I made sooooooo many batches of the orange cranberry one this year, also the maple pecan one.

I’ve decided I want to try a batch with chopped fresh cranberry instead of dry soon

It’s one of the things I find terrifying about the current very weird shit some of these people believe. Like, no wonder they don’t care if a million people die of something. They’re talking themselves into not believing in other people in a very real, actionable sense.

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse?

You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

Raising your parents is not for the weak

That’s a goose maybe A duck… in the fast food drive through

Forgot to add lololololololololol

i wonder how many people saw Jacob Tierney and hockey and they're watching Shoresy instead

Having an ambiguous carrot and stick is far more effective than making explicit demands. It result in people self-censoring far beyond what legislation alone could ever hope to achieve. Be it out of fear of crackdowns, or to curry favor with the ruling party. The outcome is still the same.

I wish universities were not embattled like this so they could concentrate on providing a non-profit, social benefit focused long project with intellectual rigor. Equity/capital in this country is doing their best to erase all competition including non-profit competition

My read on why tech ceos are trying to sell llm’s as an everything tool is because they want the free training for them
The fact that Altman is trying to privatize the socialized labor is grotesque, truly. It’s why Open AI should remain a non-profit

This is such a baby/bathwater situation tho

You can choose not to train the llm, that’s totally fair. The fact that Altman is trying to privatize the socialized labor is grotesque, truly. It’s why Open AI should remain a non-profit.

But we should definitely reject their framing! We can be smarter and non-reactionary!

Like, when have humans ever used tools the exact way that they are told? Never, which is why USCPSC is so vital.

Tech ceos are trying to sell llm’s as an everything tool because they want the free training for them. Using llms right now is basically free labor, a voluntary babysitting session
