My no-fun-at-parties take is that "christmas is a secular holiday" is an uncomfortable way of assuring me that christianity is the status quo and everything outside of that is an aberration. Sorry! It's still a christian holiday!! Just because you're an atheist doesn't make it secular!

Worked in occupational safety until recently. Asked an LLM to select respirator cartridges for different toxic vapors. It got it right about 90% of the time - which means it would have poisoned workers 1 time in 10.
In any field where you have to be right every time, LLM/AI is worse than useless.

NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.
was ‘heated rivalry’ failed by its publisher?
everyone's devouring the new TV series, so why can't people buy a copy of the book the show is based on?

More ways in which a brain is not a computer:

The basic sodium-potassium pump that resets action potentials in neurons actually does signal processing, and intracellular Na+/K+ ion concentrations are a 'memory' of firing history that affects future firings

the more disconnected people are from the daily operations, the more they fantasize about all the ways the hot new thing can revolutionize it all
leadership always thinks its a 9-pregnant-ladies-1-month-baby game but workers knows exacly how and why none of it actually helps doing the actual work

That's not really a conspiracy, that's pretty much exactly how every tech company operates these days. Save for those who work exclusively with state/federal utilities.

From 2024. Apparently missed that the first time around. This just destroys my hype for Dark Heresy. If Rogue Trader was made without AI “helping” the concept art phase, there is zero reason to push it on to Dark Heresy development. I am gutted.

Heated Rivalry and Pluribus are probably THE two shows of the moment, and they're both deeply queer, and yet I keep hearing America doesn't want these stories?? So, I guess we need to turn to Canadians and Vince Gilligan to get our fix!
