The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

this isn't 1 problem caused by 1 platform/piece of technology. it's many overlapping problems caused by a bunch of systems that were optimized for scale and/or built & rolled out without any real care for how they'd be used and abused. one can only conclude this is the desired use for all this tech
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Tonight there is a draft for a women’s pro baseball league and on Saturday I will watch the women’s soccer team I support play for a championship after their most successful season yet, surrounded by other diehard fans at a bar. I am living in a world 8-year-old me could have never imagined.

Not a unique take, but: Sports gambling has broken our brains. It's the least interesting lens through which to analyze sports, putting so much focus on the "what will happen/is happening" over "why will it happen/is it happening." It makes our conversations worse and less curious.

The Pelicans fire Willie Green but before that, could not summon the courage to name him.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I had never seen a second of Portnoy on camera prior to this huge Internet Invitational.
It was almost uncomfortable watching the “Appreciate all the money but could you please go away, weirdo” vibes from all the competitors whenever he showed up.😬

In NYC for NBRA event I talked w/some NBA folks about Joe Dumars to NOLA.
Every single one mentioned how Joe was a voice for Zion re: being officiated correctly.
Joe wanted job. Pels liked ideas.
Two “big name” reporters heard this convo. Mike Breen was there.

Seems Pels are not going to part ways w/ Willie Green just yet.
My by-line had Thanksgiving week circled.
Basically, don’t want to look forced into a decision.
At least, that’s the vibe when trying to press for answers.
