Remember:
When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.
ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Any Brooklyn-heads remember Burger Mexicano on Flatbush Ave like a decade plus ago? I’ve been craving the bacon lardon mascarpone burger from there since they closed and I haven’t found anywhere else that makes such a decadent menu item :(

They love Hitler, they hate anyone who does not resemble themselves, and they dream of mass death on a scale that stuns the conscience.
If we are to have any kind of country left at all, they and their dreams must be rejected and destroyed in the most forceful means available.

These are the faces of young conservatism in America.
Privileged scions who have supped from a poisoned chalice their entire lives, and now, bellies full, are eager to regurgitate that poison into our lives and onto our society, until it mirrors their own rotten imaginings.

on the one hand this does seem like the inevitable outcome of giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to a self-selecting group of the most anti-social and self-regarding entitled assholes in an already entitled and assholic population
on the other hand it’s still pretty shocking

when we said “defer electoral strategy to the actual politicians running for actual offices” we meant “after calculating wins above replacement somehow”

Alexa Avilés is a progressive champion, a fierce defender of immigrants & working class families, and an amazing rep for our community.
In this race, she’s showing powerful solidarity by unifying progressives, so we can win together.
I’m immensely grateful for her support.

Yglesias is just another slack-jawed Dunning-Kruger Club member of the professional “takes” class who is incapable of synthesizing and accepting criticism of his “beliefs”. Professional stupid person for money! That’s very “in” right now.
Yglesias referring to Senator Van Hollen as a "safe seat clout-chaser" is so despicable. VH took a stand to prevent Abrego García - an innocent man - from being disappeared into CECOT for life.
matt & co’s theory of how public opinion on immigration would respond to new information was simply empirically wrong.
at this point the only reasonable conclusion is they refuse to update their priors w/ new data because the data is inconvenient for them

Good news: he’s gonna be okay! Broken leg is fixable and they won’t have to amputate.

Nancy Pelosi moved heaven and earth to get Henry Cuellar installed and keep Jessica Cisneros out. He was one of the three (D) defectors here. Everyone who ever stuck up for either of them is a dog's dick with a separate, smaller dog's dick for a brain
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
