I look at this as a survey of "how fashionable is it to say the economy is good?" Looks like it's not very fashionable

a lot of the problems with LLMs have to do with the way they interact with more traditional issues, the limits of autodidactism being one of them
I continue to think LLMs are absurdly powerful for learning, and I'm using them more often for it.
The problem is that a lot of people don't have solid metacognitive skills around epistemics and autodidactism.
You've got to have a handle on what you know, how you learn, and if you're learning.

i cannot believe how much of an elitist I've become over the years. People whining about H1-Bs drives me up the wall. If you are in a position where an immigrant can take your job (very doubtful!), then it's your own goddamn fault. Whatever happened to hard work and personal responsibility

“Take Mitchell Boone, a 27-year-old Trump supporter. Five years after leaving a computer science program at the University of Missouri, and what he says are over 1,000 job applications later, Mr. Boone claims he has landed just a single job interview."
He dropped out after a year!

Well the government isn't going to do anything about it, and it's unclear if it's actually illegal, so we gotta try to get in on it
online gambling is essentially legal and open money fixing and laundering at this point

saw "I Am Legend" in theaters and the film burned in the middle, assumed it was part of the movie until the house lights came on
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

torn between my broad support for evidence-based education (which seems to say that this doesn't matter) and my gut-wrenching dread on reading this
In American high schools, many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. trib.al/gNp7kWK

hot take is that chatgpt parenting advice probably mostly regurgitates the consensus of medical and child psychology experts and is therefore a much better source of parenting advice than social media and other internet black holes that promote potentially-dangerous stuff (esp wrt newborns)
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"
Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

brady just said that "the defense needs to enter a defensive posture"
in the nfl, coaches love those big play types of guys. big time players make big time plays, and they're always on the lookout for those kinds of big play types of guys

Poor kirk cousins. Last few drives:
1. ATL Field goal, leading to kick return touchdown for seattle
2. Bijan Robinson loses fumble, leading to Sea TD
3. Deflected pass to kyle pitts leading to INT

the seahawks defense is so good that it masks serious signs about their offense. Currently the D/ST has more TDs than the offense over the last two games

HOW did people care so much about this
Imagine you're overseeing the termination of clinical trials, the destruction of people's livelihoods, the dismantling of scientific research in the US, and you're complaining that Twitter didn't give you a blue check 4 years ago.
