The thought that has festered and dug itself under my skin the last few weeks is that there are absolutely weekend warrior militia members working for ICE right now who will remember these as the best years of their lives.

And seriously, fuck every last one of them.

Yes, Trump’s Obama Derangement Syndrome is real — but it’s just a sliver of his relentless jihad against intellect and his ugly obsession with bringing down those he envies and despises as the elites who’ll never embrace him as one of their own.

Four jumbo-Jupiters orbiting a star 133 light years away. Awesome.
These are real images of exoplanets.

Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away.

These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark.

And we can see them.

To better understand the current state of AI, it's best to think of it as meaning Automated Information. That's all it is. Information being offered by a program trying to figure out what you're asking for. Any flicker of intelligence you might see in its method is entirely from randomness.
i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers
it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

Physics is a real thing. I frequently boil eggs, and out of curiosity I occasionally stick the instant read the thermometer into the boiling water.
