this is why you do not put someone who has been failing upwards since she built a career out of trying to get a professor fired for being pro-palestine in charge of a giant news organization
weiss does not know how to run a news organization, and so she's doing what she does best: hosting fatuous "debates" involving the people in her group chats www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
Bari Weiss’ Next CBS News Move: Town Halls With JD Vance, Sam Altman and Debates About God and Feminism
The news division is also planning a town hall with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore in the 'Things That Matter' series, with Bank of America lined up as a sponsor.

You have a massive story in front of you that the President of the United States just broadcast on live TV: everyone in the US will get 400% off of their prescriptions.
You have a duty to report on that thoroughly, and if you feel as though you don't then what fucking good are you?

Not one fucking reporter - not one - has seen fit to push the President on how exactly he'll get us all free pharmaceuticals.
100% off is free. 400%? Nonsensical, but still free.
But nobody's bothering to push him or anyone else in the administration.
This is his health plan. ASK, DAMN YOU.

i hate that AI is such a buzzword these days because it's all linear algebra soup and sometimes the soup is actually extremely good. GFS's reduced accuracy in previous events (hurricane sandy, notably) from computational limitations has cost lives. 99.7% reduction with comparable accuracy is insane.

The fact that it at least anecdotally seems to be a semi-regular practice to tell white people a minority got the job in order to soften the blow of rejection really should put the elite woke panic into perspective.

Even when it is true that the minority got the job, if ten people are told this and there was only one job then at least nine white people are wrongly aggrieved.

oppressed classes throughout history from women to slaves to the colonized have been analogized to children as a paternalist rationale for their subjugation
the oppression of children runs so deep in our society that one of the primary ways that we disempower people is by assigning them child-adjacent status as adults. license to abuse flows from that

One of my favourite Mario 64 modders experimented briefly with using ChatGPT to help with code optimization. I feel that a 'Hey man, knock that off, it sucks' is a more useful response than 'You are forever dead to me, traitor to humanity, I can never trust anything you do ever again!'.
