uhhh this actually reminds me a lot of how LLMs function at a basic level too - predicting tokens based on proximity & context, etc 😬 ...so we're teaching kids to read like AI & saying AI level is good enough

And for LLMs “context” is really just a vector graph of tokens with all the semantics stripped out. It’s just graphemic proximity, so I guess it’s doubly appropriate in the saddest possible way.

We all have someone for whatever reason is uniquely gifted to be our nemesis
And whether it be emotional proximity… our just good old fashioned know how
They are good at owning you
For Elon Musk… that person is Joyce Carol Oates

“Over the top, overdone, ridiculous,” is how one plastic surgeon described "Mar-a-Lago face."
But as more adhere to the aesthetic, a question emerges: In the Trump admin, is one’s proximity to power governed by a willingness to mold oneself to the MAGA look, no matter how severe the undertaking?

In your face: The brutal aesthetics of MAGA
Does proximity to power rely on a specific look?

that one was actually an earthquake, one of the largest ever in the UK since human habitation, but the reason Lincoln came down where others didn't was both proximity to the epicentre and poor design. one vault collapsed and split the entire building in half on the way down

Is there a similar story behind why Lincoln Cathedral suddenly stopped being the tallest building in the world? I was listening to a story about Strasbourg and it came up, and then evidently soon after came down.

'Proximity to drilling wells, processing plants, pipelines + other fossil fuel facilities elevates the risk of cancer, respiratory conditions, heart disease, premature birth + death, as well as posing grave threats to water supplies + air quality, + degrades land.'
Other than that, great stuff

Exclusive by me: A quarter of the world’s population lives within three miles (5km) of operational fossil fuel projects, threatening the health of more than 2bn people as well as critical ecosystems, according to first-of-its-kind research.

my political opinion is that I would judge a game negatively for its relative proximity to tim sweeney
sincerely cannot imagine being this stupid or anti-art

2/? These Bernie Bros are not friends of Black people. They are white supremacy coming from a different angle and they are using other "PoC", who have closer proximity to whiteness, as agents of their agenda. These people do not understand the Black experience, even though they benefited from it.

Did we all get played by the lure of this app? Maybe we did, but it doesn’t seem likely. Seems more like in just 24 short months the people running this app acquired the same condescending and reactionary brainworms as every other tech person with influence and (proximity to) power these days.

1/3 🧵I get what you’re saying, Sarah...but this isn’t about “proving it in court.” That...has never been the bar here.
It’s about patterns...proximity...and timelines finally lining up:
Same circles...same flights...same properties...

Just underscoring this point about proximity which has been SO OBVIOUS because, surprise surprise, the president isn't *clever*

I censor myself on here a lot— not because I am afraid of the repercussions but because if I actually let all my rage run wild it would burn down everything in near proximity.
It’s the needless suffering and the total lack of empathy from our leaders that just really makes me want to breathe fire.

American toads (Anura: Bufonidae: Anaxyrus americanus) are native to much of eastern North America. They're often in proximity to shallow water that's required for their aquatic tadpoles. On warm damp nights their high pitched mating calls often fill the air. Palmyra Michigan, 22 May 2020.

the great thing about working in any field whose function is essentially remedial is that you end up working in close proximity to bad things all the time. nobody needs a nuclear safety technician who doesn't own a nuclear reactor.
are we shaming people for having worked for companies that did ghastly shit elsewhere but far away organizationally because I'll be the first to say I ran a poop plant for a company that was/is major defense contractor and I'm pretty sure was involved with NEOM and *am* sure works with the UAE
