Outlandish claims of LLM productivity boosts are based on gains in quality metrics that measure only activities they can reasonably do. It's like trying to prove in 1920 that e.g airplanes will reshape all human economic activity by pointing at consistent gains in aerodynamics or fuel efficiency

I'm pretty concerned about what will happen to Mamdani's reputation if he takes a very hard socialist turn very quickly when he gets into office and Trump concurrently wipes out federal funding for NYC

Abroad in Japan just released a really well done and important video about the absolute slop fest of misinformation about Japan that is harder and harder to navigate through these days, highly recommended.

my prediction from the beginning was that Alan Garcia (Mamdani) would win and have a weak mayorship. Picking a fight with the federal government + mass rent control is prolly going to be bad for NYC. Hes a marvelous speaking talent just like Garcia but also like A.G that cant overcome a bad economy

Twilight Zone is such a fascinating time capsule. There’s an episode that come out like right after the Eichmann Trial about a former ss officer being haunted by the crimes of his past. What was most striking to me watching it was how Sterling took aim at the notion of ‘just following orders’-

You misread the article. The poster talks about gassing his internal political opponents within the Young Republicans, not Democrats.
Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.
This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

if we do a very conscious one-time amnesty for people who have spent the last two years slagging Bluesky to come over to Bluesky, does that solve everyone's problem?
