Since Altman (of OpenAI) claims that AI agents provide you with “PhD-level expertise”, a TA from Cornell University put three major LLMs through a freshman Computer Science class… it went about as well as you might expect, and it’s very entertaining!

A weapon made solely to deny families closure, to inflict psychic damage on entire societies. People planned and built this. They sold it to their superiors. They manufactured it. They loaded it on planes and drones and dropped it on human beings.
“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

If you abandon a post in the dark-limned gap between posting and the drafts, it goes off to live in the woods and comes back years later to exchange its firstborn child with yours
Is there a way to remove the "save draft" option from the menu when I cancel out of a post? I keep hitting it by accident and saving shit I don't want to save

Age verification? When we saw Star Wars we had to drive to a theater 30 minutes away because it didn't open in the theaters near us until a week later.

A pile of PDFs have gone out the door to backers of Songfall Survivors and most of the hard copies have gone out. I hope to send out the remaining physical rewards and shipping invoices shortly so we can wrap this up.

Meadow Lane, the store mentioned in the article, isn't Whole Foods. It has bouncers and like $25 salads.

Much worse. The "luxury grocery stores" have bouncers, and are stupidly expensive by anyone's metric. They're not like popping down to Costco for a rotisserie chicken and a pizza.

We got a sneak peek into NYC's most popular new grocery store
The Gen Z grocer became infamous on social media as 'Brokeback Contessa,' where he shared constant updates about the delays his upscale market's opening was facing.

It’s great that the grand jury said nix, but the attempt was a significant escalation.

There are several throughlines in the Epstein saga. One is the community of elite child rapists and sex pests. Another is the weak narcissistic thirst for proximity to power and influence and celebrity. But another is official hubris: how offended Top People are that we question how they Do Things.

One of my favorite concerts I've ever been to was getting to see Tengger Cavalry live in a tiny club in Charlotte: a Mongolian folk metal band, featuring traditional instruments and throat singing.
I am always struck by how these people think everyone must be secretly as small-hearted as they.

Both these options sound objectively amazing, why do racists keep assuming everyone's racist?

Modern sci fi RPGs need less power loader/mech suits and more "everyone rides in this one giant wheel"
A co-worker lent me his copy of Empire Galactique, a French TTRPG from the early 80s.
The art is crazy (and there's a lot of it!), the layout is almost non-existent, character creation is interesting but has a lot of math. Reading it is a wild time!

Yes, all of this sounds perfectly acceptable to me. My response is, "Fucking bring it."
