I do enjoy using ChatGPT and am happy to pay for it. But I sure am not planning to invest in it.
HSBC forecasts that OpenAI is going to have nearly a half trillion in operating losses until 2030
sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

That one is for the very olds.

CIA statement about the Afghan man identified as the gunman who shot two National Guardsmen in Washington

Such a short-sighted shame. These directly fund dissertation research, and very few other sources do. They don’t subsidize salaries for students - they are for things like field research, buying data, running experiments. Awful.
This means NSF dissertation improvement grants in the social sciences are simply...not happening.
NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.

Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

YOU WANTED NET IMMIGRATION TO COME DOWN! THIS IS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE!
this should go without saying but if you were one of the lucky few we did get out of Afghanistan during the withdrawal and we got you out because you'd been working with us, deportation back is likely a death sentence.

Sweet dreams, darth. We await your emergence on the spring.

Kelly should get his money. This is the contract LSU signed. Presidents need to stand up to boosters and stop signing contracts with ridiculous buyouts.

Ok folks. What did Nuzzi’s friend catch Trump saying? Wrong answers only.
Will give you 5:1 that this tease is already known to be a nothing-burger.
This is a lot, but (allegedly) Olivia Nuzzi sent a secret recorder with a sketch artist to tape Trump at Mar-a-Lago so she could feed campaign intel to RFK, where [pauses to take a breath] something Trump said about his assassination attempt “would shatter our understanding of recent history”??

He writes raunchy romance novels now, I believe.

And I worry that people will find that a disappointment.

I share his concerns. I think people are getting way over their skis on this. But finishing within single digits is possible and that would be huge!

Really hope I’m wrong, but my sense is that expectations are too high in the Tennessee race. This state is really, really Trumpy, and hasn’t soured on him nearly as much as the rest of the country.

Also, when you say people saying "Dems would win everywhere with a Mamdani-style platform," I think it's important to remember that that platform delivered the most charismatic candidate in recent history a whopping 50.4% of the vote against a street vigilante and actual vampire, in New York City

How odd. “Trumpublican” is right there for the taking.
