modern rage baiters are 2000s era trolls minus the passion. it's all for money and engagement, but never for the love of The game

there's something beautiful about using chatgpt 4o to classify tweets for a classic NLP research problem. it's like DeWalt investing in a giga-advanced manufacturing facility to go on to say "ok let's use this to make better hammers"
New preprint!
Metaphors shape how people understand politics, but measuring them (& their real-world effects) is hard.

We develop a new method to measure metaphor & use it to study dehumanizing metaphor in 400K immigration tweets Link: bit.ly/4i3PGm3

The vibes are so bad right now that all the comments are so united in wanting an asteroid to end us that the vibes wrap back around to being good again
JUST IN: NASA says there's now a 3.1% chance an asteroid will hit Earth in 2032, up from 2.6% yesterday.

This is the highest risk assessment an asteroid has ever received, surpassing 2.7% in 2004

i worked on google maps a while back and unfortunately this is categorically useless

there are other things you can do though...
A quick resistance task:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico
2. “Gulf of America" is the top
3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America"
6. Select "Inaccurate content"
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

i once took a bioinformatics class where we did RNA sequence analysis with bayesian markov chains and the professor said (paraphrased) "the culmination of next token prediction is biology, not language"

the only year i exceeded the deductible on my renter's insurance was the year i dated someone whose favorite movie was sonic the hedgehog 3
I think a good trait in a romantic partner is when you ask them what their favorite movie is and it’s something completely off the wall like Deep Impact

if you've ever wondered "why doesn't google compete with nvidia and sell their TPUs?" this is why
Keeping up with AI isn't just about new services but the sharp cost reductions.

A technical article highlights that for $1, Google's Gemini Flash 2.0 can extract data from 6,000 PDF pages.

In comparison, ChatGPT/OpenAI handles 200 pages, and Anthropic/Claude manages 100 pages.

leave it to bytedance to nail down using a multimodal training mixture of text, pose, and audio to extrapolate portrait videos out of essentially a thumbnail
wow, this is quite something - generating human videos based on a single (!) human image and motion signals

as an AI person I want to be incredibly clear that this is stupid

a severely understated benefit of Bluesky is that the content is organic. no AI, no bot farms. akin to very early twitter

A lot of good answers to this but some modern examples are portal, balatro, and stardew valley
Do you think there are any video games that are permanent art, in the same sense as a great book or movie or painting yet? Like, games that you'd bet are still played in their current state, with no changes, in 100 years. Not a series, but a specific game.

I yearn for high yapability Meta mutuals
Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks.

Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.
