Kind of impossible but a thing I say thousands of times every year
“Hey, you up for a photo real quick?”

Implications of OP aside, JFC the actual results…
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

Two years ago we tested and switched to our chocolate clay and we love it! But we’re also curious about techniques that don’t really work on darker clay bodies so we might switch, at least for a while, to a lighter body clay. Also my kind of ADHD is constantly getting bored with things 😂

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

My friends who are in tech are getting destroyed by AI.
My friends who are established writers are like "bring it, Claude, I'll have your ass hanging on a flagpole by morning."
Just anecdotal, but still.

a lot of "AI hype" discourse makes more sense when you realize that a lot of initial LLM/GenAI hype envisioned replacing artists and PhDs, and its actual impacts have been much greater on coders and other tech workers
creatives/experts see "AI" as underperforming hype, techies see it overperforming

My tinfoil hat take is there is some kind of kickback going to universities for being so eager on this
Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon paying influencers $400k-$600k to post months of AI hype content. Absolutely busted, failed industry, embarrassing era

Google and Microsoft offer lucrative deals to promote AI, but even $500,000 won't sway some creators
Tech companies including Google and Microsoft are paying influencers hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote AI products.

This decision was made without consulting a single CU Boulder professor with AI expertise. And AFAIK there was one professor *total* involved.

This is a media story mostly. No one left in the desicated corporate media wants to write about some new code that helped some nerds be more efficient at science. So they enthusiastically let themselves be conned by the hucksters so they can feel like they're writing a more important story.

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

We need to adopt a new term for “moderate democrat”. Hmm, just spitballing, how about “Republican”?
Moderate Democratic state lawmakers joined Republicans Monday night to defeat a bill that would have strengthened local Colorado governments’ authority to tax vacant residential properties.

Had my in the woods adventures more in Ohio, but from third through fifth grade everything you see on this map was me and my friends stomping grounds. Our modes of getting around were skateboard, rollerblades and bmx bikes. RIP Skyler’s Ice Cream, you were goated at 11pm during sleepovers
