I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

IDK what to tell you officer, if you stop letting me break into Nick Clegg's bank accounts and steal all of his money, I can't remain a billionaire 🤷‍♀️

Morning, all

I completely forgot to share my last newsletter/blog entry 🙈 It's a more positive one that has some hope in it, despite everything else going on. Trying to make the best of things, and sometimes music helps.

PSA: Starbucks is now apparently banning their employees from wearing N95s/masks, even when they're sick. A friend of mine tested positive for COVID today and she called out sick from her Starbucks; they told her to come in TOMORROW & no masks allowed. 😬

Speaking of the well-deserved death of social media, I've started using Newsblur as my new RSS reader (had to clean up a depressingly large number of dead links, including to sites that still publish but no longer have RSS feeds) and that does still in fact provide a source of good internet

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

In case you missed it…The Celestial Seas is available to read on Netgalley and Edelweiss!

Thank you, this is a skill I've really been putting through the training montage this past year 🙏☠️

Love that Taylor Swift finally wrote Boardwalk Empire the pop song it deserved

Jennifer Armentraut: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the scone of stone and bone
King: what's that smell?
Armentraut: oh you mean that garlic smell?
Armentraut: that patented Hellmans original mouth-watering garlic aioli smell?
King:
King: yeah that smell

some mental health moogles for you, friend 💖
