I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights. Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.

Giving 'em the ol' Dick Durbin... Those strongly worded letters always work.

Kurt Vonnegut man

who did this

I dunno guys, think I'm seeing a pattern here?

3 months from now you’re going to be seeing one of those DEA massive drugs haul photos except it’s hundreds of bales of uncut Kerrygold

asked my three-year-old if any of his friends from school did anything cool over spring break and he said “we don’t really talk about that kind of stuff” I guess they are strictly colleagues

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

Trump has just launched the economic equivalent of the Iraq War. fallows.substack.com/p/launching-... By me.

Cannot emphasize how just how incredibly naive and reckless this thinking is in addition to just being plain dumb. If it didn't run the risk of materially harming millions of people, this type of project would be the perfect for these windmill chasing douchebags to tackle.

Tell me your team is entirely comprised of over-confident twenty-somethings without telling me your team is entirely comprised of over-confident twenty-somethings

Just imagine the intel breaches happening right now by state actors and malevolent orgs that we are not seeing because a these mediocre clowns didn't always cc a fucking reporter

I'm sorry but going to the white house after they tried to erase the contributions of the most important player in the history of your team is coward shit

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

HE'S LITERALLY READING A SALES PITCH

We’ve been conquered by the dumbest motherfuckers

This tweet has lived in my head rent-free for seven years now and it's still as relevant as ever.

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

You come to me, on this, the day of my daughter’s rotisserie

I just read an article that pointed to a website as a good demonstration of the implementation of machine learning in art history. My friends, all the links on the project page are broken.

going to Target on Christmas Eve

@caseynewton.bsky.social Long time Platformer and Hard Fork sub here. Seems like having @garymarcus.bsky.social on HF to discuss AI is a no brainer. Can you make this happen?

A little louder for the folks in the back: The development of vaccines is likely the greatest achievement of mankind. www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

I’m trying to imagine the bubble of amoral corporate douchery you have to live in to think that saying “we guard against unnecessary care” is better than just shutting the fuck up.

Yeah I really wish people could just agree that 2016 was the ball game. Rs also say "most important election," will pretend that the Vance-Shapiro race is existentially important, but the "fill the Scalia and Ginsburg seats" election was the ball game.

As a long-suffering Bears fan, I cannot emphasize enough how insane it sounds when Steeler fans complain about Tomlin and grumble about moving on from him.

Is this good? #ChicagoBears #bears

Spent a bit of time over the last few weeks looking for some new ideas for Thanksgiving. Always amusing to see things like "Roast [insert vegetable] at 425 for 10-15 minutes until carmelized or golden brown." LOL. Sure, they're going to go great with the recipe that calls for one clove of garlic.

One can only hope to find somebody as committed to your cause as Matt Eberflus is committed to losing challenges. #bears

This always flipped the "bozo bit" for me if it ever came up in conversation.

An absolute treasure and one of my favorite building in the loop. Only surpassed by Burnham & Root’s other gem, the Rookery, a few blocks away.

The browser OAuth client implementation provided by Bluesky doesn't work for Chrome extensions as it uses APIs (e.g., localStorage) that aren't available for use in extensions. I opened a feature request w/ the project to add support, but here is an example that works now: github.com/kevinmcmahon...

A little bit of a "Hello, world!" post, a little bit of #woodworking content, and a little bit of testing out an automatic alt text generator Chrome extension that I'm cooking up.
