You made this happen, ass hole

Most people in Silicon Valley are not white and almost none are black, and that explains a lot of Elon Musk and the tech right broadly

I admire her commitment to the grift tbh

We need to gatekeep the Talmud

It occurs to me that that tumblr post about the CEA reading study goes a long way to explaining Peterson’s popularity. Especially this part:

POV: you’re a french fry

In addition to what everyone's said, the whole reason campus protests get "uncivil" is that being "civil" cannot overcome administrators or trustees simply deciding not to listen.

Reconstructionist Jews explicitly reject the idea of Jews as the chosen people and modify prayers to not say we are. Zionism is still one of the 7 official core values of Reconstructionism. “Zionists think they’re the chosen people” is a minor reason at best for Zionist colonialism and brutality.

I don’t know what’s worse, that the New York Times ran this or that the experts were probably trying to say that “young Chines women” have small fingers because they are children

John Fetterman’s alma mater

Conservatives and many liberals have convinced themselves that Iran and Hamas have an organized, transnational network that is directing college protests, because they cannot imagine that anyone would genuinely care about something

Trying to get the nuance right, but this is a big part of why most people think ChatGPT is impressive. It is better at reading and much, much better at writing than the average person.

This is a poor excuse for journalism from a reporter who is clearly expressing her discomfort with the fact that people don’t like Israel

This is really interesting! This is the longest-distance remote software update ever done in human history lol. Voyager is currently 25 billion kilometers or 167.34 AU away from Earth!

All NSF GRFPs to students choosing to attend Harvard in the Fall were just terminated

Yikes

Is there any other major religion that plagiarized another one like Christianity plagiarized Judaism

The highest turnout in off-year elections is from the same group of people who like Andrew Cuomo

a lot of people have this reflexively dismissive and contemptuous attitude towards this technology to the point of refusing to even learn how it works, which is going to be a real problem as this stuff improves, because you are going to need to understand (a little about) how it works to spot it

AI’s water consumption is mostly a design choice. They use open-loop evaporative cooling because it’s cheaper, but closed-loop cooling (where the water is heated and cooled but doesn’t escape the system) is definitely doable at scale.

Israel is a Nazi country for Nazis and if you support it you are one too

I’ve been experimenting with AI-generated code and what I’ve found is that code completions are pretty useful since they mean I have to type less, but it’s not good enough at writing complex code to justify the time needed to verify and debug it.

Trump tried to sneak the controversial measure in, but after far-right Republicans tanked the larger bill, the nonprofit provision disappeared.

it really does make me sick me when US-brained liberals pretend gaza protests stopped after their election, implying people were only pretending to care about genocide to hurt biden & harris. there's big protests going on all the time, they just stopped paying attention

In 2021 Kathy Manning tried to get a student expelled from her PhD program because she tweeted mean things about Zionists

Gen Alpha is being indoctrinated into fascism on TikTok, which means they’re going to start calling Jews “Christ-unalivers”

Nineteen months in and they're still letting the IDF write their copy:

Must be nice to be able to go to a hospital and get treatment without fearing that it will be bombed to ground or that the doctors will be summarily executed

And this strategy of convincing the public has mostly failed

Jewish philanthropy has long been a major supporter of the field of genocide studies, which is why it’s breaking the brains of so many Zionists that most scholars of genocide say that Israel is committing one.

Which is in fact something Henry Ford did!

i am experiencing trauma

And for a different perspective, here's a guy who was actually arrested and has a giant target on his back saying it's important not to run in fear

It may turn out that foundational LLMs being developed at a time when corporate DEI was popular embedded some basic anti-racism in them at a level that it can't be trained or prompted out

the real solution is to win the presidency and use the executive branch as a political weapon to the maximum degree possible

Absolutely cooked.

There are many signs that say “Queers for Palestine” and Adams is being dishonest and saying that means the same thing as “Gays for Hamas”

“Mind your own business” is a culturally moderate position

Two state solution? Yeah OK, we should turn the whole IDF into liquid or gas

Police can question you and — even if you say nothing — they're allowed to testify about your "demeanor" and "body language" during questioning. Most judges will allow this as a form of expert testimony. That's why STFU is not enough. You need to explicitly say "I invoke my 5th amendment rights"
