You can't simultaneously tell me that it's too hard to use a trans person's pronouns and then turn around and call an AI chatbot "she."
If you're giving less consideration to a human being than a fucking computer program, you're just an asshole.

“when did you, jd vance, apologize for being white” feels like a pretty natural question for the press to ask the vice president now

Debugging existing code is harder than writing new code, precisely because you need to have a mental model of what that code is doing and what you want it to do.
This is even more difficult if you don't already know the language you're using.

In even a barely-functioning system, a president who unilaterally imposed a national sales tax and lied about who would pay it would be removed from office
HASSETT: If the Supreme Court doesn't find with us, refunds would go to whoever cut the check for the tariff
BRENNAN: Doesn't the administration claim it was the country that paid that?
HASSETT: Uhh --

This also has a lot to do with every tech company getting rid of QA because it interferes with “velocity”. It’s as much an Uncle Bob sickness as it is an AI sickness.

LLMs are kind of wild. You’re replacing the process of writing something with a proofreading process. You put in all this effort to understand the LLM output and then you have to review it incredibly closely, down to tiny details.
It’s MORE WORK, and more error prone work.
It’s MORE WORK, and more error prone work.
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

As federal agents descend on Chicago for more immigration raids, our analysis shows what happened to ~1,600 people arrested there this fall. We report how federal agencies moved them through an expanded network of detention facilities — many rife with complaints of inhumane conditions.

Well, I’m glad that a rich VC is involved. When the student sues, they’ll be able to get a nice check.

Around half of San Francisco is without power right now and something like 1/3rd of intersections I drove through had waymos stopped in the middle of them making a dangerous situation even worse.

A Cliffs Notes for the Jake Paul situation since I'm seeing people confused.
Jake Paul and his brother were 'prank streamers'. Yes exactly. They got famous for doing that and got rich. Jakes fame got to his head and somewhere along the way he started believing he could fight pro boxers.
