Only took until 2025

I am so looking forward to this!

Congratulations!

I saw a thing the other day that basically said “no matter what prompt you give it, the question an LLM is answering is ‘what would a plausible response to this prompt look like?’”

It worked! Order placed. Thank you!

I just tried placing an order to Canada via the UK site, and it says no delivery to Canada :(

Any suggestions?

Seconded! And if you like “Language of the Night”, while it’s not quite out yet, you can now pre-order the essay collection @bluejo.bsky.social & I have coming out soon, “Trace Elements: Conversations on the Project of Science Fiction & Fantasy” (available any normal book pre-order place).

Happy Birthday!

The first time? Wow, that's pretty great! First time I tried, I could not deadlift my own body weight

Is it just me, or is anyone else thinking that this could/should apply to ICE agents "arresting" the wrong people?

I learned very recently that the term is extraordinary rendition.

If this is true, it's still wild to me that individual ICE agents are willing to do that bidding.

When you've got this kind of anonymous state-endorsed chaos, the agents are at risk of being shot by good Samaritans with guns.

And everyone is at risk from criminals posing as ICE

Sure, there's the vigilantes that will cosplay as law enforcement.

But why isn't ICE concerned about a vigilante with a gun stopping a kidnapping?

Can someone explain it to this Canadian? If law enforcement are plainclothes or masked and don't identify themselves, how are citizens supposed to know whether they are witnessing a criminal kidnapping or a lawful arrest?

That was a great article. Wild that there hasn't been more public pushback against Gladwell for this. Or at least pushback that I've seen
