Hell of a way to spend one's Saturday.
Typically when we anthropomorphize an institution, we’re attributing its leaders actions to the institution. I’d love to see a single instance of a college dean shouting at a guest speaker. It would be great if the people killing us weren’t so stupid and shit at writing.
We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.
Now imagine if we paid an army-sized amount of public servants 6 figures and a pension to *not* wear a sidearm but also to garden our urban spaces 🤯. Alas, how could we ever afford such things, when we’re so busy defunding cancer research…

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.

For a bunch of manbabies trying to posture as peak masculinity, it's legitimately surprising how consistently cunty this admin is.
At this point, the Trump administration’s complete hatred for Biden and Obama is going to lead them to reinventing socialism just to have some difference in policies to prior Dems.

Why is my brain the way it is, ensuring that the one thing I get done today is following up and listening this podcast. *talks about current attrocities* "This was all preventable." *blames the excesses of The Left like "defund LE" and "correctly taking Trump's border sec goals as bad faith".*

There’s also the collective delusion that American society hasn’t changed since 1950. See also: we cannot fathom not singing God Bless America or not having stealth bomber fly-overs at football games - “it’s always been this way” - despite being a 9/11 reactionary change.
Thomas Jefferson’s brains would’ve exploded out of his eye holes if he learned that 250 years later 1) this nation they created out of a lark was still around, and 2) the state could break into your buggy without writ and send you first to another state and then another nation.

Seems like the joy was from procedurally generated art, which is/could be a different tech evolutionary path than natural language interface (which more standard ML was getting closer to). It's genuinely interesting that even in your example, the interface and the doing is getting munged together.
Still not sure “you can just talk to the computer” is meaningfully true when it has no cognition and when it’s so easy for it to spin bullshit. I “can talk to” my dog but I’m not too interested in its summary of immigration law or its art on the meaning of friendship.
There's an element of the disastrous tech-brain that I don't think is typically called out. Why would you ever want to generate encyclopedia-style articles or diagram at run-time? It's such a complete misunderstanding of knowledge, or history, or thought to want bespoke on-demand info like this.
It’s like you’re talking to a PhD in the field.

Maybe the biggest civic duty Biden could do would be a nightly fireside chat where he just reads Trump transcripts in his Centrist-triggering elderliness. Just read them out loud. No commentary.
The article breezes through similar notions but somehow misses them as important markers. Patriarchy cages men as much as women. You don’t need 4000 words to articulate that. You just need Democrats brave enough to say the truth even when it is going to be hammered as “identity politics.”
For real though have you ever read or listened to an expert talk about feminism and patriarchy? Like, actually — not just people talking about people talking about? When men are freed from societal norms, they are freed to have whatever kinds of sex and relationships they desire.
I wonder what it's like for Mark Zuckerberg that he has access to virtually unlimited amounts of capital and the best engineers in the world and yet hasn't managed to launch an innovative product from scratch since 2004. Deep down, it must eat at him.

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.
Whether it’s a MAGA supporter assassinating a Minnesota state senator or a MAGA supporter attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, political violence has come—if not technically, at least in a broad sense—from both sides. The weary American public asks Democrats to tone down their angry rhetoric.
