Similar to asbestos or unexploded munitions, the fallout of the LLM era will persist long after the apps are abandoned, because their outputs have been snuck into the corpus by copy-pasting fools. The longer chatbots force themselves into every workflow, the longer it will take to decontaminate.

We're never going back to the 90s or the 00s or the 2010s just like we're never going back to our parents and grandparents 60s or 50s or 40s.

Democrats are racking their brains trying to find the "Joe Rogan of the left" while doing everything they can to defeat people like Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who actually possess the skills they're so desperately looking for.

Sorry to post about this again but when the New York Times spends 99% of its time complaining about extremism from this group or that group but then is like damn good job bombing Iran, shouldn’t they correctly be labeled political extremists jeopardizing sensible moderate political discourse?

if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed: solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future. this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

Heck yeah, comptroller guy. I need to see 1000% more “our liberation is bound up in each other” from my fellow mayonnaise-Americans. Because it’s not just about my rights- nobody’s free til we’re all free.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

This is absolutely insane shit to write down and publish. The left scared her. This might beat allll the other NYT headlines. Truly spectacular. The GOP banned abortion, the GOP said they would prosecute doctors providing abortions, the 6 Republican appointed SCOTUS judges overturned Roe.

Edge gluing lumber is an old trick used to make doors, table tops, counters, and cutting boards. Scaled down and it makes some unique patterns for some pencil/utensil boxes. If its thin you can use some 1/8th cut offs to make a box liner. www.galdrecraft.com/product/uten...

I’m thinking about how Anthony Bourdain didn’t have any accusations against him, but his response was that he failed nonetheless. If the women who worked under him didn’t feel safe going to him for help, he said he failed to create a safe environment.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

TERFism causes genuine cognitive impairment. Can you imagine being so delusional obsessed with an imaginary threat from a persecuted minority that you’re genuinely unable to recognize that you yourself are breaking the law and doing the thing you accuse them of?

Congress has not formally declared war since 1942, 83 years ago. Look at all the war the US has done in the past 83 years. Very obviously, it long long ago stopped requiring congressional approval for war according to its own constitution.

At the dawn of the nuclear age, the US embarked on a propaganda effort called “Atoms for Peace” to change the way the public viewed the new nuclear technology, emphasizing non-military uses. As part of this push, the US gave Iran its first nuclear reactor and supplied the uranium for its operation.

Honestly "all triggered by the Iranian revolution of 1979" is the type of description so precisely misleading that it could not have arisen by ignorance, it has to be coming from someone who is wholly familiar with what preceded the 1979 revolution and is willfully lying about it.

Exactly. People like JD NEED you to quote-dunk to disseminate their trash. And when you do that, you're not getting off a sweet burn; you're being his volunteer street team. Good on everyone for seeing through the bullshit. We know their playbook by now, and oughta act like it.

I’m old enough to remember that George Clooney originally made the film GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK—which we just saw reenacted on CNN—as a critique of the effort to silence those who opposed the Iraq War. Time is a flat circle, and I feel so very old…

I'm not going to do a global political analysis right now. I am going to tell you that I'm just old enough to remember the last time we had this same stupid fucking war, and tell anyone under 30: Do not enlist in the military. They will ruin your life and they do not care. Please don't do it.

it will get papered over, but trump briefing johnson and thune but not schumer or jefferies is another example of congress having essentially given up on any pretense of oversight — this would not be in any way acceptable to republicans if the situation were reversed.

In a more serious country, unilaterally withdrawing from the JCPOA would have immediately ended Trump's first presidency & destroyed the GOP's reputation on national security policy for a generation 🧐

What I really hate about literally everything with this administration and it's bullshit right now is that nothing, NONE OF IT, is for any real reason. Just dismantling shit and blowing up shit just cause. And that makes me furious at the people who thought letting this fool back in office was ok.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

democrats must fervently, and in absolute terms, oppose war with iran. the issue can’t just be framed as “trump didn’t go through the proper channels!” regardless of procedure or legality, it is an immoral, stupid, and disastrous outcome for millions. it must be opposed, NOW.
