the posse is so funny
Mike Johnson: "If you run as a socialist, you run on a big list false claims. You promise everything to everyone, and you can't deliver, and if you were able to deliver it would be to the great detriment of the people you lured in to vote for you."
Convinced he is only concerned about beef prices because steak prices are the only thing he and his rich crew interact with

I'm so pissed they killed IRS free file.

When we take the government back he should break up turbo tax with a baseball bat.

Make it so that no one ever wants to use private tax software for their personal returns again.
If you’re ever desperate for a Times article, there’s a 90% chance your local library offers free digital access to the Times with a library card. it’s their job to do that for you. you do not have to pay for it yourself. Cancel your sub
one thing that's nice about canceling your New York Times sub is every week you get at least one or two stories shared on here that make you say, "yeah, it rocks that I did that, I only wish I could do it again." highly recommend you cancel yours if you haven't already
I was replying to Brett to be clear, not you
Make a new google account and watch the ads you’re delivered on YouTube. They are insane.
The whole of the internet is now run on the things that would have not made it past your email junk filter 20 years ago.
Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state.

That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators
To fine it for running scam ads.

Also if you did the googling, you know this is true. any rephrase, which Word has done for years, is GenAI

You could argue exclusively underlining/highlighting spell/grammar check isn't generative as it technically only does classification, but as soon as your tool produces suggestions, it's generative, even if it wasn't actually machine learning based and worked purely based on harcoded heuristics.
Trust me, that shit goes right over 95% of the populations head when they read it and they don’t give a shit. And that’s the argument here.

chalk up another W for "if you want to stay ahead of the trend on global finance news, just become a European football fan"
UBS Chair Colm Kelleher isn't the only person worried about credit ratings arbitrage and optimization or weak insurance regulators. Marc Rowan of Apollo disagrees. Here's why Kelleher is right. Via @opinion.bloomberg.com >> www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Don’t forget a think tank groyper war bubbling under the surface
if you do do it too, you better be going extra slow. its really easy to accidentally sneak up on a pedestrian
the only time I'm OK with it is on busy two-lane roads. Otherwise, its really dangerous for both pedestrians and because sidewalks are not smooth rides for bikes.

it also is very confusing when it comes to crossing the street
What do y'all think about adults riding bikes on the sidewalk
why would they think the 2024 electorate would appear again? Trump's approval is like 20 points worse than it was a year ago
Good summary of why pollsters whiffed in VA and NJ. TLDR: electorate looked like 2017 when pollsters assumed it would look like 2024, plus Latino turnout exploded.

Pollsters Didn’t See the Blue Wave Coming in New Jersey and Virginia
Pollsters say they miscalculated who would show up to vote and a leftward shift by Latino voters.

Very similar in tone, sourcing and style to the "Harvard getting ready to cave to the Trump administration's demands" reporting the Times kept trotting out.
just going to keep noting that all this reporting continues to be incredibly friendly to senate republicans and continues to imply that shaheen and angus king are going to ask senate democrats to cave without having received any concessions, none of which is reflected in any on the record reporting
college educated people might be able to suss it out (very inexactly) but the rest of the population doesn't see much difference anymore between clippy and claude
well you are greatly mistaken about me being greatly mistaken. I work at a library and here stories about this information all the time. The general public is very tech illiterate when it comes to AI.
I'm agnostic on AI products - some productive uses that have made out small public service marketing team much more productive, some very very obvious horror uses that should be banned - but I'm a big AI business model hater. the worst people

hell they probably dont understand the distinction
and 95% of people mad about AI dont make that distinction themselves. they just like being mad online
the one thing I'll give them is branding it as Superhuman is stupid
(because all of these things are, thats literally how they work)
Languagetool is also AI powered
