Ok, season 2 isn't that great. I had forgotten completely 🤣 I appreciate Cod being the external viewer and speaking out loud what we think when those two get lovey dovey siroupy cheesy🤢, but also: his wife left and went no contact. What did you do to her, Cod???
In bed with the flu and rewatching Pushing daisies.
Such a pity it didn't get out now, with the social network and everything. It would have been a great success. And maybe not axed at S.2. or maybe not 🥲

Non-industry compromised scientists keep saying these models don't become safe, no matter what, but people keep thinking just because the concept of guardrails is mentioned it must work. By definition, it doesn't. This is not something open to discussion, unless you're a paid shill.

AI is also destroying creativity.
“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”
AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education
