It’s pretty funny how a core aspect of Gustave’s brand has become only running one point of sale and being 100% in the weeds at all times.

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.

Women are lagging behind on going bankrupt on DraftKings, drinking themselves to death, and fist-fighting anyone who looks at them funny on the subway but they can catch up.

"It is difficult to imagine a more inherently unstable regime than one based literally in the viewing habits of one dim and declining television addict. It is also difficult to imagine what horrors an administration whose only principle is the creation of self-serving spectacle might be capable of"

As this clip makes the rounds tonight low key the funniest part (not that Ted Cruz getting pantsed isn’t hilarious) is Carlson making his guest sit in a chair 50% lower than his chair.

If (when!) this score holds, 25% of Colorado’s wins will have been against the Nats.

The Nats better get some pitching out there in the eighth; if you lose to the Rockies by 10, you die in real life.

Forgot to take a pic but I voted this afternoon at Mount Vernon precinct and then poll greeted for Jay Jones for a few hours. Seeing friends and neighbors out in force voting in a primary while all this [does Kermit arms] is happening in the background, well, you love to see it.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

The em dash supposedly being a “tell” for AI generated text does sort of give away the game on the enormous amount of work stolen from journalists and news organizations that these things were trained on
