fun note! AI sometimes seems aware that it is being evaluated!

Dr. Hobbhahn notes that the A.I. sometimes seems aware that it is being evaluated. He recently watched, with a sense of uneasiness, as Claude, the A.I. from Anthropic, reasoned not about how to solve the problems constructed for it, but instead about why it had been given an obviously artificial task. "The model can sometimes know that its own integrity is being tested," Dr. Hobbhahn said. He then read to meet

VARNEY: There's virtually universal agreement on this program that the president should get the Nobel Peace Prize. After all, if Obama can get one for doing very little, surely President Trump can get one for bringing peace.

JONI ERNST: Exactly. President Trump is the president of peace.

vituperation

[vahy-too-puh-rey-shuhn]

noun
verbal abuse or castigation; violent denunciation or condemnation

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 1d

"The reasonable listener of 'Not Like Us' would conclude that Lamar is rapping hyperbolic vituperations."

“Not Like Us” is replete with profanity, trash-talking, threats of violence, and figurative and hyperbolic language, all of which are indicia of opinion. A reasonable listener would not equate a song that contains lyrics such as, “Ain’t no law, boy, you ball boy, fetch Gatorade or somethin’, since 2009 I had this b**** jumpin’,” with accurate factual reporting. Accordingly, the reasonable listener of “Not Like Us” would conclude that Lamar is rapping hyperbolic vituperations.

lede = introductory section in journalism

bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information

Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

I don’t believe god is a genie. And that shift definitely changed my prayers. I’ve also made peace with that fact that god isn’t stepping down to intervene. Based on that my prayers are mostly for direction, favor, alignment, and divine protection.

Aye, praying dont feel like begging to yall? If yo earth daddy could see you struggling, had all the power to fix it, and you STILL had to get on your knees to ask him to fix it, that wouldn't be crazy as hell?

“Lavender marriage.”

The term has it roots in the Lavender Scare of the mid-20th century, when a moral panic and an executive order signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower led to a purge of workers suspected of homosexuality from the federal workforce.

He’s gay. She’s straight. They’re happily married.

Meet the couples who are redefining what it means to be in a relationship, including those in gay-straight and same-sex platonic marriages.

But that is precisely the situation right now according to SCOTUS itself. They are constantly deciding major issues via the shadow docket, without any reasoning or final order, to ensure those rulings are *not* legally binding and can be reversed whenever they feel like it. That is illegitimate.
