This is a frustration I have with LLM tech, feels like we skipped a bunch of much easier wins.
Sometimes I think about simple things that don’t even require ML but nevertheless don’t get implemented.
Such as, iMessage could weight terms that have appeared recently in a conversation, or in the metadata in link preview cards, and treat them as words that don’t require autocorrection.

Been listening to John Dickerson for years on Slate Gabfest and IMO he is stellar. Brings fair and deep context to every issue he comments on.
dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

New, by me, on why the City of Atlanta should not extend its TAD (TIF) districts and how it will hurt, not help, low-income Atlantans.

Extending gentrifying Atlanta’s tax districts for 25 years makes little sense
Atlanta's Tax Allocation Districts (TADs) have run their course and we should find more novel ways to spur prosperity, build housing and assist low-income residents.

Co-signed times a thousand. “Other people have no interiority” is, fundamentally, a deeply evil belief to hold which will lead you exclusively to terrible places
One of my most moral panic style opinions is the use of “NPC” as a slur is a symptom of a societal sociopathy epidemic.

This is also a profoundly self-centered thing, “ah yes my group *must have* been the key factor in this other group‘s behavior“.
Basically it's this: any time they discuss a behavior or belief of MAHA types, or vaccine deniers, or the right generally that is crazy, they instinctively, immediately explain it through recourse to something Dems or the administration did.

Perhaps obvioustown but with morality, values, etc, there's a tendency to think you're **good** when in fact you're **average** (which is fine/normal).

I just really worry about what will happen to these people when this murder budget hits. Basically everyone I saw there was already on SNAP and still going to the food bank. Lots of them had jobs and the ones that didn’t were in such rough shape physically that working is off the table 7/x

the guy running a ponzi scheme is a far bigger threat to society than a guy who robbed a convenience store and latter has a far better shot at being rehabilitated than the former, imo
here's my maybe kinda moderately warm take: most violent crime needs less punitive punishment and more rehabilitative work; most white collar crime is psychopath shit that should get folks punished far more severely.

Insanely cheap considering they’re gonna spend $11 billion to add tolls lanes to SR400 that nobody wants
$3.5B sounds like a lot but we’re getting 22 miles of reliable (revenue producing) transit connecting hundreds of thousands of current and future residents across 45 neighborhoods. Compare than to another megaproject the Stitch which $2B for a 3/4 mile project in one neighborhood.
Last night, Beltline officials unveiled a route for light rail along the northwest quadrant and identified station locations in the south. Plus: A $3.5B price tag. Details here: www.ajc.com/news/2025/08...

Path 2 does not stop at trans people. Banning trans people from this or that won’t help anything and so there will be a new scapegoat and then another and then another
democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either
- nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks
- concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life
literally the only 2 options

IMO a crucial ingredient in the toil of retail/restaurant life is needing the job to get by: a person with money behind them cannot have direct access to that experience
