Here is John Steward learning the hard truth about the consequences of defunding basic science.

Overall, a funny conversation with Geoffrey Hinton, who explains deep learning very nicely.

Still, even if it's not strictly central banks (who knows?), someone's been buying @katie0martin.ft.com's pet rock. And it seems likely govts are involved.

Taking it back to now, there's obviously a reservoir of skepticism about valuations, viability of AI business models, redundant buildouts, etc., that can easily make this just an interim, refreshing cooling-off moment.

Like a glass of water between every drink at the bar, this can prolong the fun.

Just heard a commercial on z100 ny 🧊Barbie about dangerous migrants in our towns. I’ll be calling to complain. My kids don’t need to hear that when just trying to listen to music. Ok @z100newyork.bsky.social you just lost a lifetime listener.

Illegally firing the CDC experts while he gets the latest COVID vaccine is really beyond the pale.

It’s tradition that when you see the frogs, you show them respect 🫡

I owned that and sold it already, too early of course. So now stubborn me needed something similar. I also bought that frog costume so flat on the day in happiness I guess. 🐸

It’s going to be hilarious when it turns out the frog has spawned so many new frogs and the official name for a group of frogs is a FROG ARMY

A group of frogs is called an army but can also be called a colony or chorus.
