If you have a LARGE follower count, pls know that Scott Horton is a chronic thief of posts. He also gets things very wrong and won't take posts down. No matter how nicely you ask.

Please unfollow him and do not repost.

Although he steals everything, Horton was recently verified by Bluesky.
Check the words. Check the time stamps.

Fucking clown shit.

If there's a point to this thread, it's this: cherish the ridiculous, expansive dreamers in your life. They illuminate the world. Warm yourself in the glow they cast and never discount the value of imagining something stupidly impossible together. The alternative - not having them - is worse.

The power of the placebo effect is that even though the brooms don't do anything, the stones still slide further because they *think* they do
The dirty secret of curling that no one involved in the sport will admit is that the broom doesn’t do anything

Would be interesting to compare the results on more recent models - but this problem won’t go away. LLMs are always going to be extrapolating from what has already, and often, been thought, which is why they aren’t windows to the future but anchors to the past.

If the material foundation of “AI” is extraction—from minerals for hardware to the data of users—then the political constellation into which you dream it will still be dictated by that bounding condition.

It turns out you CAN make a N. Am. version of Windows stop doing Bing web searches in your Start Menu and even uninstall Bing

Known downsides? Phone Link won't show up in Start Menu (will work otherwise) and the Recommended section in File Explorer won't be there. What a tragedy, that loss

Among *all this* here's a reminder that the monsters aren't simply the ones with the vests and guns and skeleton masks, they are also the petty heartless bureaucratic functionaries. As there are in every authoritarian regime.
Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.
