Post a picture YOU took. Just a pic. No description.
That’s especially painful without the Oxford comma. And why is Seth saying Elon is a professor? Wait, did he mean “as”?! 🤣 What a self-pwn.

Whatever your policy preferences, how can anyone want to vote for this guy? He’s like the most inept slick person ever, always thinking he’s Machiavelli but actually sounding like a Drumpster fire.

Some folks were saying that in the USA, undocumented people (non/citizens, not eligible to vote in a federal election), are incentivized to fraudulently vote for Biden to prevent being deported were Trump to win. My reply: For the sake of argument let’s grant your premise that…
I was going to make a (supposedly) witty remark that at least one job AI can’t do and will remain the exclusive purview of human people, is MRI technician / patient assistant. 🤣 But it makes me wonder: Are folks working on non-ferromagnetic robots? A polymer robot with…
In the panoply of rightfully cancelled words due to guilt by association are quite a few to which I deem “good riddance”. We have plenty of better words for suppressed, scornful laughter, or for “stingy”, or an object of ridicule or criticism, and the embroidery folks can find…
To all you last-minute Christmas shoppers who might benefit from a hard-won lesson: In case you heard the radio ads, Adidas is in fact *not* (as claimed) a one-stop shop for all your holiday needs for everyone. Apparently it sells sweatpants and jock straps (admittedly that does…
What’s going on in the media when they describe victims of police violence as a “grandmother”? I’ve seen this several times. Is the implication that if you have a child who has a child, by birth or adoption, then you’re more worthy of being treated properly by the police?…
That is correct. Since the issue of my own cleverness, or lack of ChatGPT’s, is at stake, I will add that if we are considering the set of the family names of all Nobel laureates, funny enough “Curie” appears five times. But you’d think “Curie” should be the name of a medicine…
Umm. Folks…. We know what happened:
This is true but obvious. The more profound but controversial claim is that this will always be true. Paradoxically, this is the case whether the promise of AI is realized or not.
3 of my 6 “For You” trending videos feature @elonmusk. Is it that quiet around here? And two have low view counts.
I finally realized who @GovChristie has always reminded me of. In this case, his repudiation of his former boss is sincere, and will turn out much better.
Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary Alas, Twitter doesn’t exist anymore. Even if its automated growth messages still exist, like ghosts in the machine.
Asked about the incident, McConnell press liaison reports “the senator has nothing to say.” politico.com/news/2023/07/2…
It alway strikes me as darkly humorous when they say a person is “eligible for the death penalty”. Do we use “eligible” in a neutral, factual sense (rather than a positive one) in other circumstances? Imagine if your company said there will be layoffs soon and you are eligible!
Rate limit exceeded? I’m sorry, but no. On a scale of 1 to 5, I’d rate the new limit as maybe a 3 at most.

Two weeks ago in the post below, I proposed to hold a Zoom for candidates for the @Harvard Board of Overseers. I did so because I did not know any of the candidates and I had heard from many other alums looking for advice on whom to vote for. I reached out to each of the…
@PaulJeffries @MattWalshBlog Uh in reality the GOP has never been Conservative! Remember how Rush used to mention the Rockefeller Country Club Blue Bloods of the Republican Party! Also there were Democrats who went along with this as well! Why ! Sets a precedent on how to define hate speech!
The vast majority of Republicans just voted for a bill to criminalize criticisms of the Israeli government. If the bill passes you will be guilty of hate speech if you “apply double standards” to the government of Israel or accuse it of genocide. This is honestly one of the most…
@PaulJeffries @Austen That's revenue, not valuation. And if you still want higher numbers, consider that there are 442 public companies with revenue of $500 million to $1 billion, and 2,507 private companies in the same range. That's nearly six to one.
If OpenAI had access to an infinite amount of resources, why did they sell to Microsoft? AI -- meaning the models themselves -- is going to quickly become a commodity. The value will be in the associated compute (infrastructure) and data.
@PavlosProkopeas No, I've had them for six months or so, it's just that I would only wear them occasionally, usually when travelling, so I wouldn't have to take several pairs of glasses with me. Then after my last trip to Canada, I used them much more, which seems to have caused the issue.
@avendesta Yes much better. It's very strange really, I've been wearing glasses most of my life and never had a problem like this.
@MPichman Sure, I have known of the problem, it's just not how I expected it to present.
I haven't been feeling quite right for a few weeks. Dizzy, tired, brain fog, headaches etc. Then yesterday I realized it's the varifocals. Took them off, problem went away. Very curious in that I didn't have any eye-strain. Feel a bit stupid now I didn't realize this earlier.

@PaulJeffries @Austen Tax policy is complex but it boils down to a rule of thumb: You tax what you want less of; you don't tax what you want more of. If you tax growth, you'll get less growth. If you don't tax old wealth, you'll maintain old wealth. Make no mistake; this is a regressive tax proposal.
I met someone helping the British government with AI regulation. When I asked what they were going to regulate, he said he wasn't sure yet, and this seemed the most intelligent thing I've heard anyone say about AI regulation so far.
@PaulJeffries @Austen It's the situation I care about because it's where key innovation happens, which then powers economic growth for decades. I see no reason to think that they'll accommodate. The administration is hostile to Silicon Valley and friendly to incumbents.
@PaulJeffries @Austen I wrote "of the holding", not of the company. Obviously I meant their holding.
@PaulJeffries @VoteBidenOut @BillAckman @POTUS If they are capable of all that to hide that they stole the election surely eliminating the competition is easy as pie. They've got Obama in the shadows anyway Biden is irrelevant. The alphabet powers love Obama that's what this is. No one will read this it's so buried in the🧵
@PaulJeffries @RedShoe17 @eyeslasho Height is just how well you do at standing next to a tape measure
@PaulJeffries @VoteBidenOut @BillAckman @POTUS I think the jist is right. They believed everyone hated Trump so much it didn’t matter and with 90 legal barriers in his way even better. I truly believe the management class has been loving having a mindless meat puppet as figurehead. That’s probably their ideal president.
