I installed Linux on 3 different computers last night in less time than the apple store can put an OS on a MacBook.

My chancellor is having a laugh with this "Nimble Strategy for Berkeley’s Future." We're the living embodiment of bureaucracy and static documents.
This is a different strategic planning process than what we’ve done in the past – instead of producing static documents that rarely guide actual decisions, we’re identifying big narratives and bold ideas, testing what works, and looking to scale the most promising approaches.

Donna would side with Molly on this one, except actually she'd be jealous she didn't get the plastic herself.

It was only a matter of time before the big players went after the chatbot erotica market. Will be fascinating to see if they can wrestle it away from character AI, replika, grok (lol), etc.

Sometimes you just can't tell people things. You just have to sit back and let them find out for themselves. Usually those people are children.
Nate Silver @NateSilver538 • 5h •.° I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.
