Once I was at a big settlement conference at a law firm's facility with a bunch of federal and state attorneys and the mere arrival of a simple, Au Bon Pain-style catered lunch set off endless anxious phone calls to see if they could eat a cheap chicken caesar wrap.

True story: When I was a contractor at a NASA facility I kept M&Ms on my desk. A civil servant I worked with ate a few one day. The next day I came in to find a pound bag on my desk. He wanted to "reimburse" me because he didn't want the few he ate to be seen as a gift. Anyway

i keep seeing comments where people say something like: it seems like you could use "AI" (read: LLM) to do that? and the answer is usually: we have been doing that for years, but we haven't considered using the least efficient method possible until now

Was at a conference dinner a while back and one guy said "The future is AI. It doesn't replace senior developers, but no more need for juniors." To which i replied: "Where do you think senior developers come from. Straight from the womb?" He went quiet, then wandered off to a different huddle.

BREAKING: The Second Circuit panel unanimously denies DOJ's request to stay the order granting Moshen Mahdawi's release pending his habeas proceedings. The panel notes that granting DOJ's request "would be Mahdawi's re-detention." Opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Texas has passed a law allowing the state to seize property from those "affiliated with" China and other designated countries, in a move reminiscent of the Nazi "Aryanization" laws of the 1930s, which allowed the seizure of property from Jews and its transfer to non-Jews.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

This is incredible. This computer science professor makes his students play a game that simulates the risks and repercussions of getting Long COVID, and then he's like, hey anybody want a mask? And: "approximately 95 to 100% of students who’ve played the game now wear masks in his classroom."

Came to the conclusion that there's only 3 well-defined video game genres: Kart, Warriors/Musou and Tactics. RPG? Adventure? Puzzle? FPS? Could be anything. I say something like "Animal Crossing: Tactics", "Metal Gear Warriors" or "God of War: Kart" and you know exactly what sort of game it is.

There is something morbidly funny in having the country’s top national security officers relying on a chat app that painstakingly preserves end-to-end encryption for every message, and then just slams a copy of your chat over SMTP to a random server in Israel

LLMs are not using language to tell you what they're doing. They're using statistics to put words together in a likely sequence. They parrot how humans speak. That's why it feels convincing. It's your phone's autocorrect on steroids. The same thing that thinks you want to text "ducking".

it is stories like this that remind us that AI optimists are not just delusional — they are dangerous. This is functionally no different than putting a puppet on the stand and making it say everything you want the deceased to say, except that the judge thinks it is real

Hey! Press covering Trump! The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies. He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.” Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.
