A good reminder that *every* LLM is inherently biased and we should treat them as such

At scale I mean, but point taken

I hate to say it, but perhaps bc the harm to kids v older folks

Do these companies pay any taxes/fees towards pedestrian infrastructure like car taxes pay for roads, or are they sidewalk freeloaders? Also, why not burrito bikes? Clearly faster

While the underlying tech might be similar, one is an empire built on theft, the other (I assume) is built on a database from consenting patients

I’d be *extremely* excited for a pro-consumer/democracy platform in which copyright is enforced & creators are compensated, media lit & algo bias are taught in every school, deepfakers are criminally prosecuted, fake legal citations > stripped licenses, burst bubbles are left to die, etc.

It'd be nice if fines for impersonation extended beyond federal officials, god forbid electeds think about anybody else

It's unintuitive because it kinda murders the entire financial incentive structure of the internet and content creation generally!! . . . on which AI relies.

In some ways, this feels like harvesting and then salting the earth, for no other reason than there is a lot of salt lying around.

Someone is going to have the write the thing about how “vibe” has become a substitute for meaningful theory in a world where the theory is so clear — grift and power — but we collectively refuse if because it isn’t sophisticated enough to generate make work for empiricists.

Based on everybody I know under 40: getting less house, living farther from work, maybe with roommates, maybe putting off having kids. Age is the primary determinant for house size/neighborhood, not income.

Sunshine (2007), kind of

Fair, but don’t you think it would have been worth letting that play out? Meanwhile blue states were stepping up & winning the PR battle.

The courts might have restored SNAP this week, no? Why now?

I hear people frame affordability not as nominal prices, but as life questions like ‘can I pay for a 4y college with a summer job?’ or ‘will child care cost as much as my mortgage?’ or ‘will this medical procedure erase my savings’ or ‘are tech execs hell bent on destroying my profession?’

For once, Dems held the cards but folded (I suspect) once big airline donors made enough calls

Honestly, how can one talk about affordability in terms of groceries but ignore the massive cost increases for child care, elder care, health care, higher education, cars, and yes housing?

Meanwhile nobody knows what’s going on in their own backyard without the reporting previously done by local papers

Having worked on plastics legislation, the suggestion that “moderates” have been equally as helpful as the environmental ‘left’ on the issue is laughable
