OK, gather 'round, kiddies - let's do a "why are lawyers like this" thread.

4. GenAI represents a fundamentally different model of computing where determinism and predictability and step by step is replaced with ”I’ll throw this on the big matrix compost pile and see what comes out”, and lots of people who like computer HATE this (myself included).

Remember when you first learned about genetics at school? All those fascinating examples of human traits that are each apparently determined by just a single gene? Time to check in on some of your favourites to see how they’re doing. 🧬🧵🧪 1/n

I've started a _very unofficial_ discord server where some mojang developers and modders are discussing the rendering overhaul that Minecraft java edition is going through. It's free for all to read (though it's likely quite technical 😅), but only relevant modders can speak.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

So they did.

Sorry. I lied. Here it is.

People in the comments were right: the administration is taking advantage of Hegseth's security violation to take the first giant step down the road to ensuring we never have free or fair elections again

The problem with that "First they came for" poem is it makes a lot of unlikely assumptions. For example it assumes they would ever come for me
