Raskin: "What we have is the Trump Justice Department organizing itself not around the interests of the survivors -- the people who were victimized by Maxwell and Epstein -- but rather organizing itself around protecting the perpetrators."

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

I guess it’s harder to get AI slop supporting predetermined conclusions through peer review.

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

“American Teenager IDF Labeled ‘Terrorist’ For Throwing Rocks ‘Eliminated’ in West Bank”

hire me, NYT

NYT: Israeli Forces Said They Killed a ‘Terrorist.’ He Was 14 Years Old. The death of Amer Rabee, a Palestinian American in the West Bank, has spurred anger over soldiers’ use of force and an apparent lack of accountability.

fucking cowards

it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

Just deranged. This was a *solved* problem.

Grant Holmes struck out Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman in the first and it was awesome!

Grant Holmes has already struck out Shohei Ohtani 4 times this season! The only RHP with more Ohtani Ks in one year is Justin Verlander (5 in 2018).

How it started. How it’s going.

Mike Waltz has left the chat.

“Also, we’re ending the environmental and regulatory standards”

What a difference 5 weeks makes for Bianca. No move living on a chain 🔓

It's just unfathomable to me how one so mutilates their soul that that they feel justified to treat another human being this way.

Even the app hates the owner

I like the cut of his jib.

I've heard execs/Wall St analysts take comfort in fact that consumer spending has held up even as consumer views of the economy are tanking. After all, revealed preferences matter!

But I wonder how much of that disconnect could be explained by cases like this (from a reader):

Democratic members of Congress should probably be made to understand that unless they throw everything they have at this, they are next.

this is black-letter violation of the fourth amendment

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

YES! I yell about this all the time--someone says "there's no room for conservatives at universities" and I'm like, "let me introduce you to the business and engineering schools."

She TIED for 5th place, Marisa. They made her SHARE the aluminum (?) medal with a trans swimmer!

The glory of a SOLO fifth place finish was stolen from her. It's the greatest injustice of all time and don't you dare suggest she's a pathetic bigot for making it her entire personality.

how the white house press corps hasn't lit up karoline leavitt is beyond me. they're going to replace you with brett swastika of the keto-rahowa podcast at the drop of a hat anyway, you might as well earn it instead of taking it like little worms, writhing in the most prestigious career filth
