I argue that LLMs are the opposable thumb of computing:

fundamentally novel range of motion that, when combined with the error-correcting fingers of conventional computing, change what's possible altogether

LLMs: the opposable thumb of computing

Amidst all the hype, all the skepticism, all the rending of clothes, I am here to tell you: the LLM is to computing what the thumb is to our hand.

The SNAP crisis seems like a floor falling out of loads of that infrastructure

how much of our various supply chains run on underpaid people who won’t be able to feed their families? We’ll find out shortly

Danilo, Juicero Aspect 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 34m

it’s the least important fact by far

But even American consumerism has fallen apart. “Express shipping” is just a tax on the gullible at this point

businesses can’t keep promises because of various breakdowns we can’t see

I do think with any new technology, a just transition is important and appropriate

so maybe we can do something for everyone who built an identity on being able to write regex from memory, this is a tough moment there

Reddit is the only place where you can find a negative number next to a toilet-brained reply and say

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

Don't say the second when you mean the first.

You genuinely can’t win a war if you tolerate too much doomer behavior. Public doomerism is shockingly socially corrosive.

it sucks that alongside civil libertarians, leftist futurism also went extinct in the Trump era, and now all popular futurism is explicitly fascist

We don’t know how to actually be in coalition together and fight for the rights that protect all of us to create a country we want. Our rights are sorely in need of a refresh and a fight. But we don’t take that fight as seriously as we could. We taking fighting each other much more seriously.

But all four of these groups can be seduced to use the tools of the right to get ahead of another member of the coalition. Often can see another part of the coalition as a bigger threat than the right - a fundamentally segregationist party.

I have a pet theory that the four parts of a pro-democracy coalition are class-based socialist, race/class/gender based socialists, Industrialists/Capitalists, and Identitarians. Those four groups are fighting the right (white nationalists/christian nationalists/plutocrats).

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 23h

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

the ubiquitous technology that we all love and are dependent upon (the internet) also causes harm on a daily basis

you are not clean, your favorite technology is not pure, your heuristic for critiquing technology cannot hinge upon whether or not it causes harms

dame @dame.is · May 17

why are y’all using the internet and search engines? these are evil systems that consume enormous amounts of energy, spread CSAM, aid genocides, enable abuse/harassment, are filled with lies/misinformation/slop, and are used by fascists!

you should go to your local library and use the card catalog!

it would be good if, say, the New York Times reported that all of this stuff is *wildly* illegal under the Hatch Act.

man

Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance.

“I’d love to see them try and draw a clock. It’s a hard test but I can do it, and every time they say ‘my god that is a beautiful clock, we’ve never seen one that good.’ Ask them try and draw one, I can’t wait to see it.”

“‘The vast majority are children, working ppl, older Americans, veterans and people w/disabilities,’ Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America, says of food stamp recipients. ‘If the SNAP program shuts down, we will have the most mass hunger suffering we've had in America since the Great Depression.’”

1) it's about 8 billion dollars
2) all of those payments are going to miss at once
3) it is roughly evenly distributed everywhere

simply figuring out who needs it is more or less impossible on a week's notice. if you had 8 billion dollars you couldn't distribute it with this little lead time.

There is much to recommend Istanbul as a destination but no one prepared me for the joy of so many cats out and about

c0nc0rdance @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · 1d

There are as many as a million street cats, a legacy of practicality (ridding ships & wooden building of rodents), religion (Islam considers cats ritually clean & wise) & tradition.

People leave out food, build cat shelters & generally treat them with kindness & respect.

From a Travel Turkey website, an image of a ginger cat on a stone or metal structure that overlooks the Hagia Sophia and the skyline of Istanbul, filled with distant skyscrapers.
