Like I don't understand how these people have infinite confidence in these tools without ever even testing them. You can dump a paper into an LLM and ask for a summary, but you can't KNOW that the summary is accurate without reading the paper and you can't rely on it without doing that a bunch.

The AI bros are the ones who thought the stories you could get with your name in them were the greatest books ever written.

Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO: -Jared Moskowitz -Gil Cisneros -Dan Meuser -John McGuire -William Timmons -John James Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business. We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.

First, they took away our ability to satirize. Then, they took reductio ad absurdum. What have they left us? What?

TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.

What’s wild is that only a few years ago, “prediction markets” had a whole different name and you used to have to go to Reno or Atlantic City to participate, otherwise it was a crime. Now we can’t even regulate them.

Can we ask the monsters to save us from themselves? Maybe. Even Godzilla got a redemption arc.

David Roberts@volts.wtf · last wk.

Everyone wants to yell at Democrats or "the left" but the plain fact is that Republicans are the only ones with the power to immediately save us from this nightmare. Every day they choose not to do so.

"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens

The pro-peptide stacked FDA advisory committee voted to lift the ban for BPC-157, as expected. This ban lifting is baseless and will give the public a sense of legitimacy for a peptide with no clinical trial data to support safety or efficacy. Pathetic.

Thanks to Scrooge, we think of Ebenezer as a nasty, mean, pinched name. But at Dickens's time it was, maybe, old-fashioned, but nothing worse than that. One of my own ancestors, from the late 1700s, was named Ebenezer Cheney. A perfectly fine name in its time, but quite villainous-sounding now!
