Wasn't really online much this past weekend since it was my wedding anniversary, but I wanted to share this photo that I took to remind everyone that the outdoors are cool as fuck.

The AI Bubble Is Not a Question. What Happens If It Bursts Is. The AI industry's most important product is not a chatbot or a video generator; it's the story the AI industry is telling about itself

I wrote about the irony of the AI bubble, a phenomenon driven by storytelling and imagination in an industry that has contempt for both

One of the small things I enjoy most about my job is occasionally getting to help student-athletes with their work, because then I get to think "Hey, I've worked with them!" whenever they do something cool or noteworthy in their sport of choice.

The public-facing side of American conservative politics more or less amounts to crashing out constantly about a bunch of shit that either you or the weird liars you listen to uncritically have made up. The non-public part, from what we've seen of the chat logs and such, is somehow much worse.

Bold to assume they had any ideas to start with!

Put Barry Bonds in the Baseball Hall of Fame, or the institution is otherwise kind of pointless as a place to tell the game's complete story.

The Antifa Grim Reaper, in particular, is pretty good.

We've got you 👍

Wait, what

really did not expect to hearing about nazis all the time in 2025

was just not something i considered tbh

That's actually where The Mill at North food hall is located now, so I suspect that's an old photo.

Yeah, but see, this is supposed to be a consumer product, and who has time for that?

Think of it like a study. I could make a project out of interrogating something like this, honestly.

I'll tell you what: You give me 100 different prompts that essentially answer the question "how many U.S. states do not have the letter 'E' in their name?", and I'll try them out one by one, exactly one time. We'll see how often a large language model can answer it correctly the first time.

So what you're saying overall is that I have to do a lot of writing so that a mathematical model can respond with its own guesswork when I could just write toward my idea or answer on my own in considerably less time?

Answer the question or admit you don't have a good answer. Anything else is wasting my time.

Nah, see, you're creating extra work that shifts responsibility from a clearly faulty product to its user. So, I'll ask you instead: Why should I bother using a product that gets things wrong when we don't tolerate that with anything else in our lives?

No, it's not.

Yeah, man. Real educational. For sure. Hey, let me know when it can answer this question correctly the first time, because it's been at least a year and things aren't looking good.

Big oof for Fresno State there.

*taps the sign*

I believe the prevailing theory these days is 12 rather than eight.

Listen, folks. The white population of Baltimore did not bundle up much of the city's tax base and scurry en masse over the county line after Brown V. BOE to have black motorists still driving about willy-nilly on the public streets decades later. They're out there for a reason. And so is the BCPD.

Huge deal. Buy Back the Block was a huge reason I was able to buy a home in Baltimore City this year.

Do you think Matt Entz got wistful for Fargo yesterday as Fresno State was getting clowned on at home, in historic fashion, during homecoming, against their biggest rivals?

Everyone is always like “oh you’re from Baltimore, is it like The Wire” but what they don’t get is that The Wire grossly underrepresented how many people in this city know how to walk on stilts

Went to the Baltimore Lantern Parade for the first time last night, and it was very cool.
