I generally go with one of my favorite general multipurpose curses, stolen from Bill Murray in Ghostbusters:
"Mother pus bucket!"

That was enlightening.
He also likes wrestling and Stryper's most recent music.

Be right back, I have to go stalk that guy and downvote every comment he's ever made...

I mean... it's also possible that Elon and his cronies will shut down a government program that deserves to be shut down.
If that happens, it will be due to sheer luck.

I hate to disappoint this guy but there's no earthly reason for me to read Yglesias at this point or "engage with his points."
He has done more than enough to lose the privilege of my attention.

Anybody that thought Trump or MAGA was going to be portrayed in a positive light on Saturday Night Live clearly hasn't been paying attention for the last... um... ever.

Sort of related - but why does Alec Baldwin need to be doing a reality show at all?

Some real "you say that like it's a good thing, Steve" energy here.

I don't think these people are against foreign aid specifically, it's that they are totally lacking in empathy.

There's a certain sector of Americans that are against anything that they perceive as taking their money and giving it to anyone they might not approve of... whether that's people on welfare or "not 'Muricans" or other unsavory types.
Fact that the IRS is close behind isn't an accident.

Because they've never actually wanted "less government."
What they want is less social services, less safety net, less benefits that go to anyone that didn't vote for them.

You're a disgrace.

The books are great. Highly recommended. (Also there's a lot more story to them than there is in the series)

I was rooting for the prosecutions but I felt the same way.
Must have said it on the old site a dozen times: no celebrating until he's actually behind bars.

Ol' George has been a lot quieter through all this than Jamaal Bowman would have been, I think.

I think it's fair to suggest that our pal Kathy wasn't super-devastated when her boss was forced out and she got a promotion...
I imagine their working relationship might be... awkward.

I kind of think she's terrified of opening the door to Mayor Andrew Cuomo.

Did Cardinal Dolan stop stroking Trump for long enough to sign?
comment in response to
post
I guess that's fair but that also seems like one of those arguments that's really safe to make because he knew damn well that nothing was going to come of it.

The first* billionaire to utter the words, "Y'know what? I have enough money" will immediately be thrown out of their club.
* Because this is a thing that has never happened.

You really don't get how "even if sometimes wrong" is a deal-breaker for what you see as an education platform?
LLMs are really useful for a lot of things - but not for what you're selling here.

That's nice for you I guess.
I'd much rather listen to Kay and Cone and O'Neill.

Nobody wants this.
Baseball fans want their home team announcers.

If you treat an LLM like an infallible font of all earthly knowledge, you're making the same mistake.
That doesn't help you outperform anyone.
It creates yet another person easily led astray by bad data and jumping to incorrect conclusions.
comment in response to
post
Unfortunately, they were no good at drawing any conclusions from those reports.
Or even spotting when something was wrong with them.
They had no context. No experience. No knowledge of what the numbers MEANT.

At my last job, we had some intimidatingly-brilliant data analysts.
They were in charge of managing all our different feeds, aggregating the data into useful reports.
comment in response to
post
Problem is, the person with the degree - or even just a little bit of experience in whatever field you're talking about - will know when the LLM returns nonsense.
