We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

This is why I get so frustrated talking about "inference" and "learning" with AI believers. There's billions of nodes in these LLMs. There's... not that much text to train them with. You can show apparent "inference" with "memorization of sources that show inference." arstechnica.com/features/202...

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s mandatory if you want to get better

Exactly what I was saying earlier: when your movement lies all the time, it becomes made up of people who think the lies are true, and policy decisions "don't work" because they aren't dealing with reality.

Why does my brain like stupid jokes like these? Am I a dad without knowing it? ;)

Ok. Game’s out soon. Long time followers know that that means only one thing: time for a very long thread of the fantastic people behind the cool thing you’re about to play. I know this maybe feels pointed given current discourses, but I swear I’ve been doing it for over a decade.

Star Trek. We would watch reruns of the original when I was little, and TNG was family time when I was a teenager.

Started Clair Obscura: Expedition 33. The worldbuilding is so, so super sad! Unique conceit and I love the details, but wow - super sad.

Not enough Xennials at the #NoKings protest @kurtismcc.bsky.social and I went to to appreciate his sign:

nervous to go to protests? Don’t be. They will be peaceful family affairs. Go with a group, peel off if anything makes you nervous, don’t stay to the bitter end. This moment calls for all Americans to express their rights. And when some cannot, it’s important for others to stand in their place.

anti-trump rallies rule because it’s like 90% “dump the orange taco” signs and 10% one dude in a cloak holding a refrigerator box that says “TRUMP is the seventh branch of the tree of baphomet, as foretold in the lost psalms of melchior” and everyone else is just like hell yeah, brother 👍

i think it’s sad and weird that most americans will never get to take a vacation as long as a medical/parental leave of absence. and there is no earthly way anyone would be allowed to even take a leave of absence if it wasn’t mandated by law that employers had to allow it and take you back.

The made up statistics are not just a side-effect - they are also a contributing cause in this terrible ouroboros. There aren't millions of criminal undocumented immigrants in this country. Setting a goal of 3000/day is because you believe there's millions. To meet your quota, you "expand."

Huh. It's almost like you need some people in your armed forced to do things other than be warfighting-y warfighter-ers all the time. Something something tactics something something logistics. This IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY, no less.

So, @othesharon.bsky.social and I just beat Blue Prince on Day 19 on our first playthrough and - there’s a lot of unanswered questions? Does it keep going? Don’t get me wrong, we’ve loved the game… /1
