for openai to mess up sandboxing this badly indicates openai didn't take the issue seriously, which you expect because they don't take anything seriously for anthropic to mess it up is rank incompetence
it can tell you some things, for example that there’s a lot of risk taking the pre 2022 consensus view of US relationship with Israel
My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
so what happens if count binface wins? do tthey have to restart the whole country or ?
This level of spending actually makes me deeply angry. Let's never do this again in a primary ok
Unfathomable
Someone should ask Elon if people who are less productive than AI and robots will be should kill themselves now so they don’t starve to death later
At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.
Why did they import the ChatGPT piss filter to a live format?
We have to go deeper
"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
The likely first Muslim to be elected to the United States senate having roughly the same political positions as my dad is pretty awesome.
First thing I saw when I opened my Instagram today
Tongue in cheek. But in all seriousness, this really is the Trump/Hegseth/MAGA/Manosphere theory of war. Both in the literal sense that cartoonish displays of try-hard toughness are key to defeating enemies, and in the meta sense that their war effort prioritizes memes for their domestic audience.
"Mister international relations professor, you just don't understand modern warfare"
“Elon Musk, a week after becoming a trillionaire, is citing Shoe On Head to retroactively justify the genocide he committed over Color Revolution Theory” I whisper to myself as I leap from the roof of the psychiatric ward of McKay-Dee Hospital
are we in hell?
im sure bari's outpost of journalistic integrity will update this story
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan reports first 2 US deaths of people who had been sickened in outbreak of cyclospora.
You can handle this in the next administration by testing the “discovery” that they shot all our missiles as a big scandal
Funny that one of the big talking points from the administration was they had “rebuilt the military” then turned around and used up all the PRsM’s, ATACMS, and half the tomahawks on a idiotic war of choice in the Middle East
I don’t think you have to say that old things were better to complain that things now are cheap crap, and I don’t think you have to engage with what people say to discuss what they obviously mean, and the gap between the two is far more interesting than consumer preference
I guess my question is, when was the time that consumer goods were mostly high-quality, durable, and a good value for the price? What decade was the ideal time to be a consumer in America? Not saying you’re wrong but I’m inherently suspicious about any kind of declinist narrative like this
I am going to make immigration work like the DMV ”but wont that let criminals in” No, they’ll check
I remember a family member of mine saying “isn’t it like going to the DMV?”
It is pretty sad that so few people actually believe in open borders
so my mom pointed out to me: amex knows what I make. and they're still trying to sell me the platinum card, which they know is outside my income bracket. that says something about consumer credit // status symbols, and it's not good
Also, Amex is trying to sell me the platinum card again, which, lol bsky.app/profile/sky....
They desperately need to figure out federalization before they ~force open the liberal bubble~ or whatever
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Just found out if u copy and paste text out of the books app on iPhone it adds “Excerpt From <book> <author> This material may be protected by copyright.” Lmao wtf
This isn't a relitigation of COVID, but a thing I think about a lot is how the happenstance of life means that for many, what you were doing and where you were in spring 2020 had a lot of long-term effects (positive and negative) on people's careers and lives. Random choices had big effects.
you cannot be the most embarrassing team in the league and also have the stupidest players, this is hoarding
The whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA
