In the hope.
Oh and not necessarily to cause a global collapse or anything, but to fuck with FOSS? Absolutely.
Prolly. Not in any way that's really an outright "hack" or jailbreak, just creatively applied use of the LLM.
You also get some big, goofy swings that sometimes pay off, that no big money production would necessarily back. There's a lot to love there, and there's a lot to laugh at as well. It's one of those rare types of things that will laugh at itself while still making something joyful.
So many good things about a B-movie. You get the occasional A-lister stepping down to buy a summer cottage or pay a tax bill, it's always a treat! Yes, some of them are garbage made to be sold in a different market, but some are made with absolute passion.
This is the thing a lot of people, even those my age and slightly older, don't realize: the B-movie is a time honored tradition and it's a freaking shame they aren't more respected.
No cheating. Your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist. In Uzo I trust.
[speaks in Palpatine] Bring me their daughters.... Kyehhhh! Nyehhhh!
I am suddenly super glad I missed that guy's talk.
Die Hard 3, was another wasn't it? A lesser known appearance of his that is a favorite of mine (and I am quite serious) was Atlantic Rim, a B-movie in every sense, where he yawned his way through every scene but still out-performed every one of the bunch around him. RIP, Graham Greene.
Lol, as I'm rewatching Billions, @mcuban.bsky.social makes me laugh every time I see him pop up there. They have other very wealthy/business famous people on there, but Mark Cuban is the only one who ever looks like he's enjoying life.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Even the visual tone of their propaganda doesn't change much.
The cruelty is the point, darling.
Keep it together, lads.
Russia is going to continue to run destabilizing operations throughout the world. I wouldn't be surprised that the current state of cultural affairs in the UK is, at least in part, being guided or exacerbated by Russian interference.
Hell, Union, come on! Get some shots on goal!
Now I just need Union Berlin to kick hell out of Dortmund
No mistake from Milner. 🥶🎯
Love seeing Pep sad. Well done, Gulls!
Come on, Brighton!
Perfection.
Deep cut burn!
Gnonto got straight up screwed on that one. He attacked the ball! Even got a toe on!

Got um 🔥
Leeds and Newcastle are keeping it fairly interesting
I did not realize American rail whiskey was that popular up north.
Tragic miss.
SIX MINUTES, WOLVES! LETS GO LETS GO!
Hey, I'll take it, Wolves. Little more of that please.
I wake up before a lot of my east coast compatriots and sometimes I have a perverse urge to like, perch and wait for the first BlueSky post of the day and then send an all caps good morning BlueSky reply like I'm the ghost of Robin Williams.
Went out to walk the dog, came back, Wolverhampton is now down by 2. Went happened to my trolley, people?
War. [Smokes in Existentialist] War never changes.
My wife would say the same.
Hwang hwang went the trolley.
I think of it less like being a fan of a losing Premier League team and more like preemptively picking the Champions team I support.
Watching the Wolves lose a third one in the PL.
Today’s piece is “Donald Trump’s Kink is Firing Black Women - Even when he can’t get it up. (By “it” of course I mean the legal standing.”😁 All about Trump’s incredibly obvious effort to fire every prominent Black woman that he can… even if he can’t.

Me, with all my funding, in reaction:
An SSA source tells me chief data officer Charles Borges sent out his involuntary resignation email to select offices within the agency a short while ago, but then a few minutes later the email disappeared from the inboxes of those who received it with no explanation.
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
Weirdly, I would be into this.

Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com

I had a moment just now where I took a second and objectively looked at everything I've managed to do in the last 9-10 months and I'm kind of stunned.
I feel like something similar happened to Ho Chi Minh, but I could be remembering wrong.
It's strange when you have some successes, but don't actually feel much joy over them. Maybe I'm just bad at celebrating? Maybe I'm always wired to chase some goal that can't be satisfied?

Reminds me... Need to email and offer to help for 17!
Lol the male gaziness of the camera in Billions is truly hilarious. There's an entire scene that cuts between Damien Lewis and Malin Akerman that features her ass and legs predominately for 36% of the scene. No such thing as subtle exploitation, boys.
I'll cover the Incoherent Ideology demographic, if needed.
Yeah I really wish RFKs brain worm would fuck off and stop trying to get all eugenicist about me and my fellow auties.
Lol. No, I'm sorry, but it turns out speaking like Dory doesn't help things re: whale communication.
Heh. Anyone else remember that episode of Billions where they thought they were on the Limitless drug but they were all just on meth? Sometimes I think LLMs do that same thing to some folks.
Hey, @cascoinfoundation.org you ever collaborate with other folks on projects? I've been kicking around an idea...
So, I told myself I was still on vacation. Except for a couple of phone calls, lol. Oh and except for this new idea I had... Which I'm kind of interested in... And will be exploring. Shit I'm working again aren't I?
My favorite part of social media are the silly games.

Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what? I’m running for California State Assembly! Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.
Ttrpgs are awesome. Hard to find a good group who prefers roleplay in the game and relaxed fun around the table, tho.

The sheer amount of compute this burns is wild.
Thank you! Man, it was great getting to interface in the same space. Next year we have to drag @x0d1.bsky.social and build an extra day or two for fun stuff.
MANOS!
I'll be working to clip my speech from the conference stream and put it up on YouTube sometime this week.
Well, it took 30ish hours of travel and delays, but I am finally home (not just in my state) from Queens. It was a wonderful trip. I had a fantastic time at @hope.net and got to meet some truly skilled and cool folks from all different walks of life.
That's a great example!
This!
And if you want an example of how LLMs perpetuate that myth of ease sometimes, ask for something wild like Sam Altman's claim. "how would we do a Dyson swarm around the solar system?" It'll give you a one or two page bullet pointed list that breezes past everything that makes it impossible.
Complete agreement here. I suspect a lot of people in positions of power (which tends to isolate them internally, even if externally they're very well connected) are deluding themselves into thinking seamlessness isn't the result of practically invisible systems that connect all of us.
This is why I enjoyed 404Media's magic links login. Lot less hassle.
Because, yanno, people actually have feelings. Consent REALLY matters to humans. So, maybe extend people the same courtesy some of us feel inclined to extend to the machine.
Eh, I could make an argument that he's being kind to a machine that doesn't have emotions or feelings of any kind, but, truthfully, I don't blame people for practicing informed consent when they aren't certain a thing is sentient or not. I wish more people defaulted to "I should ask" with people.
Lol, that is ludicrous. I'll grant them, tho, it's at least a real combative engagement between two opponents. It isn't "Big man fall down."
TIL "Slap Fighting" is now some sort of league sport. As a former boxer, this shit made me laugh so hard. Someone please just kill the algorithm already.
Some part of that NYC tech industry has to wanna hire me for a few years, lol. That's the part that they don't seem terribly keen on, sadly.
I star in this new spooky dramatic podcast, Havoc Town. It's out today, get it wherever you download! Loved working with Jewel Staite, dream come true :) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
I'd come work in NYC after visiting Queens for the @hope.net conference.
I really hate to put a damper on the people who keep riding the "Trump will do something about Russia!" cycle. He won't. Ever.
Then there's your oven. That's got power or gas going to it right? More people helping you make your bread. Did you read how to make bread in a book? Add editors, copywriters, researchers, and the author to your list. You starting to see how everything you do is aided by people you don't know?
It's probably involved a dozen or more individuals at different points in the process. Farmers, farmhands, processing plant workers, truck drivers, van drivers, stock clerks at the store, cashier at the store, store management that selected the product for the shelves, and you... But...
Most people don't have any conception of how difficult it is to accomplish anything because they've taken logistics and society for granted. Baking bread is an example I like. For the flour to be made, shipped to a store, stocked on a shelf, bought by a consumer, and turned into bread...
I'm not a philosopher at all, but there's a really great section of Anathem that, iirc, directly makes the argument that sense impressions can't be trusted. It's been a number of years, but I seem to recall it felt fairly convincing to my laybrain.
But, it was necessary. Time consuming, soul sucking, and totally necessary.
When I was working on a research project about violent crime and its corollaries, no joke, the cleaning and formatting of data was utterly brutal.
It's like a Lions fan saying they'll win the Stanley Cup this year and every year after. Yes, the Lions are a football team. Yes, the Stanley Cup is a hockey trophy. That should give you an idea of how ridiculous Sam Altman was being.
Looking to speak to someone in the DC National Guard on background. Message me on signal at marisakabas.04
And, mind, I knew they weren't exactly kind or fair to the contestants. Poor pay, excessive control, manipulation of public perception, etc. But I didn't know about the suicides, the ironclad arbitration clauses, and the outright cruelty from the producers.
Oookay, I just found out how bad reality TV shows are to the contestants. I guess that's one guilty pleasure I can cross off the list. youtu.be/GPNPs_a-WNM?...
Damn, Ohio is lucky!
