You can add up all the enjoyable pursuits of LLMs and the work productivity hacks and none of them, separately or together, will be more important than AI’s ecological costs or political disruption.
“We” is more important here.

Hundreds (thousand?) of people lining the streets in Fairbanks Saturday morning. What a difference between this boisterous and enthusiastic crowd and the few dour counter-protesters driving by in their substitutes for masculinity.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

1336 for today's #mini1000 so far. Trying to get through 50k of revision so I'd like to do more than 1000 -- feasible since it's revision rather than drafting -- but I'll take every k I can get

Once, Harriet Beecher Stowe and George Eliot's had a big fight when spiritualist Stowe's claimed she'd summoned Charlotte Brontë's ghost. Frankly, I'd rather have that. (Charlotte would never)

Says the CEO of HarperCollins on AI:
"One idea is a “talking book,” where a book sits atop a large language model, allowing readers to converse with an AI facsimile of its author."

It made me physically ill following updates from the Supreme Court today. Sending love to trans people, trans kids especially, and their families because… whew. Enduring this kind of hostility is an experience us cisgender will never fully understand.

This is totally "posting through it" behavior for which I'll inaccurately blame the drugs later, but the little automatic compression sleeves the hospital had put on my calves make me feel like Baymax every time they inflate

These places are enchanted spaces and I love them. It's here that you'll find the old, forbidden, forgotten, dusty books of trouble, rebellion, resistance, and knowledge. This place doesn't care about bestsellers, face-out displays, etc.

Hold fast, pals. We'll need strength either way.
P.S. One more thing:
The Harris campaign has been warning about this for days now, but it bears saying again.
Trump will probably try to declare victory tonight. Do not fall for it, and denounce it loudly.
Team Harris is also expecting it, and they are prepared to act.

Please do not spread wrong information that might unintentionally depress the vote on the west coast. Check your facts before sharing ANYTHING.
