Eppur si muove! -and yet it moves. Something Galileo probably never said, but what a beautiful retort in defiance of religious oppression it would have been.
Good thread from Baldur, pointing that LLMs have very little actual economic value, but all the downsides covered by me and others - and more.
The economic risk for societies can be enormous.

“AI sceptics” who work on policy and education continue to overestimate the utility of LLMs—portraying it as a potential revolution even as they warn against overhype—simply because they can’t see that generating seemingly coherent text has very little economic value, all evidence to the contrary

Israel is using existing ceasefire agreements to establish new realities on the ground, projecting itself as the regional hegemon by launching attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank.

Bodily autonomy & civil rights are not a fucking OPINION, however. That is not up for debate or to be negotiated. We know exactly who you are targeting here.
Which candidate yet has had the spine to tell right wing & even centrist DEMS that their bigoted OPINIONS do not dictate the laws or science?

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.
I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening

The fact that TPUSA posted the entirely reasonable comments from the instructor here as coming from the “TRANS PROFESSOR” gives away the game.

Just had a good laugh at someone I completely forgot existed coming back here and blocking me straight away. Do people keep a list of previous blocks, or am I just such a horrible person they will remember me forever?

Har litt inntrykk av at både SP og MDG møtte opp til forhandlingene med diametralt motsatte krav og hver sin selvmordsvest, og det ble MDG som ga seg først. Kanskje det aldri var håp
