If you look at a stat like 80/20 and don't think to yourself "how can the Dems kick ourselves in the junk based on this overwhelming signal?" are you even trying?
There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

This is a good thing but out of context it's hilarious to see the enthusiasm.
Flu deaths exceeded COVID deaths last winter and we may be on track for the same thing this year!
I can speak anecdotally that at the hospital I work at we’ve had very low covid census. We test anyone experiencing respiratory symptoms, and we’ve had very few people with Covid who have needed to be hospitalized. Which is a relief because we are absolutely inundated with flu rn

There are so few things that bring me joy, but a video of a robot kicking a dude in the nads will never not bring me joy.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Bruce’s annual glowup post. Four years ago today Bruce was hit by a car living as a stray in Manchester, TN. Today he’s got a new house, steak for dinner, and a bigger stocking than Megan and I. Merry Christmas, buddy.

dropped a hair trimmer in the toilet and rather than get like idk a pair of tongs or something I flushed the toilet so I didn't have to touch the pee, and it went how you'd expect that to happen. that hair trimmer proceeded to buzz in my pipes for like 6 hours before the battery died lmao

My main frustration with, well, most things, is that there are areas where getting facts right /isn't/ an important thing.
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.
