company culture isn't magic pixie dust that gets sprinkled on your startup when you get funded.

it's your character amplified thru the organization

Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D) is condemning ICE for "snatching up children and breaking up families" after two children were detained and ICE rejected offers by local law enforcement to reunite the kids with their pleading mother. #copolitics
ma’am, this is family hour
I’m so sorry to hear this, Mike.

ABANDONED THE TODDLER IN THE BACKSEAT

Arrest these motherfuckers for child endangerment
Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

Notable that the people carrying Trumpism don't act like they believe they're carrying out the will of the public, they act like dictators terrified of a spontaneous uprising so swift and massive it overwhelms their protective services before assistance can arrive.
i just realized i mispelt yours in my question. I actually looked twice and was certain i saw two ‘l’s.

the ‘i’ on either side is difficult to discern etc
I appreciate the snark, so well-played. John, btw.
serious question Phillip -

with a trained corpus that is either outdated vis-a-vis current events or potentially purposely devoid of such data (ideological) why wld you continue using this?
i believe that’s Habitat for Destructos
habitat for humanity is always looking for volunteers in DEN, if that’s something that’s available around you.

the day i volunteered was hotter than hell, but it was very satisfying knowing i helped build a house for a family who needed one.
i have moral + ethical opposition to training model theft made possible by the very thing that made the internet wonderful:

the idea (+ implementation) of open protocols that allowed anyone to publish anything, for everyone with an internet connection to access. ‘open’ does not mean ‘yours’.
as i’ve said dozens of times, the models are trained on copyrighted works that have not been licensed for this use.

this isn’t fair use, it’s infringement. it’s taking someone's work without permission or compensation, which in plain language is theft.

let’s make some case law here.
Judge rules George R.R. Martin and other authors can sue OpenAI for copyright infringement

• Said ChatGPT generated 'Game of Thrones' content similar enough to infringe copyright

• OpenAI’s motion to dismiss was denied
something abt cleaning gutters + Matlock on VHS
Thank you, Kyle.
Our weekly Word of Thanks microgiving campaigns are pivoting, effective immediately, to feeding Coloradans in need as SNAP food benefits lapse. We'll continue this effort each week for the foreseeable future. Our first campaign kicks off on tonight's program. Details to follow.
WHY DO YOU HATE WAFFLES AND LED ZEPPELIN
Logging in today and I see that @kevinmkruse.bsky.social has tagged in for @radiofreetom.bsky.social. Making a reasonable and nuanced observation that immediately causes people who are unable to balance multiple ideas at once to fully meltdown.
When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

For 50 years the right has been telling us that the appropriate response to this is to open fire on these goons. They say we need assault weapons as a bulwark against a tyrannical government snatching people off the streets.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.
how many pain sticks wld be enough tho
"I was new in town, lonely, and that monkey had an expense account…"
/4 “Tulane must be held responsible,” Secretary Kennedy insisted. “The monkeys escaped because of inhumane treatment. They clearly don’t have good health care or they wouldn‘t have all these diseases. Except for herpes. That one can happen to anybody.”

deplorable wasn't nearly descriptive enough for these people. they're pure distilled evil.
There are 80,000+ people in his county who are about to experience a food shortage caused by his own party's government shutdown, and his only response is racism.
if you're wondering how things are going in texas, the chairman of the Tarrant County GOP is joking that Nov. 1st, the day SNAP benefits are poised to run out, is "National Chimp Out Day"
