my pie opinion is that i can't wait to make this, which is basically a pecan pie on top of a pumpkin pie www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/pump...
Pumpkin Pecan Pie
With this pumpkin pecan pie mash-up, you can have both pumpkin and pecan pie in a single slice. It’s smooth, spiced, and custardy, while also boasting a gooey-but-still-crunchy pecan topping. Make one...

the AskBaking and BakingFail subreddits are full of people who either "just asked chatgpt" or followed a "recipe" from some rando on tiktok that's clearly AI
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

americans can't wait to spend 48 hours in a corseted ball gown (flight delayed, canceled, rescheduled, sat on the tarmac for 3 hours, took 2 hours longer than usual because had to fly at 8,000 ft, had to circle the airport, had to wait 3 hours for a gate) to hear their pedo uncle say the n-word
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

as someone with a fair amount of family in Venezuela this makes me feel pretty sick to my stomach!
On Monday, the terrorism designation against Maduro takes effect. This doesn't mean the U.S. has legal authority to bomb Venezuela, but the White House thinks it does.

Illegal or not, the damage will have been done by the time anyone does anything about it.

haberman, wolff, lizza, who knows how many others. just a whole institution of journalists sitting on information until they can make a bigger payday by publishing a book or substack. imagine if woodward and bernstein had held off on watergate until they got a book deal

saw that google was opting every gmail user into feeding everything into gemini via "smart features," opted out, and google retaliated by disabling non-LLM features like the promotions and updates tab, fucking up my inbox. very cool

"I was trying to help my mom,” said 13-year-old Jayleane, shaking, as tears streamed down her cheeks. “I saw they were pulling her hair. They had the gun in front of me. I was scared.”
On Camera, Fed Agents Point Guns at Mother and Four Kids in Queens
The agents came looking for a relative who no longer lived in the apartment, the shellshocked mother told THE CITY. Days later, her children are terrified to leave their parents' sides.

i didn't think ticket sales could get worse but i guess we have entered an era in which scammers are selling tickets that never went on sale in the first place
huh okay well someone got their wires crossed, no big deal.

except... tickets are listed on stubhub. for... an outrageous amount of money

so, here's a weird thing that's happening. some website is claiming there's a live taskmaster event in NYC at the town hall on 1/23. tickets supposedly went on sale at 11 am today!

one of the craziest things in this piece is the architect who is "fine" with a fake writer inventing quotes from her????
A few months ago @thelocal.to got a promising pitch from a writer with bylines in whole bunch of reputable publications—The Cut, The Guardian, Dwell, Architectural Digest, etc. Then I started investigating. Here's a story about fabulists in journalism's AI slop era. thelocal.to/investigatin...

A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.
