mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

the first question I always ask when this happens - what am I being sold? grok 4 seems like a real deep thinker .... ok, what is the billionaire trying to sell me with that. we'll probably have an answer in six months in the form of some new bullshit Fortnite or UnrealEd upcharged feature.
Putting aside many of the ways this is insanely embarassing and focusing on one mistake you'd maybe think this particular kind of person would not make:
surely a programmer on video games of all things would know better than to draw a conclusion like this about a program from its *output*?

I don't think people really realise the significance of AEW having a wrestler cutting a whole promo in Spanish, and a wrestler wearing an Abolish ICE shirt loud and proud. With the current political climate, AEW is not perfect. But people there will not tolerate hate. End. Of

Glad that with Donald Trump terrorizing immigrants & asylum seekers and selling off all our public lands that Tina Kotek is spending her energy undermining popular democracy and trying to cut taxes for the rich.
Honestly despicable behavior.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

this is like the thing where natives drove buffalo off cliffs through herd mentality tricks, except it's grifting billionaires and we're the buffalo
Absolutely correct
Let’s be blunt. China and Russia are already racing to dominate AI while we still debate if it’s even worth it. Hesitation is no option, we need to lead smart, and strong. My latest (in reply)

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

Final passage by one vote, though likely the present and 2 NV were all available to them if they had been needed. It's with the Senate now

I have a brother that’s mentally disabled (doesn’t have bsky or know about mine, but still debated posting this). I know it’s become hip for whatever reason but don’t use the R-word. If you’ve never seen someone go real quiet after overhearing it used as an insult in public you wouldn’t know. Stop.

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

It’s genuinely embarrassing that people keep falling for these “AI explains the hidden secrets of its programming” posts. Grok is not sentient, it cannot explain what it’s doing and why.
An X USER, to Grok: “Why are you launching into conversations about white genocide, unprompted?” 🤡

The Internet of Things ended up being the internet of unsupported products.
Google is ending support for 1st & 2nd generation Nests and completely pulling out of Europe.
Imagine having to replace the thermostats in your home because of a reorg at some big tech meant it was no longer a priority.

@marathonthegame.bungie.net are there plans to add more controller customization? like turning down deadzone, linear acceleration, button layouts, the usual stuff you see for shooters? right now the settings available are making it hard to keep up with cross play (harder than in other shooters).
