The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

something that makes me so sad about LLMs and Generative AI is that they suppose a world where creativity isn't moving forward. all that has come before is contextless (surely no meaningful work went into the books that line the shelves of libraries, the paintings that adorn barren walls)

i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers
it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

I'm a lawyer, trust me when I say you can no longer assume the courts will sort it out. Liberals need to understand that the system they relied on and assume is inviolate is at a minimum hollowed and sclerotic to the bone, and at worse, actively hostile
i hate to be that girl but we're gonna need to really quickly move past complaining that everything is "unconstitutional" or whatever and start talking about what we are actually going to do to materially resist fascist attacks and defend marginalized communities. laws are fake. lives are real.
