Sam Altman cries eight deliciously bitter tears for every dollar donated to Pivot to AI. Now, that’s *effective* altruism.

It's hot girl summer!!!!

So do your girl a favor and bring her a nice cup of iced water and make sure she's not overheating and dehydrated

The needle has been moving away from purely hand-authored code for many decades now. That includes code generation, code verification, etc etc.

We've just been using and developing tools that are actually good at this, and that's still a more worthwhile direction than LLMs, which will NEVER be good

Gods I wish Democrats were 1% as cool as Republicans make them out to be.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAA

so this comes ONE DAY after the Anthropic decision that pirating the books you train on is not fair use

and guess what, *all* the LLMs trained on pirated books

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

We failed to learn our lesson from the trolls online and they took over the fucking government.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States.

A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports.

There are 3 Pridemonth and then the Pr and month is greyed out in the 4th one only leaving IDE in the white colour and then below that there is just the word IDE and below the word IDE there is from left to right a DVD drive, and IDE hard drive and the connector for IDE

We are in the middle of a cold war between people who want to engage, want to think, want to solve problems and comprehend the solutions on one side, and those who resent having to learn or think or understand on the other.

AI, politics, business, education -- all fronts in the same war.

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.
