Jewish time is cyclical so in Purim we celebrate defeating militant fanatics by assimilation into a different cosmopolitan empire

I have never seen the movie Synecdoche New York, but trump destroying the White House to build a colossal ballroom as his legacy, that turns into an interminable boondoggle as his physical health deteriorates and he loses touch with reality, feels like Synecdoche New York

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

the most frustrating thing that no one ever stands up to him, because he’s famously a coward who folds at serious pushback! If anyone had interrupted and said “I won’t allow you to speak that way to her” he would have fallen out of his chair

AI is a golem and it needs the instruction “truth” in order to function
i'm going to sound sarcastic here but genuinely one of the most interesting aspects of LLMs is that they are proving that evil is real, by which i mean if you train them to do one bad thing they start doing other bad things that you have not trained them to do
At least once a month, Anthropic puts out an alignment paper d AI behavior where, if you saw it in a science fiction film, you‘d be screaming at the idiot scientists onscreen to stop development
