This is the most modern technology I've seen her use in these videos. Do they not have some goats around to eat this grass?

For many of the tasks where they're being pushed, LLMs' effect on student learning and worker productivity is roughly the same as that of alcohol

Max Kennerly @maxkennerly.bsky.social · 5h

IMHO, LLMs will be an economic negative for years.

They'll do a worse job than humans,

but will still replace humans because they're cheaper for employers,

but really they're costlier, it's just that lots of costs get externalized to society by our horrible energy/tax policies.

Lose-lose-lose.

The Real AI Risk is ‘Meh’ Technology That Takes Jobs and Annoys Us All

While AI doomsday scenarios dwell on the risks posed by superintelligent robot overlords, one Nobel-Prize winning economist fears a more mundane possibility.

This combination of words is striking me as mordantly funny this morning, @tomtomorrow.bsky.social.

So thankful that dudes without game now have the option of driving all of our energy bills up to come up with devastating lines like it was nice to meet you

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

You can’t hate fascists and use AI slop generators. They’re the same thing: total destruction of truth at scale.

There is an IRL troll in the bar (30-something gay urban dude telling salacious tales to a group of 50-something suburban straight women)

They're in the palm of his hand!

When Cubs fans call Milwaukee "Wrigley North": Logical, Instinctive, Ultimately not creative

When Brewers fans call Wrigley "Cudahy South": Kooky, illogical, clearly more charming

My favourite Sopranos character is probably “Big Pussy” because his name is reminiscent of a large vagina

People love to shout "Poor ol' Johnnie Ray!" and then it all goes to hell.

It's kinda fun to be in a bar when "Come On, Eileen" comes on and a bunch of enthusiastic drunks realize they can't sing along with the verses.

College Football fans are always like "Rutgers hasn't suffered a loss like this on the same day that North Carolina kicked 5 FGs since 2019. This is so historic! What an incredible Saturday night!"

Kind of a funny soundtrack (and song title) as I drive out to celebrate a Brewers victory.

Disney is saddened at the passing of Major League and Brocktoon star Bob Uecker at the age of 90 years old. Uecker, pictured below at the age of (Jesus Christ) 49 years old, gradually melted in front of numerous generations as an athlete, sportscaster and Andre the Giant choking victim.

Bob Uecker ("George Owens") gives fatherly advice to Rob Stone (a teenage Marilyn Manson) ("Kevin Owens", no not that Kevin Owens, but that's funny) on Brocktoon (aka Mr. Belvedere) (1980 - 1985)

Ted Perry was clearly in that last Brewers crowd shot.

Bah, I won't make it for a big celebration outburst. I'll stay home until the good thing happens.

C h r i s n a @chrisna.bsky.social · 13h

Oof. If the Brewers get another run here, I might have to hop in the car...

Brewers taking game five as it’s broadcast on a JumboTron during the final Platinum Boys concert ever…. this has the makings of an all-time Milwaukee moment

The Brewers should just introduce a musical tradition for every inning.

C h r i s n a @chrisna.bsky.social · 14h

Ok, here in the 7th the crowd was just treated to "Roll Out the Barrel"- maybe that will do the trick.

C h r i s n a @chrisna.bsky.social · 14h

The Sausage Race will animate the crowd and the Brewers will score three runs in the bottom of the 6th.
