If I use a tool and ask “tell me what happened on [easily researchable and verifiable event]” and it spits out nonsense, and then I do it again and it spits out different nonsense, then even if there is a sequence of magic steps I can take to get around it, I’ll never be able to trust it.

truly amazing how many different professions there are where everyone’s newest persistent headache is “AI zealots high on their own supply”
Met a 40yo gallery-ist at a party in SF. We spent most of the party talking abt the art world, but mostly what she talked abt was how most of her life now is telling AI “artists” that they are not artists, she won’t sell their “work” in her gallery, & that “prompt writer” isn’t an artistic medium.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

This is another frustration of how e-bikes are covered.
There is so much fixation on weight. Yes, e-bikes are heavy. But not *that* heavy.
I weigh 175 and my kid weighs 40 lbs. I carry her on a 30 lb. MTB bike or a 80 lb. e-bike.
Combined we weigh either 245 lbs 290 lbs, or an 18% difference.

If “AI” did the thing, organizations would be bragging about the outcomes instead of jawing endlessly about the tools.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
