I’m certainly not going to say that latrine facilities are unimportant to an army’s combat readiness, but a preoccupation with scrupulous enforcement of gender segregation in their use seems like at best a distraction.

I am very sorry that wicked men have hurt you in the name of the Son of God.

Wait doesn’t the etymology still apply but in reverse: he’s on a journey because he’s a journeyman?

I don’t think Altman (for example) is a bad person or even a negligent one for failing to predict this emergent problem. If you like, it’s a “end of Fallout 1” situation: you’re a hero, but you have to leave.

As a society, we need to find the strength to say to the Sams Altman of the world: congratulations, you successfully solved the hard problem; unfortunately your solution turns out to be fundamentally and profoundly toxic to human civilization and must be destroyed root and branch

The technology is genuinely revolutionary but it turns out that deployment at scale has very bad results. A bit like leaded gasoline.

Humans are also very bad at “shut up when we can’t answer”. The truly cursed thing about the LLM is that it lies as freely and fluidly as we do, but in a manner that is different enough from ours that it evades the specialized defenses we have developed against living among a bunch of constant liars

I’ve been encouraging mine to take advantage of the fact that there are no rules today and I will not be mad and will in fact prefer to clean the carpet than go outside for even a minute, but they aren’t getting it.

Yeah the thing people forget about the Titanic is that it really was remarkably sink-resistant! The lesson, other than the one everyone gets about hubris, is also: sometimes you prepare and plan for the exact scenario that happens to you and you still just fail completely.

No Venezuela? Aren’t we supposed be “running” it now?

I think this would’ve resulted in like 1 Belgian company processing and filing more asylum applications more successfully than the entire US government apparatus managed to accomplish under 4 years of Biden.

@travisview.bsky.social I think it might be time to retire Oleksandr’s photo.

I see the alt text indicates it’s a retro style illustration from 2019 rather than an actual 100 year old poster, which makes it even more confusing, because it means there’s not some goofy roaring 20s context I’m missing.

Um. Ok I don’t mean to be crude or to bring something up that might divert attention from the good information here but…

What’s going on in the lower corners there?

What happens when they violate state law?

If an Ice Guy late for work in his private vehicle but like wearing his uniform does 50 in a school zone do they have to wait and call the federal traffic cops to pull him over or can the Minneapolis PD handle that?

The low key worst part will be people making earnest-but-misguided attempts to be supportive.

On the other hand, the man does know his demolitions, you can’t take that away from him.

I mean he *is* always getting chewed out about it.

Functionally, Bond’s field work is essentially almost entirely elaborate feints to divert attention from guys like Felix Leiter.
