Some have claimed unfairly that Jim is not an especially bright cat, but we believe this is untrue, and that the reality is more complex. He is simply very *emotionally* intelligent.

This sure is A Take from OpenAI.
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

This is fine as a legal argument in formal terms but some questions you might ask yourself in writing a brief is “what are the odds this is the argument that does it” (essentially zero here) and “what are the odds this argument makes the judge or the public mad at me” (much higher!)

Save me from managers who look at experiment results, ignore that the p-value is ABOVE 0.5, and say "but the results are directionally trending towards X" and use that to make a decision.

Fascinated by the conclusions of this article and dYiNg at the use of ASR for "attack success rate" when ASR is already a very established industry term for Automatic Speech Recognition.
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

It’s really not funny that the federal government is throwing away basic criminal procedure in a rush to indict political enemies, but it IS hilarious.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.
"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

last night at a formal event (more on this later) my work was described as “keeping the AI industry in check”
a nice lady from another table walks over & asks me: “my sister asked chatGPT how to get a pay rise & the answer boiled down to “become a man”. why did that happen & how do we fix it?”

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

I've been at my current job for nearly a year now, which means the insecure dudes (and it's always a fucking dude) who feel intimidated by me being highly competent are reaching breaking point and getting more and more assholish.
I'm very tired and I just want to solve interesting puzzles in peace.
