automatons would say “well what do you suggest?” As if *I* was supposed to solve a global pandemic for them, & thereafter just preceded as if Id said nothing at all. Like, I dunno. I suggest u internalize what im saying.

Is the skill reality?

Now you can diagnose them!

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Newsom says he’s on the verge of quitting the National Govs Association: “should not be difficult … regardless of partisan affiliation, to agree that politicizing our states’ Natl Guard and deploying… over the objections of the home-state Governor,harms the interests of states”

They better dance with the one who brought them.

Men cant commit to anything.

Moon genes - Unexplainable <p>We know life on Earth wouldn't be possible without the moon. Now scientists are finding the moon might even be influencing our biology on a molecular level.<
