That was DPI but knowing these refs, they weren’t going to call that in favor of the Jags

The whole team pushing the quarterback (any player really) in a scrum for 10 yard is just stupid and horrible to watch

Indiana is completely dominating this first half. I hope they keep it going all game, no holding up until the game is over

Indiana has all the momentum in their favor and it looks like that’s starting to cause Oregon to crack under pressure

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy
A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

I think this is the longest paragraph I’ve ever seen! The length of it made me feel unnerved halfway through the eternal paragraph
While the AWS team has resolved the severe us-east-1 outages, reading this post-mortem makes one thing clear: they are still suffering from a critical shortage of paragraph breaks
