Starting a running thread of new music I’m listening to. Goal is one new album a day.
First up, Architects’ first album Hollow Crown. Great stuff. If I’d snagged it in 2009 when it released, it would have become a sizable part of my personality. I can see why Architects has the following they do.

It’s remarkable every time this dumb site gets in a doom loop that amounts to “Trump is going to outflank the feckless Dems with bread and circuses!” Because lol lmao
god imagine if they had gone through with the "reapply for SNAP" gambit
they're so ideologically committed to ending welfare that they. don't realize welfare chauvinism was their best shot at keeping the House (and why Trump won 2024)

Every situation is different and you know your friends and family best, but, generally speaking, this is absolutely a time where it’s best to take the initiative.
A friend had a death in his family & our other friends wanted to do something for him but weren't sure what. My advice was to not say "let us know if we can do anything" having been in a similar situation. The person is overwhelmed. Don't put the burden on them. Instead tell them what you can do 1/

In this Ohio diner, 60 Minutes still means the amount of supervised visitation you get with your kids until you can pass a drug test. But they do know this: no news report can be trusted unless it includes Stephen Miller's side of the story.

One of the things I realized recently that gives me a lot of hope is that to get to a capital F capital S Fascist State, the fascists really do have to run the board. And this current slate of fascists is not exactly doing that.
The fascists certainly aren't very good at this, are they

The through line of Weiss's journalistic ethos is that criticisms of conservatives are stale the moment they're uttered because they're predictable, but literally any take that cuts against a liberal/left line is a bold insight never before heard or seen in such startling fashion

This sucks. People yelling about how AI is the devil should be regular ol’ flesh and blood cranks like me. Bots ruin everything.
There's a massive anti-AI bot network that triggers any time there's a post with slight positive sentiment towards AI. If one of those bots attaches to your post, you're hosed.
It sucks and it makes any sort of normal, substantive AI discourse nearly impossible to exist here.

Deleted a post that was going viral and bringing an undesirable amount of attention from anonymous accounts. But, I'm going to be honest, the toxic folks here have won. So much of the usage of the site is about avoiding their attention. I'll just use this site to get book recs going forward

My two issues with using AI for creative pursuits (outside of the big, main concerns) are:
- by the time I wrangle a good chapter out of it I probably could have just written it myself
- even if you do get a good chapter out of it, who’s to say the next chapter will be good or even make sense?
- by the time I wrangle a good chapter out of it I probably could have just written it myself
- even if you do get a good chapter out of it, who’s to say the next chapter will be good or even make sense?
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.
