This shit is a mental illness lol, and is absolutely why none of these people have accomplished anything meaningful besides building their own platforms. Thanks for your work, we’re still on a rapid descent into fascism despite It all.

Given this is based on a non-peer-reviewed paper by researchers at Anthropic, with their track record on research we can probably assume a) that the methodology is really bad, and b) if the results are accurate (if they even test the thing purported to be studied), they think this is good PR for AI

Watching these Grammys, you have to wonder if perhaps the Silicon Valley bros made a classic VC mistake and went all-in on reactionary politics right before the bottom dropped out.

We need to put our best minds towards figuring out why Stancil is the most polarizing topic on this site.
Thanks. I don’t think I did insult Stancil. As I say I don’t know him and don’t care about the fight over him, but I did argue with the guy who was attacking the work he’s doing now, which I admire.

ICE Is Nothing Like the Brownshirts, Because the Brownshirts Actually Identified Themselves
Let’s get this out of the way: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is nothing like the Sturmabteilung, a.k.a. Hitler’s Brownshirts. Your main clue ...

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.
It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

Can anyone demonstrate that this person’s bluesky posting has materially decreased ice captures?
Or is this just another person more concerned with not receiving the acclaim they decry others for chasing? Seems like this tbh.
