Ah, yes, artists, a demographic famous for being apolitical and never calling out truth to power....
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

Was talking to a kid and she’d never heard of cooties. What a lucky generation. All those cooties shots worked.

Hey fellow Jews, especially my fellow observant/Orthodox types

This cool with you?
Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

men get very clear, straightforward instructions. like "bring your foldable chair in the car and put it exactly here". women get "figure out a side dish for 30 people" that sprawls into an incredibly deep decision tree

I would like to issue a formal apology for yesterday's Low Quality Ad, in which I mistakenly called this Sushi Scarf Crochet Kit a Sushi Scarf Knitting Kit. I quickly realized my mistake when legions of furious knitters and crocheters suddenly wanted me dead. Please have mercy.

At this point I think we can all agree: making a computer you can put in your pocket was a huge mistake.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

i in my last job, I was successful in shutting down at least two ambiguous proposals to ‘use ai’ for big projects involving large amounts of data by walking people through how much manual error-checking would be required if accuracy matters even a little bit
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:

they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.
