This is one thing I’m sort of stuck on RE LLMs is that once you’ve incorporated the sum total of human writing into the training data—and gotten pretty good results!—what is next, we just have the one humanity

honestly, as much as I want the platform to have a sustained userbase, it would probably wouldn't be the worst thing if the type of person to get furiously mad at an anodyne T&S messaging involving scams and possible financial crimes ragequit the site

Absolute king shit from Scranton Joe

I would like to see the same effort that was put into identifying Charlottesville and J6 Nazis put into identifying ICE agents and for identical reasons

A frustrating thing for me about “defund the police” was that the actual police were onboard for like 50% of it, some of that stuff could have gotten done!

My big brain idea is you ban qualified immunity and then institute a malpractice insurance regime, the bad cops get priced out of the job

an achievable short-term goal for police reform, I think, would be the passing of state laws that say that if you're canned from one law enforcement body for misconduct you can't be hired at another law enforcement body.

Why can’t I miss, just once
