My take for a bit has been that AI is like open source: it will be good for consultants who can provide custom solutions, but still a lot of steps between idea -> powerpoint -> in prod project.

Jeffries has a skill that the top congressional Democrats have and yet continues to illude Republicans: the ability to count.
btw, in case you're curious and unaware, an exact 21/21 flip - with a margin this tight - is a huge flex on Jeffries' part and a gigantic fuck-you to Mike Johnson, so perhaps put some respect on his name the next time you utter it

Look, I'm right here.

There is a story here that deserves to be told in its entirety, just for its core literary depiction of what, exactly, Richard Dawkins is.

My favorite anarchism story is the guy (always a guy) on Twitter who went on a long rant about how all the criticisms of anarchism had already been solved and you can't make them anymore because the two anarchists you never heard of discussed it in a meetings a few years back and hashed it out.

An uncomfortable thought is that the artist, in order to be successful, must in crude terms manipulate us. They must craft for us things that will engage our emotions and move us to feeling, to change the shape of our soul. These basic tools are the same stuff that a malign actor uses for their ends
one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

(i was not in the East Bay for the post Grant dynamics so only speaking to the things I saw with relative proximity, but yes you could go back to 1999 WTO and ask what strategic or tactical goals were achieved by smashing Starbucks' windows)

During the post Ferguson actions, local black bloc folks regularly smashed windows and got into street fights with older folks who tried to stop them.
That this has remained a point of debate or thing to defend amongst online folks is baffling.

You're getting more Lester Freamon brained by obsessing about the money.

I'm getting more and more Lester Freamon-brained the further we get into everyone being obsessed with who exactly is in the emails, and nothing being asked about the money
Many multi-billion fund managers aren't worth that.Unlike public at large, you should point out what very clearly was happening and why ppl invested in a *nobody*(hi Leon). Would rather read about that than minister of agriculture of Tanzania "implicated" because someone wrote his name in one email
