since you used cups as an example of how people learn, here's an example of AI not understanding "a glass of wine" because it doesn't "learn". it can only produce based on data input and there aren't enough pictures of me filling up a wine glass at a wedding free bar to weight the training data.

Five failures of the White House today, from Tim Snyder, author of ON TYRANNY. Unfortunately, Trump does not understand or even care about any of these, and the US is going to pay the price. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Friend who served in the Army says he’s getting messages from friends still serving saying, “I’m ashamed to be an American.” Utterly disgusting.

The author's mom was in my high school class, and is one of the most deeply kind and principled people I've known. This story of a journey in faith is so rewarding to read, and exemplifies what (I think) Jesus would want us to do. The last paragraph made me cry. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

If you play video games on the highest difficulty, that's great! 👍 But don't give gamers who play on easier difficulty a hard time about it. Everyone likes to enjoy games differently and there is no right or wrong way to play.

In 2015 this person tweeted a joke that has become more than a meme or a viral tweet. The analogy of leopards eating people's faces is an essential part of the language (and in heavy use lately, given everything). I hope Adrian Bott takes great pride in their contribution to our culture.

There are some great tips here on things you can do to help (especially, but not exclusively, if you live in the US). I wrote down 9 of them that I can realistically do. thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lon...

A cool historical fact I learned today is that globally, but especially in the Western Christian tradition, regicide is historically pretty common - between the years 600 and 1980, approximately ~14% of Western monarchs was killed, or deposed and then executed, by their subjects.

It's elementary school-level knowledge of how the US gov't works: legislative makes the laws, judicial interprets the laws, and executive carries out the laws. But he has already used executive orders to effectively make laws, and now, he has signed an order declaring only he can interpret laws. 1/2
