I don't like the "hallucination" language that has emerged not because it's humanizing or w/e but because it belies the simple fact that every result an LLM has ever spat out, even when incidentally correct, is fundamentally hypothetical

the entire internet is going to break piece by piece because AI written code fails and causes bugs, and it's going to take so much time to try to fix it that it's basically quicker to start from scratch. companies are putting themselves in technical debt (ie it will take so much time to fix shit)

AI is an illusion machine. it makes code that looks like functioning code but isn't. it spits out walls of text that look good at a glance but when you actually read it, it lacks substance. it gives the appearance of authoritative speech but is just predictive text based on what it thinks you want.

something in how we saw everything as a HUMAN race changed with chattel slavery

It DID change math, science, religion and reality

and too many people want to keep it to "soft sciences"

but it's not

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

The government keeps doing it nonetheless.

Hey friends. Everyone is sick right now. Do yourself a favour and wash your hands all the time. Lean into the sick days (get paid to rest and recover hell yeah) and stay home. If you're under the weather and can't stay home be the best neighbour and slap on an N95 when out and about. Love u

Nuremberg
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now.

the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.
so many families are in awful positions because ICE’s bullshit has collapsed the already fragile social safety net.

this family is living in their van in minnesota in winter. they’ve applied for help at over a dozen orgs and are still unhoused. with babies.

“Far beyond just saving riders money, free buses deliver a cascade of benefits, from easing traffic to promoting public safety. Just look at Boston; Chapel Hill, N.C.; Richmond, Va.; Kansas City, Mo.; and even New York itself, all of which have tried it to excellent effect.”

This is great. Jamie Raskin said that Trump is in the unredacted files more than a million times. Which means that the 38,000 is less than 4%. You would have to scroll through that page 26 times to replicate it.

"I'm not scared of a germ... I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats."
This is a direct quote from the secretary of Health and Human Services. I lack words to describe how unhinged it is to have this person dictating healthcare policy for 350 million people.
