"No longer should we think about our political process as settling for the lesser of two evils. We can demand a greater good.

And in doing so, we can make City Hall a place from which New Yorkers expect change, not failure."

Here’s where it gets personal for me. When I was 9, I started experiencing suicidal ideation … disinterested in living, and at least some of the time contemplating death and how it might happen … It’s easy to imagine how I would have used programs like these chatbots.
Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide?
"It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

Yes this is a bigger re-alignment of a Dem coalition than Obama 08. Notice how he’s made a broad coalition without welcoming in transphobes or anti abortion assholes!
For anyone who follows NY politics, the fact that state Democratic leaders Kathy Hochul, Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Carl Heastie are about to appear on stage at Zohran Mamdani’s big Forest Hills rally (which is also being headlined by AOC and Bernie Sanders) is tectonic.

It’s quite impressive how Mamdani has pulled almost every Dem into his coalition, not him into theirs. He keeps the door open for everyone but true enemies (Adams, Cuomo) & rather than try to extort a Hochul into a promise, he just puts her onstage & lets the popular will confront her. Amazing.
Governor Kathy Hochul is speaking on stage, but the crowd keeps interrupting to chant #TaxTheRich

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for.
Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?”

No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

Stop overrelying on "AI" for important shit. Like, honestly, stop using it for important shit at all, but definitely stop uncritically trusting it at the level of the GODDAM FEDERAL JUDICIARY.
Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire.

Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*
Two federal judges say use of AI led to errors in US court rulings
Two federal judges admitted in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that members of their staff used artificial intelligence to help prepare recent court orders that Grassley called "error-ridden."

People keep saying this but I strongly disagree that most people can successfully perform an emotion on camera or speaking in front of a crowd if you merely authentically experience that emotion. It's much harder than you think it is. bsky.app/profile/inep...
It's still galling that a Democratic politician would need speech training and acting classes to learn how to convey anger at the demolition of the East Wing of the White House. So many Dem politicians are Turing Test failures, trapped somewhere in the uncanny valley between human and robot.
This is why debate clubs and the use of public political (or ideological) debates are foundationally bullshit. It’s unfortunately not about what is correct or right, but persuading people to your side. People think they are logical, but we are not naturally so at all.
Speaking the truth honestly gives you and advantage over a liar, but a liar who works hard at communicating can beat someone who thinks the truth speaks for itself.

Jesus christ that's so many unchecked citations. These people are so fucking willfully, seemingly gleefully incompetent. Jesus fucking christ.

This is why you don't use LLM-type "AI" to write shit: This is what you look like.

For a pantry cabinet Japanese cha tansu are already extremely functional. If I can have a room sized pantry I would use one of these.

Kudos to the State of Massachusetts for putting this message on the SNAP page. Put the blame where it belongs!
Anyway, I’m just going to look at antiques online for today while I do my laundry/clean house.
I just want to 1) have my own place that I can remodel how I like and 2) the funds to do so. Money is wasted on the rich, 99% of them have no taste.
I would do similar in a bathroom, tbh, but would be much more selective and use fewer pieces because of moisture.
This Moroccan wardrobe could become the skin for even an ENORMOUS modern fridge. There’s so much I could do with a place that I own!
