With AGI overwhelming the news again, I repeat: There is no path to intelligence via LLM. But an LLM botnet choking the internet, or someone using a local model to attack aging infrastructure, are both real risks and too late to prevent. Pay no attention to the bogeymen, the harm is here today.
In 2012 I took a comp ling course that went deep into language models as AI. The professor dropped a quote that I think about probably once a week now: “building a computer model of language and expecting intelligence is like building a computer model of the ocean and expecting to get wet”
New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

I remember the early days of @firefox.com, after #netscape ended. anyways, I #uninstalled #firefox over a year ago and moved on to a browser that wasn't shoving AI bloatware down my throat. I don't care what kind it is, I don't want any AI trash.
We believe an open web starts with choice. That includes AI models. We’re excited to be partnering with Mistral to bring open-source AI to Firefox Smart Window beta and expand access to France, with French-language support.

Anyway, the reason people shout at trans people about who they vote for – rather than candidates, or actually significant chunks of the electorate – is because we are people you can easily punch down at. It's that simple. It's purely a power exercise, and feeling like you are doing something useful.
1/Emily‘s funding for her gender affirming care ran out when she was 18 but she still has another year of college to go so for another year I am financially and emotionally responsible for her. Hence why I am selling anything and everything that isn’t essential to me some items I really care about.

‘The Matrix’ creator Lilly Wachowski on J.K. Rowling and the new ‘Harry Potter’ series: “She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support ‘Harry Potter,’ you’re supporting trans genocide.” variety.com/2026/tv/feat...
... And ruined a country forevermore. Case in point? The current president is an extreme right-wing, Opus Dei, neo Nazi
worth remembering that today is also the anniversary of the US backed coup in Chile that overthrew democratically elected socialist Salvador Allende and replaced him with the brutal dictator Augusto Pinochet, who murdered thousands of communists and leftists and jailed tens of thousands

I've finally caught up with TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA, which is both an absurd, impressionistic portrait of 80's slasher violence AND an incredibly sensitive portrayal of sexual vulnerability. Gah, Schoenbrun keeps working on such a high level. Loved it. www.patreon.com/filmcrithulk...

Vaccines save lives. The current US administration engaging in eugenics doesn't want you to believe that.
