He's really sold the bit, hasn't he?

Yet, if you cover up his hair, he easily scans as "generic English aristocrat."

People probably asked the same question about the first Habsburgs.

I used to think that comparing LLMs to people was dumb, because LLMs are just feed-forward networks--basically seven bipartite graphs in a trench coat--that are incapable of introspection.

However, I'm coming around to the notion that some of our drive-by visitors have a brain that's seven cells deep.

The riff-raff have brought us a graft grift.

Maybe I'm being too cynical. It wouldn't be the first time this week that someone drew a spooky picture, would it?

Oh no, are you mad at me? (j/k!!)

Us ADHD people really have to get our rejection sensitivity under control, I tell ya what.

Casting Harlan Ellison as the Acausal Robot God is just the best.

I read the headline yesterday and thought, "This is 100% fundraising bullshit."

This strikes me as being exact same class of thing OpenAI does when they pronounce that their product will murder us all.

What do we call this? Marketerrorism?

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

Rojava has built what seems like a robust, equitable, bullshit-resistant mutual aid system in the face of incredible resistance. The idea of a system that can be an autonomous administration in some areas while operating--possibly legally--in parallel with a nation-state government in others is something I find very appealing.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the underlying system works in detail. I think this is largely due to a language barrier.

Any recommendations for Bookchin/Öcalan type reading for beginners? I've procrastinated on it because I hate reading theory (and it's always embarrassing to need hand holding at my age), but needs must. I haven't had much luck turning up English language stuff that lays out how the system works in a way I could share with a casual observer.

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
