The idea that the DNC knows why Trump won is absurd on its face
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

yeah, this is a great, humanitarian, noble thing they created from all of our writing they stole
Anthropic handed the WSJ an AI-operated vending machine—the machine could chat with customers, and made purchasing & price-setting decisions—as what Anthropic calls a stress test, and they’re spinning this as an insightful success that customers could convince the machine to drop prices to $0
AI ran our office vending machine for several weeks. It lost hundreds of dollars, gave away a PlayStation, bought a live fish—and taught us a lot about AI agents, writes Joanna Stern.

I have a weird question for the #bird people on here. Do you think someone could tell that a book was pooped on specifically by a sparrowhawk (or perhaps hawks generally) just from the feces? I'm looking at a 16th c. case where witnesses claim books were pooped on specifically by sparrowhawks!

I used to do a thing on the other app where you describe a person you're holiday shopping for and I tell you a really good book they would like (usually history but other ones too). Y'all want to do that this year? Comment if so. 🎄
